Which of the following should be used in a contract for window cleaning during the next three months?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Advantages of using fixed pricing arrangement are as below:

- Budget/income certainty - prices are fixed up front and should not change

- The impact of changes to the supplier's cost base is not fed through to the purchaser. If costs diminish, the supplier will benefit from this, and if costs rise, the purchaser will benefit


LO 3, AC 3.3

What, no 'cost per window' option? That's the only way I'm getting this contract. I need to know exactly how many windows I'm cleaning to pad my invoice properly!

Cost-plus (D) is the way to go! Who doesn't love a blank check? Just kidding, that's probably not the best idea for a window cleaning contract.

The standard schedule of rates (C) makes the most sense to me. It's a fair and transparent way to handle the pricing.

Variable pricing (A) seems too risky. You never know what the costs might end up being. Give me that good old-fashioned fixed rate anytime!

I prefer a cost-plus arrangement to ensure transparency in pricing and fair compensation for the service.
