A(n) ____ is one that can be measured or estimated in terms of dollars and that accrue to the organization.
- A.
Net present value (NPV)
- B.
Tangible benefit
- C.
Breakeven point
- D.
Intangible benefit
Correct Answer
B. Tangible benefitExplanation
A tangible benefit refers to a measurable or estimable gain in terms of dollars that an organization receives. Unlike intangible benefits, which are difficult to quantify, tangible benefits can be measured and evaluated in monetary terms. This means that tangible benefits can be easily understood and assessed in financial terms, making them valuable for organizations to track and analyze their financial performance. Examples of tangible benefits include cost savings, increased revenue, or improved efficiency, all of which can be measured and quantified in dollars.Rate this question:

Projects initiated through strategic planning are sometimes described as ____ projects.
- A.
Critical
- B.
Top-down
- C.
Prototype
- D.
Weighted
Correct Answer
B. Top-downExplanation
Projects initiated through strategic planning are sometimes described as "top-down" projects because they are driven by the organization's overall strategy and goals. In a top-down approach, the strategic objectives are defined first, and then specific projects and actions are identified to support those objectives. This means that the direction and priorities for the project are determined from the top levels of the organization and cascade down to the lower levels. This approach ensures alignment with the organization's strategic vision and allows for effective resource allocation and coordination across different projects and departments.Rate this question:
