In a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract, a buyer and a seller agreed on a target cost of $7,000, and a fixed fee of $1,000. Any cost overruns or underruns will be shared between the buyer and the seller by 50% and 50%, respectively. When the actual cost of $8,000 is incurred, how much will the supplier get paid in total?
The buyer pays: actual cost + fixed fee + seller’s share ratio * (target cost - actual cost)
The buyer pays = $8,000 + $1000 + 50% * ($7,000 - $8,000)
= $8000 + $1000 - $500
= 8500 supplier pay = fixed fee + incentive bonus
= $1000 + (-$500)
= $500
