Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A study used to assess the desirability of a program by examining costs and benefits is a cost-benefit study. Cost-accounting studies are performed to find the actual cost of a program. A study designed to measure the quality of a program as it relates to cost is a cost-effectiveness study. A cost-efficiency study is designed to examine the actual cost of performing program ser-vices and to focus on productivity versus cost.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Cost-accounting studies are performed to find the actual cost of a program. Cost-accounting studies do not detect what percentage of clients recover, measure how long it takes for clients to see a provider, or note how many cases are associated with other major risk factors.
