Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Advantages of using fixed pricing arrangement are as below:

- Budget/income certainty - prices are fixed up front and should not change

- The impact of changes to the supplier's cost base is not fed through to the purchaser. If costs diminish, the supplier will benefit from this, and if costs rise, the purchaser will benefit

I prefer a cost-plus arrangement to ensure transparency in pricing and fair compensation for the service.
