    Good morning!
    I’d like to ask about zero based budgeting question from Speciment exam.

    Two statements
    1) Employees will focus on eliminating wasteful expenditure
    2) Short-term benefits could be emphasised over long-term benefits

    The asnwer is that both statements are true.
    The first one is ok, but why the second one is true? Why short-term benefits could be emphasised if zero-based budgets are mostly used for large long-term projects?

    It should not be true for the reason you state, however it ‘could’ be true because it is used as part of the short-term budgeting exercise and long-term effects may not be given as much attention as they should.
