Explanation

Zero-base budgeting (ZBB) requires managers to justify their entire budget from zero each周期, enabling comparison of programs based on cost-benefit analysis - making statement 1 correct. ZBB involves agencies periodically re-evaluating all programs and allocating resources based on need rather than historical allocations, making statement 2 correct. Both statements accurately describe ZBB's methodology.
