2014 Cost Engineer "Case Analysis" Examination Mock Test Questions (1)

Background:

A certain project adopts public bidding, and the tenderer announced on March 1 The bidding announcement was published on the designated media, and the bidding documents were sold from March 6 to March 12. Four bidders, A, B, C, and D, purchased the bidding documents.

Before the bidding deadline (April 5) specified in the bidding documents, all four bidders submitted their bidding documents. During the bid opening, Bidder D was declared invalid by the bidding management agency because the signer of the bid document did not have a power of attorney from his legal representative.

The project bid evaluation committee determined Bidder A as the winning bidder after evaluation on April 15, and issued a bid winning notice and a bid winning result notification to the winning bidder and other bidders respectively on April 26. The tenderer was notified at the same time.

During the construction process, the following delays occurred on key lines of the project:

(1) Due to the contractor’s reasons, a new line was added after the design change. The project was constructed from July 28 to August 7 (the additional project payment was 1.6 million yuan); the delay in the drawings of another sub-project caused the contractor to stop work from August 27 to September 12.

(2) Due to the contractor's reasons, the construction machinery originally planned to arrive on the scene on the morning of August 5 did not arrive until the morning of August 26.

(3) Due to weather reasons, high temperatures for many consecutive days caused power supply shortages. The area where the project is located experienced a power outage from August 3 to August 5. In addition, the area experienced a power outage from the morning of August 24 to 8 It rained heavily on the evening of January 28th.

After the above-mentioned construction delay event occurred, Contractor A filed a claim for compensation against the employer in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the contract. After consensus reached by both parties, except for construction delays caused by heavy rainstorms, for other construction delay events that should be compensated, both direct costs and indirect costs will be compensated. Indirect cost compensation is calculated based on the average indirect costs shared every day during the contract construction period.

Questions:

1. Point out the deficiencies in the bidding process of the project and explain the reasons.

2. How many days is the actual construction delay of the project? How many days should the extension of the previous period be approved? Explain the extension time that should be approved for each construction delay event and the reasons.

3. How much indirect costs should be compensated for the delay in drawings?

Answer to question 4: (20 points)

Question 1

If it is inappropriate for the bidding management agency to declare invalid, it should be announced by the tenderer. If it is inappropriate for the evaluation committee to determine the winning bidder and issue a bid winning notice and a notification of the winning result, it should be issued by the bidding committee.

Question 2

The actual construction delay of this project is 47 days and the extension of the construction period should be approved to 32 days. Among them, the new construction is the responsibility of the owner, and the extension of the construction period should be approved for 11 days (July 28 to August 7);

The delay in the drawings is the responsibility of the owner, and the extension of the construction period should be approved 15 days (August 29 to September 12);

Power outage is the responsibility of the owner and should be approved to extend the construction period for 3 days

Delay of construction machinery is not the responsibility of the contractor Approval to extend the construction period

Delays caused by heavy rainstorms are within the scope of risks that the owner should bear, but August 24-25 was a delay due to the failure of the contractor's machinery to arrive at the site. No compensation will be granted and the extension of the construction period should be approved 3 days (August 26 to August 28)

Question 3

So, the daily indirect cost in the contract price is: 708.98/300=2.36 (10,000 yuan/day) < /p>

The indirect cost to be compensated for the delay in drawings is: 15×2.36=35.40 (ten thousand yuan)

Question 4

Solution: The planned unilateral labor cost is: 50 ÷(8×1.5)=4.17(yuan/㎡)

The actual unilateral labor cost is: (510)÷{7×(1-10%)×1.5}=6.35(yuan/ ㎡)

Then, the increase in unilateral labor costs is: 6.35-4.17=2.18 (yuan/㎡)

The total price of a construction and installation project construction contract is 60 million yuan, and the contract duration is 6 months, the contract was signed in early January, and construction began in February of that year.

1. Contract stipulations:

(1) The advance payment shall be 20% of the contract price, and the cumulative payment of project progress payment shall reach 40% of the total construction contract price from the next month until completion. Average rebate for each month.

(2) Withhold 10% of each project payment as a withholding quality deposit, half of which will be returned to the contractor upon completion and settlement.

(3) For every day the construction period is advanced, there will be a reward of RMB 10,000, and for every day the construction period is delayed, there will be a fine of RMB 20,000.

(4) The contract stipulates that when the price of labor or materials increases by 5% or more than when the contract was signed, the contract price shall be adjusted according to the following formula:

P=Po*(0.15A /Ao+0.6B/Bo+0.25)

Among them, 0.15 is the proportion of labor cost in the total contract price, and 0.60 is the proportion of material cost in the total contract price.

If the increase in labor or materials is <5%, no adjustment will be made, and no adjustment will be made in other circumstances.

(5) The contract stipulates that the compensation for idle labor that is not the contractor’s responsibility is 800 yuan/day, and the compensation for idle machinery is 600 yuan/day.

