A general contractor is managing a construction project that will add a new conference room to an existing office building. The

project was documented in a fixed-price contract that specified a completion date. The contract includes a damages clause imposing a late completion penalty if the conference room is not ready for use by the due date. One month into the implementation, the customer wants to modify the room's lighting equipment. The requested change will delay the project's critical path by three months.

Answer:

A) Using a change management system to influence performance

Explanation:

First of all, since the change was proposed by the customer, any delay in the construction project caused by their new request should not trigger the damage clause.

The contractor should use a change management system so the existing baseline is not altered by the delay. A change management system is responsible for managing all the changes that might occur during the project's inception until its completion. It is important that all changes or alterations to the original schedule are properly recorded and authorized (in this case to prevent the damage clause).

By using the change management system, the organization has a standardized methodology for handling changes in the project's schedule. This way any negative impact can be reduced.

Answer:

An adjustment to retained earnings is necessary when when there is a change from LIFO to FIFO.

Calculating the effect on retained earnings:

- In the year 1 company followed LIFO and recorded ending inventory at $177500. Had it followed FIFO it would have recorded at $195000. So there would be increase in income of $17500 (195000 - 177500).

- In year 2 it followed LIFO and recorded opening inventory at $177500 and closing inventory at $355000 and thereby recording Net closing stock of $177500 (355000 - 177500). Had it followed FIFO it would have recorded a net stock of $195000.(390000-195000). So there would be increase in income by of $17500 (195000 - 177500).

So in total of 2 years there would be an increase of $35000 Net income i.e., Retained earnings and increase in stock value of $35000.
