In a firm-fixed-price contract, the contractor agrees to complete the project for a set price. The contractor's profit is incorporated into the bid (A) by estimating costs (labor, materials, overhead) and adding a desired profit margin. Penalties and incentives (B) are more common in other contract types. Profit is not directly tied to the schedule in this contract type (C), and it is not negotiated separately (D).

Question # 7
Prohibitions on the abuse of drugs apply
A.
only to illegal and prescription drugs, but no other substances.
B.
to any inappropriate use of drugs or other substances that cause impairment.
C.
only to illegal drugs, such as cocaine, crystal meth, and many others like them.
D.
only to using someone else’s prescription or overmedicating with prescription drugs.
Workplace drug and alcohol policies typically prohibit any inappropriate use of drugs or other substances that cause impairment (B), which can include illegal drugs, prescription drugs taken other than as prescribed, over-the-counter medications, alcohol, and even inhalants if they lead to impairment on the job. The prohibition is not limited to illegal and prescription drugs alone (A), only illegal drugs (C), or only misuse of prescription drugs (D), as impairment from any substance can create safety hazards.
