In a cost-plus contract with a 12% fee, the contractor incurs $450,000 in allowable costs and $25,000 in non-allowable costs. What is the contractor's total compensation?

Correct Answer

D) $507,000

Total compensation = Allowable costs + Fee on allowable costs = $450,000 + ($450,000 × 12%) = $450,000 + $54,000 = $504,000. Non-allowable costs are not reimbursed and don't earn fee.
