- No, the total should be $207,350 (Correct answer)
- No, the total should be $209,350
Correct answer: No, the total should be $207,350
45,200 + 52,100 + 48,750 + 61,300 = $207,350, not $208,350 as stated.

Correct answer: 3047 Pine Road, Unit 12A / 3047 Pine Road, Unit 12B
The last pair differs in the unit suffix: 'Unit 12A' vs. 'Unit 12B.'

- 40.5 hours (correct as listed)
- 39.5 hours
- 40.0 hours (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 40.0 hours
8.5 + 7.75 + 9.0 + 8.25 + 6.5 = 40.0 hours, not 40.5 as recorded.

- AG-006
- AH-007
- AG-007 (Correct answer)

AG should pair with 006 following the sequential pattern; AG-007 skips a number and assigns 007 to the wrong letter code.

November has only 30 days, so November 31 does not exist on any calendar.
