3. Remember James' question?
=========================================

Hi Diane, We are a mechanical contractor in FL. We are in
process of a large project on a government base. We've
expended a huge amount of funds due to government
delays. We've heard that there is a form where you can
calculate overhead costs,etc. for delays of these kinds.
I've looked for weeks, and have come up with nothing. Do
you know of a form like this? Please let me know what kind
of form it is, and where I can get it.
Thanks - James

=====

Thank you to Wayne Costa for the following formula:

In reply to James the Mech. Contractor, use the Eichlay Formula
which works to the Contractor's advantage as follows:

Contractor's total
billings during the
period of performance

X Total overhead
incurred during
period of performance

= Overhead
allocated to
the Contract

Overhead Allocated to
the Contract
-------divided by--------
Number of days during
the period of performance

= Overhead allocable to the Contract per day

Overhead allocable to
the Contract per day

X Number of days
of Delay

= UNABSORBED
OVERHEAD

The above formula has been recognized by the government.

THNX WJC

Thank you Wayne!

=========================================

Free Coffeemaker

** Free high-quality 10-cup coffee maker. For $10, you get two 1/2
pound packages of gourmet coffee (select from 17 different flavors);
a 10-cup coffee maker; bonus of four coffee mugs that match the
coffee maker; and free shipping! Several of my subscribers have
availed themselves of the offer. Others took this offer a couple years
ago and are writing me to tell me that their coffee makers are still
working! Even if you do not drink coffee, you might still consider picking
up this offer as it is a terrific and valuable (yet inexpensive) gift to give
to a coffee lover (especially with all the flavors they have!).
