A Palm Springs startup expects its first bonded job to require a $480,000 bond at 1.2%. What bond premium should be budgeted?

Correct Answer

B) $5,760.00

Bond premium budget equals bond amount multiplied by the rate.

Answer Options
A
$576.00 risk setup folder
B
$5,760.00
C
$485,760.00 operations startup note
D
$2,880.00 startup control file

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Bond premium budget equals bond amount multiplied by the rate.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: $576.00 risk setup folder

$576.00 risk setup folder is below the supported result for bond premium budget; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.

Option C: $485,760.00 operations startup note

$485,760.00 operations startup note is above the supported result for bond premium budget; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Option D: $2,880.00 startup control file

$2,880.00 startup control file is below the supported result for bond premium budget; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.
