A contractor wants to add a C-36 plumbing classification to their existing C-15 flooring license. The additional classification fee is:
Correct Answer
D) $75
B&P Code Section 7137 establishes that additional classification fees are $75 for each new classification added to an existing license.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under B&P Code Section 7137, the fee for adding each additional classification to an existing contractor's license is $75. This applies regardless of which classification is being added.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $150
$150 is incorrect. This is double the actual fee. No B&P Code provision sets the additional classification fee at $150.
Option B: $300
$300 is incorrect. This is four times the actual fee. This figure may be confused with original license application fees, not the additional classification fee.
Option C: $100
$100 is incorrect. While close, the actual fee under B&P Code Section 7137 is $75 per additional classification, not $100.
Memory Technique
Think '75 cents on the dollar' — adding a classification is a fraction of the original cost. The number 75 = 7 + 5 = 12, and C-12 is a contractor class, helping you remember this is a contractor fee.
