  1. Q1.A guaranteed maximum price contract closes out on the figures below, and the contract shares any saving against the ceiling.

    ItemAmountGuaranteed maximum price$10,000,000Audited cost of the work$8,650,000Contractor’s fee$750,000Contractor’s share of savings25%\begin{array}{l|c} \hline \textbf{Item} & \textbf{Amount} \\ \hline \text{Guaranteed maximum price} & \$10{,}000{,}000 \\ \text{Audited cost of the work} & \$8{,}650{,}000 \\ \text{Contractor's fee} & \$750{,}000 \\ \text{Contractor's share of savings} & 25\% \\ \hline \end{array}

    What total amount is payable to the contractor?

    • A.$9,400,000\$9{,}400{,}000
    • B.$9,550,000\$9{,}550{,}000✓ Correct answer
    • C.$9,850,000\$9{,}850{,}000
    • D.$10,000,000\$10{,}000{,}000

    Explanation

    The saving is what the ceiling exceeds the contractor's actual entitlement, so cost and fee are added before anything is shared:

    E=C+FE = C + F

    E=8,650,000+750,000=$9,400,000E = 8{,}650{,}000 + 750{,}000 = \$9{,}400{,}000

    The saving against the ceiling then follows, and the contractor takes its stated share:

    S=GMPE=10,000,0009,400,000=$600,000S = GMP - E = 10{,}000{,}000 - 9{,}400{,}000 = \$600{,}000

    P=E+0.25S=9,400,000+150,000=$9,550,000P = E + 0.25S = 9{,}400{,}000 + 150{,}000 = \$9{,}550{,}000

    The $9,400,000\$9{,}400{,}000 option stops at cost and fee and forgets the share, and $9,850,000\$9{,}850{,}000 awards the contractor 75%75\% of the saving, reversing the split.
