A public work contract is $1,001. How far above the $1,000 prevailing-wage threshold is it?

Correct Answer

A) $1 above.

A $1,001 contract is one dollar above the $1,000 threshold.

Answer Options
A
$1 above.
B
$0 above.
C
$100 above.
D
$1,001 above.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

A $1,001 contract is one dollar above the $1,000 threshold.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: $0 above.

$0 above. is below the supported result for prevailing wage threshold; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.

Option C: $100 above.

$100 above. is above the supported result for prevailing wage threshold; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Option D: $1,001 above.

$1,001 above. is above the supported result for prevailing wage threshold; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Memory Technique

Prevailing Wage ladder for Checking Small: hours climb before dollars add up.

Reference Hint