2. The project started as scheduled. The actual monthly contract output value of the project is shown in Table 2.4.

3. During the construction process, a temporary shutdown occurred on a key working surface due to several reasons:

(1) May 10 From May 16th to May 16th, the contractor's construction equipment experienced an unprecedented failure;

(2) The follow-up drawings that should be submitted to the contractor on May 14th were not submitted until June 1st To the contractor;

(3) From May 28 to June 3, a rare heavy rainstorm occurred at the construction site, causing power outage in the area from June 1 to June 5. Total disruption.

(4) In order to meet the construction deadline, the construction unit took measures to meet the deadline, and the cost of the measures was 50,000 yuan.

4. The actual construction period was completed 10 days ahead of the contract period.

Questions:

1. How much is the advance payment for this project? What is the starting point for deduction of advance payment? From which month does the deduction start?

2. Construction How much construction period can the unit claim for? How much expense can it claim?

3. How much is the actual project payment payable every month?

4. How much is the advance bonus for the construction period? It should be paid when the project is completed and settled. How many thousand yuan does the contractor cost?

Reference answer:

Question 1:

Solution:

(1) The advance payment for the project is 6000×20%=12 million yuan

(2) The starting deduction point is 6000×40%=24 million yuan

Question 2:

Solution: < /p>

(1) Equipment failure occurring from May 10 to May 16 is a risk borne by the contractor and cannot be claimed;

(2) From May 17 to May On March 31st, it was caused by the owner’s late submission of drawings. It was a risk that the owner should bear. The construction period was 15 days, and the cost claim amount = 15×80600×15=21,000 yuan

(3)6 The extremely heavy rainstorm from June 1st to June 3rd is a risk shared by both parties. The construction period is claimed for 3 days, but the cost claim should not be considered.

(4) The power outage from June 4th to June 5th is a natural condition that cannot be foreseen by experienced contractors. The owner should bear the risk. The construction period can be claimed for 2 days, and the cost claim amount = ( 80600)×2=0.28 million yuan.

(5) The cost of rush measures cannot be claimed.

To sum up, the claimable construction period is 20 days and the claimable expense is 23,800 yuan.

Question 3:

Solution:

February: The contract price is 10 million yuan, and the quality deposit is withheld 1000×10%=1 million yuan

p>

Project payment of 10 million yuan × 90% = 9 million yuan

A total of 9 million yuan of project payment has been paid, and a total of 1 million yuan of quality guarantee deposit has been withheld

March : The completed contract price is 12 million yuan, and the quality guarantee deposit is withheld 1200×10%=1.2 million yuan

The project payment is 12 million yuan×90%=10.8 million yuan

Total payment for the project The payment is 901080=19.8 million yuan, and the cumulative withheld quality deposit is 10120=2.2 million yuan

April: The completed contract price is 12 million yuan, and the withheld quality deposit is 1200×10%=1.2 million yuan

The project payment was 12 million yuan × 90% = 10.8 million yuan

The total project payment was 1980 + 1080 = 30.6 million yuan > 24 million yuan,

Starting from next month, 1200/3=4 million yuan will be deducted as advance payment every month.

The cumulative withholding quality guarantee deposit is 22120=3.4 million yuan.

May: Completed contract price of 12 million yuan Yuan

The price of materials has increased: (140-130)/130* 100%=7.69%>5%, the price should be adjusted.

Adjusted price: 1200 × (0.15+0.16*140/130 +0.25)=12.55 million yuan

The claim amount is 21,000 yuan, and the quality guarantee deposit is withheld (1255+2.1) ×10%=1.2571 million yuan

Project payment (1255+2.1)×90% -400=7.3139 million yuan

The total project payment paid is 306731.39=37.9139 million yuan< /p>

The cumulative withheld quality deposit is 34125.71=4.6571 million yuan

June: The completed contract price is 8 million yuan

The labor price increases: (120-110) /110* 100%=9.09%>5%, the price should be adjusted.

Adjusted price: 800×(0.15*120/110.6+ 0.25)=8.1091 million yuan

The claim amount is 0.28 million yuan, and the quality guarantee deposit is withheld (810.91+0.28) ×10%=811,190 yuan

Project payment (810.91+0.28)×90% -400=6.90071 million yuan

The total project payment paid is 3791.39+690.071=44.81461 million yuan< /p>

The cumulative withholding quality deposit is 465.71+81.119=5.46829 million yuan

July: The completed contract price is 6 million yuan

The withholding quality deposit is 600×10%= 600,000 yuan

Payment of project payment 600×90% -400=1.4 million yuan

Cumulative payment of project payment 4481.461+140=46.21461 million yuan

Cumulative prepayment Quality deposit deducted 546.829+60=6.06829 million yuan

Question 4:

Solution: Early construction bonus: (120)×10000=300,000 yuan

Refund the withheld quality deposit: 606.829÷2=303.415

Payable to the contractor upon completion settlement: 3303.415=3.33415 million yuan

A certain construction and installation project construction contract, total contract price 60 million yuan, the contract period is 6 months, the contract signing date is early January, and construction will begin in February of that year.

