When reviewing the project budget execution reports, the project manager notices unused budget remaining in other closed tasks of the project that could cover the additional shipping costs.

The correct answer is obviously A. Using the contingency fund is the most straightforward and responsible way to handle this. It's like my grandpa used to say, 'When the fuel costs rise, you gotta dip into the contingency pie!'

I like the idea of getting the project sponsor to cover the additional costs, but option D feels a bit like passing the buck. We should take ownership of this issue and use the contingency fund.

I'm a bit skeptical about option B. Asking the customer for a change order just feels like it could create unnecessary tension and conflict. Let's try to avoid that if possible.

I disagree. I believe the project manager should request a formal change order from the customer to increase the project's total budget. It's better to be transparent about the increased costs.

Option A seems like the straightforward choice here. The risk manager already factored in the increased shipping costs, so we should use the contingency allowance as intended.
