In a fixed lump sum contract, this pricing mechanism doesn't allow for any changes in price. Is this statement TRUE?

Glitter Kitten Ltd is a leading manufacturer of cat food and is currently looking into expanding its operations into new markets. The CEO has committed to providing the funds for expansion and he has commissioned a financial appraisal of two different options. The Senior Leadership team are currently reviewing the Net Present Values of each option.

The CEO is getting frustrated with the length of time the Senior Leadership are taking in their appraisals so has done a quick analysis using the payback method. The second option, to expand into making dog food, produced the best results, which are based on an estimated total outflow of £50m and annual inflows of £10m.

The CEO is also looking into methods for improving current products. He has assembled a Project Team of researchers who is looking into their current range of cat food, taking particular notice of customer opinions and reviews. The goal is to, based on this research, investigate opportunities within the supply chain to enhance the quality of the product, as well as potentially reducing the costs of manufacturing.

Raw materials for Glitter Kitten’s most popular cat food will soon be provided by Paw Ltd who is a new supplier. The contract is still under negotiation and is expected to last for the next 3 years. The CEO is keen to have visibility over Paw Ltd’s costs and profit margin.
