The reasonableness of the proposed profit or fee. Although the technical team should not be asked to develop a remended profit or fee, it can render an opinion on the inherent technical, management, and cost risk they perceive in the work as well as an opinion on the degree to which the supplier is willing to assume that risk. Generally, higher cost estimates (padding of cost, either in quantity or rates) evidence an unwillingness by the supplier to assume risk. . 169。AMERICAN CERTIFICATION INSTITUTE, 20xx Accounting/Rate Analysis Proposed Overhead and Gamp。AMERICAN CERTIFICATION INSTITUTE, 20xx Profit/Fee Analysis Profit/Fee should bear a close relationship to the technical, management, and cost risk of the work and the degree to which the supplier is willing to assume that risk. Generally, higher cost estimates (padding of cost, either in quantity or rates) evidence an unwillingness by the supplier to assume risk. In addition to considering risk and the relative difficulty of the job, the contracting professional should consider the size of the job, the period of performance, the amount of investment being made by the supplier in performing the work, the amount of assistance (projectprovided property and financing) being provided by the project, and the amount of subcontracting involved. 169。AMERICAN CERTIFICATION INSTITUTE, 20xx Summary/Conclusions Some form of price analysis is required for every purchase. Although this is true, price analysis takes on special importance when employed by itself. Price analysis is generally used without cost analysis for low dollar purchases。AMERICAN CERTIFICATION INSTITUTE, 20xx Summary/Conclusions To perform price analysis, the contracting professional must have a base or reference to which the quoted price can be pared. That basis for parison must itself be known to be reasonable. To establish parability one must consider the quality of the items for which prices are being pared。AMERICAN CERTIFICATION INSTITUTE, 20xx Summary/Conclusions Many methods of price analysis are available. Selection of the method to use depends on the specific features of the acquisition situation. In many instances, a bination of methods is best. Price analytical methods include parison with peting offers on the instant purchase。 parison with current prices paid for the same or similar items, past prices paid for the same or similar requirement, and past offers. 169。 and parison with values determined by value and visual analysis. The first four methods listed are sometimes considered primary methods。 projection of the offer
