<h3><u>Changes considered to reduce the cost of the project: </u></h3>

Cost Estimates of a Residential Design have the following elements:

1) Quantity Takeoff

2) Labor Hours

3) Labor Rates

4) Material Prices

5) Equipment Costs

6) Subcontractor Quotes

7) Indirect Costs

8) Profit Margin

Quantity Takeoff is the very basic element required in Residential Building. Labor hours and rates depends on the location, work difficulty, market value, and other extrinsic factors. Material prices and Subcontractor Quotes again depends on location, supply and demand. Equipment Costs depends on the location, place of purchase, transportation cost, size of equipment, etc. Indirect costs are overheads for labor and contractors.

As we can check the above elements, we cannot change Quantity takeoff, as no one wants to compromise in the quality. However, we can try to slightly negotiate with Labor rates and Subcontractor Quotes. Again, as mentioned the budget is significantly high, so we need to work on reducing 2 costs, which are Equipment Costs and Material Prices.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

B) rent seeking behavior

Explanation:

Rent seeking behavior refers to actions carried out by businesses that try to seek benefits through government policies. In other words, the businesses will try to make the government give them some type of special treatment or special benefit at the expense of the general population.

In this case, the American winemakers were able to convince government officials to only serve domestic wine at government events. The problem is that the general population (taxpayers) are the ones that pay for that wine. American winemakers will benefit at the expense of the taxpayers.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

8000$

Explanation:

The Income Statement is one of an organization's centre budget summaries that show their benefit and losses. Revidup should report 8000$ as a cost on its income statement. The expense of the sum sold must be accounted for in the income statement whether the payment is in advance or if the amount of money is made later. The reason to report 8000$ is that, it is the cost of the amount sold and it is compulsory to report it as an expense in income statement.
