Question

You have agreed to paint your neighbor's house a lovely shade of chartreuse for $1500 and discover much to your dismay that the house has a second floor. Now you're faced with the prospect of buying a ladder or scaffolding or a really long handled brush, not to mention the 15 more gallons of paint that will be needed to cover. You won't get another penny for what will surely be increased efforts since your neighbor transferred risk with a(n):

Cost-plus contract.
Contingency reserve.
Inflation clause.
Fixed price contract.

Answer 1

fixed price contract

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the neighbor most likely transferred risk with a fixed price contract. This refers to a contract that whose price is fixed at a set amount which does not depend on resources or time spent to complete the contract. Therefore it does not matter how much time or money the painter has to spend on tools, he must complete by the terms of the contract for the $1500 that were agreed upon.
