B. $2,920
C. $2.92

Show answer

Q5
Why is a machine’s hours row usually not its full cost?
A. Because the hours row already includes a discount
B. Because providers bill machines only once a year
C. Its disks, snapshots and addresses bill on other rows
D. Because tax is added to each machine separately
Show answer
Correct: C. One machine produces several rows. Add the disk, snapshot and address rows to the hours row to get what the machine really costs.
Q6
What is the main benefit of sorting every bill row into compute, storage, network and database?
A. It lowers the amount the provider charges
B. A long bill becomes a short summary anyone can read
C. It removes the tax line from the bill
D. It is required before the provider accepts payment
Show answer
Correct: B. Four boxes are easier to read and compare than 50 rows, and they show patterns, such as many small network rows, that the row list hides.
Q7
A bill shows -$500 (illustrative) labelled as a promotional credit. What does that mean?
A. $500 off what you owe, usually for a limited time
B. You owe the provider an extra $500
C. Your usage fell by $500 compared with the month before
D. The provider made an error you must report
Show answer
Correct: A. A credit reduces what you pay. It does not reduce what you used, and it usually ends, so the full cost returns later.
Q8

A. $1,250
B. $1,000
C. $750

A. Free, because the provider pays the seller on your behalf
B. A real charge, usually under the seller’s product name
