A unit-price change adds 68 square feet of siding repair at $47 per square foot. What amount should be added?

Correct Answer

A) $3,196.

The added amount is quantity times unit price: 68 x $47 = $3,196.

Answer Options
A
$3,196.
B
$2,996 total.
C
$3,244 total.
D
$3,420 total.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The added amount is quantity times unit price: 68 x $47 = $3,196.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: $2,996 total.

$2,996 total. is below the supported result for unit price change calculation; it likely omits part of the approved scope, cap, credit, or holdback.

Option C: $3,244 total.

$3,244 total. is above the supported result for unit price change calculation; it likely adds scope or money the rule does not allow.

Option D: $3,420 total.

$3,420 total. is above the supported result for unit price change calculation; it likely adds scope or money the rule does not allow.

Memory Technique

Checking Signed contract math: approved scope is the ruler for unit price change.

Reference Hint

Study anchor (closed-book): memorize Unit price change calculation from CSLB 2026 Law Book; CSLB Home Improvement Contracts / B&P Code Section 7159 written change order requirements; know the rule or calculation trigger without relying on exam-room lookup.
