Corporate Financial Officer: The proposal for our firm’s new office building is unnecessarily extravagant, overly spacious, and ridiculously expensive. The absolute maximum budget for this project is $9 million.
Building Contractor: Our architects have redrawn the blueprints to remove the atrium and sculpture garden, and our landscape artists have reduced the complexity of the surrounding gardens. We will now be able to complete the project at one-tenth the original estimated cost.
Which of the following, if true, most undermines the soundness of the contractor’s proposal to complete the project at a fraction of the original cost?
(A)The original estimated cost of the project was $100 million. (OA)
(B)The contracting firm was originally hired based on the originality of its atrium design.
(C)Corporate officers have already paid a deposit of $2 million.
(D)The firm expects to hire 100 new employees by the time the building project is completed.
(E)Architects working on the revised plans did not discard all expensive elements.
How do you approach such 2 argument flaw questions using the e-gmat flaw framework.
My analysis: From the arg of Bcontractor: Assumption made for his conc to hold true is most(>= 90%) of expense pertains to atrium and gardens. Hence by cutting out such expenses he can reduce the final cost to 1/10th the estimated orig cost
Now how should one use this info with regards to what is mentioned in Corporate off arg 1?
I am asking if any structured process exists to tackle such type of flaw Qs
