What is the total square footage used in the interior design fee calculation for Community Space and the unit interiors?

• A. 5,750 sf
• B. 5,600 sf
• C. 5,900 sf
• D. 6,000 sf

Answer: (A)

Interior design fees are based on the interior spaces included in the scope, not the total building area. To determine the fee basis here, you take the interior portions defined for Community Space and for unit interiors and sum their square footage. The two interior areas given in the scenario add up to 5,750 square feet, so that is the total used for the interior-design-fee calculation. This is the correct basis because it reflects only the spaces the interior designer is responsible for. Including exterior areas or other spaces outside the interior scope would change the total and lead to other options.
