CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 282

Which of the following contract types would be most beneficial to both parties in cases in which the scope of the project has a large number of unknowns?

Answer options

• A. Variable costs
• B. Fixed costs
• C. Front-loaded
• D. Time and materials

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Time and materials contract is ideal for projects with many unknowns because it allows for flexibility in pricing based on the actual time spent and materials used. Fixed costs and front-loaded contracts do not accommodate changes well, and variable costs could lead to unpredictability in budgeting.
