Which of these activates contingency response?
-
Risk response
-
Risk prompt
-
Risk activation
-
Risk trigger
Correct Answer
A. Risk triggerExplanation
A risk trigger is an event or condition that indicates the need to activate a contingency response. It serves as a signal that a risk has occurred or is about to occur, prompting the implementation of predefined actions to mitigate its impact. Therefore, a risk trigger is the correct choice as it directly activates the contingency response. Risk response, risk prompt, and risk activation do not specifically imply the initiation of contingency measures in the same way as a risk trigger does.Rate this question:

Are fixed price plus incentive contracts riskier than cost plus fixed fee contract?
-
Always true
-
True, but not always
-
Completely false
-
Depends on the contract
Correct Answer
A. Always trueExplanation
Fixed price plus incentive contracts are riskier than cost plus fixed fee contracts because they involve a higher level of uncertainty and potential financial loss for the contractor. In fixed price plus incentive contracts, the contractor's profit is directly tied to meeting certain performance targets or achieving specific outcomes. If the contractor fails to meet these targets, they may not receive the full incentive payment and could potentially incur financial penalties. On the other hand, cost plus fixed fee contracts provide more financial security for the contractor as they are reimbursed for their costs and receive a fixed fee regardless of the project's outcome. Therefore, it can be concluded that fixed price plus incentive contracts are riskier than cost plus fixed fee contracts.Rate this question:
