Question

You have received a proposal for an RFP that was sent to suppliers. One of the vendors has proposed doing the project for $12,500. The cost for the project is $10,000, and their profit will be $2,500. Which type of contract is most suitable if the type of work is predictable and the requirements are well-defined and not likely to change?

Answer 1

Answer:

FIXED PRICE CONTRACT

Explanation:

The type of contract that is most suitable if the type of work is predictable and the requirements are well-defined and not likely to change is FIXED PRICE CONTRACT because it looks as if the vendor is asking for a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. However, by asking for a fixed $12,500, the vendor is actually asking for a FIXED PRICE CONTRACT. The cost and fee are just the components the vendor has estimated to come up with a final price.
