What is the itemized fee for interior design services?

• A. $172,500
• B. $189,750
• C. $200,000
• D. $161,250

Answer: (B)

Itemized interior design fee represents the portion of the project fee that goes to interior design work, calculated as a percentage of the defined base for the project (often the construction cost). This means you take the interior design percentage and multiply it by the base amount to get the fee dedicated to interior design services. In this problem, applying the given interior design percentage to the project’s construction cost yields 189,750, which matches the correct option. The other numbers would require a different base or percentage, which isn’t indicated by the problem’s data.
