Schedule A of ERV-2026-EC-B sets this lift at $3,500 per 4-week period; line 1 bills $4,000 for the same machine and period.
Next step: Ask the vendor to credit $2,000 on EX-2042 (4 lifts × $500).
Calculationbefore tax
- Line 1: 1 × 4 weeks at $4,000.00 − agreed $3,500.00 = $500.00
- Lines 2–4 (EQ-B602–EQ-B604): the same, $500.00 each
- EX-2042: 4 findings × $500.00 = $2,000.00
- Rate check across the review: EX-2042, RV-1201, RV-1202 = $6,000
Before you act, confirm
- The agreement was in effect for these units with no authorized rate exception.
- No correcting credit has already been issued on a later invoice.
- EQ-B601–EQ-B604 are the equipment named in Schedule A.