(1) Contract provisions

① The advance payment shall be paid at 20% of the contract price. When the advance payment and progress payment reach 40% of the contract price, the advance payment for the project will begin to be deducted. , average monthly deductions starting from the next month.

② The warranty money will be withheld at 5%, starting from the first month, at 10% of the monthly settlement amount until the amount is withheld.

③ If the project is delayed for one day, a reward of 10,000 yuan will be given, and if the project is delayed for one day, a fine of 20,000 yuan will be imposed.

④The contract stipulates that when prices increase by ≥5% compared to when the contract was signed, the actual increase in the price payable for that month will be adjusted according to the following formula:

P=P0×(0.15 A/A0.60B/B0.25)

Among them, 0.15 is the proportion of labor cost in the total contract price, and 0.60 is the proportion of material cost in the total contract price.

No adjustment will be made if a single item rises less than 5%, and no adjustment will be made in other cases.

(2) After the project started as scheduled, during the construction process:

① During the rainy season in April, due to the rainproof measures, the construction unit cost increased by 20,000 yuan; A mechanical failure occurred and maintenance was delayed by 1 day, resulting in a loss of 10,000 yuan.

② In May, due to the power outage of the public network for 2 consecutive days, the work was suspended, causing the construction unit to lose 30,000 yuan.

③In June, due to changes in the owner's design, the construction unit lost 50,000 yuan in rework costs and lost 2 days of construction period. It also stopped work for 15 days to wait for drawings, resulting in a loss of 60,000 yuan in wasted work.

④In order to meet the deadline, the construction unit took measures to meet the deadline and increased the cost of the measures by 50,000 yuan. Not only was the project not delayed, but it was completed 10 days ahead of the contract period.

⑤ Assuming that the above lost construction periods are all on the critical route, the claim expenses can be settled in the current month's payment.

(3) The actual completed output value of the project is shown in Table 6-19 (the claim costs are not included).

(4) The actual cost index for each month is shown in Table 6-20.

　

Questions:

(1) How much construction period can the construction unit claim for? How much does it cost?

(2) Advance payment for the project How much is it? What is the starting deduction point? What is the amount of warranty money?

(3) How much is the actual project payment that should be settled every month?

Reference answer:

< p> Question (1)

① Calculation of construction period claim:

Public power outage for 2 days (not caused by the contractor, it is the risk of the owner);

Rework time 2 days (owner’s reason);

Stop work for 15 days (owner’s reason);

Mechanical maintenance 1 day (contractor’s reason);

Therefore, it can The claim period is 2+2+15=19 (days).

② Cost claim calculation:

Rain protection loss fee of 20,000 yuan (included in the contract);

Public power outage loss of 30,000 yuan (not contracted) Business reasons, owner's risk);

Loss of 50,000 yuan for rework (owner's reason);

Loss of 60,000 yuan for suspension of work pending plans (owner's reason);

Mechanical repair fee 10,000 yuan (contractor’s reason);

Rushing measures cost 50,000 yuan (contractor’s reason);

Therefore, the claimable expense is 3+5+6= 14 (ten thousand yuan).

Question (2)

The advance payment for the project is 6000×20%=1200 (ten thousand yuan);

The starting deduction point is 6000×40%= 2,400 (ten thousand yuan);

The warranty deposit is 6,000×5%=300 (ten thousand yuan).

Question (3)

Actual monthly payment:

February: Actual completion of 1,000 (ten thousand yuan);

Payable 1000×0.9=900 (ten thousand yuan);

Cumulative 1,20900=2,100 (ten thousand yuan)

March: Actual completion of 1,200 (ten thousand yuan);

< p> Payable 1200×0.9=1080 (ten thousand yuan);

Accumulated 2101080=3180 (ten thousand yuan);

April: Actual completion of 1200 (ten thousand yuan);

Should pay 1200-300-(300-1000×0.1-1200×0.1)=820 (10,000 yuan).

May: Actual completion of 1,200 (ten thousand yuan).

The price of materials has increased by 140-130/130×100%=7.69%>5%, and the price should be adjusted.

The adjusted price is: 1200×(0.15+0.6×140/130.25)=1200×1.046=1255 (10,000 yuan);

Actual payment: 1255-30 3=958 (ten thousand yuan).

June: Actual completion of 8 million (10,000 yuan);

Manual increase 120-110/110×100%=9.09%>5%;

Adjustment Final price: 800×(0.15×120/110.6+0.25)=810.91 (ten thousand yuan);

Actual payment: 810.91-3011=521.91 (ten thousand yuan).

July: Actual completion of 6 million (10,000 yuan);

Advance reward for construction period: (119)×10,000=290,000 yuan;

Actual payment : 600-3029=3.29 million yuan.
