A Boca Raton trade cost code shows $18,900 for 350 installed units. What installed unit cost should be reported?

Correct Answer

A) $54.00

Installed unit cost equals total cost divided by installed quantity.

Answer Options
A
$54.00
B
$19,250.00
C
$0.02
D
$62.10

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Installed unit cost equals total cost divided by installed quantity.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: $19,250.00

$19,250.00 is above the supported result for installed unit cost; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option C: $0.02

$0.02 is below the supported result for installed unit cost; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option D: $62.10

$62.10 is above the supported result for installed unit cost; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique

Measure to unit, adjust for cost, then let Engineer Reviews set the finish line.
