Question 140
A coordinator asks one worker for current list price and another for contract-specific negotiated price. They report different amounts. What is the sound synthesis?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Different scopes can legitimately produce different numbers. Coordinated synthesis must align source, customer and time rather than pick an arbitrary winner.
Incorrect Answers
Averages are not contractual commitments. They invent an unverified price.
Without provenance the client cannot verify which price governs. Retaining evidence is essential.
A favorable value may not apply to the customer. Eligibility and effective terms decide which price is valid.
