You are running a project for a customer based on a cost-reimbursable contract with the following terms:
 
Target costs:   $ 1,000,000
Fixed fee: $100,000
Benefit/cost sharing:80% / 20%
Price ceiling:$ 1,200,000

Which is the PTA (= point of total assumption, break point) of the project?
 

$1,300,000
$1,500,000
$80,000
$1,125,000


For cost reimbursable contract, Point of Total Assumption (also referred to as break point) is calculated by the following formula: PTA = [{(Ceiling Price - (Target Cost+Fixed fee))/Benefit Sharing} + Target Cost]

Example: target Cost = 1,000,000; Fixed Fee = 100,000; benefit/cost sharing = 80%/20%; Price ceiling = 1,200,000

PTA = {(1,200,000 - (1,000,000+100,000))/0.80}+1,000,000 = 1,125,000
