Answer to Question 1

So named because it breaks down the budget into the major categories commonly used in government (e.g., personnel, equipment, contractual services, commodities, and capital outlay items); every amount of money requested, recommended, appropriated, and expended is associated with a particular item or class of items.
Strengths: fosters budgetary control because no item escapes scrutiny, ease of control, development, comprehension (especially by elected and other executive branch officials), and administration
Weaknesses: neglect of long-range planning and its limited ability to evaluate performance
