An IT group within an organization is transforming their virtualized data center to ITaaS. They plan
to implement a chargeback method to appropriately bill the lines of business for the resources
consumed. IT will initially offer a Windows platform for the QA personnel to perform end user
testing on the application developed by the engineering group.
How would they effectively determine the cost of a service instance?

A.
Use the fixed costs and variable costs associated with the service, then factor in the number of
service instances that the infrastructure resources can support.

B.
Use the price that is used by a competitive CSP as a baseline. Factor in variable administrative
costs, and then divide by the number of planned service instances.

C.
Use the cost of the hardware, software, and licensing. Add in growth, then factor in the number
of VMs that the hypervisors can support.

D.
Use the Windows license cost and growth requirements, then factor in the number of service
instances that can be supported.
