For a second unlicensed-contracting conviction governed by B&P section 7028(c), assume no subdivision (d) or (e) application. Contract price and aggregate payments are each $32,000. What is the greatest of 20% of the contract price, 20% of aggregate payments, and $5,000?

Correct Answer

C) $6,400.

20% × $32,000 = $6,400 for each of the equal contract-price and aggregate-payment inputs. Under the stipulated section 7028(c) comparison, $6,400 exceeds $5,000. The other displayed amounts do not equal the required comparison. Do not apply this simplified comparison indiscriminately to third-or-subsequent convictions covered by section 7028(d).
