A quote has $520 labor and $560 materials. How far above the $1,000 minor-work threshold is the aggregate price?

Correct Answer

D) $80.

The aggregate price is $1,080, which is $80 above $1,000.

Answer Options
A
$20.
B
$40.
C
$60.
D
$80.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The aggregate price is $1,080, which is $80 above $1,000.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: $20.

$20. is below the supported result for minor work exemption; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option B: $40.

$40. is below the supported result for minor work exemption; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option C: $60.

$60. is below the supported result for minor work exemption; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Memory Technique

Measure to aggregate, adjust for price, then let Checking Minor-Work set the finish line.

Reference Hint

Study anchor (closed-book): memorize Minor work exemption from CSLB licensing guidance; CSLB 2026 Law Book; California Business and. / Business and Professions Code Section 7048; know the rule or calculation trigger without relying on exam-room lookup.
