[Tab 1: Municipal Resilience Grant Policy (2026 Directive)]

Regional Infrastructure Authority Guidelines:
- Standard Eligibility: A municipal project is eligible for a base grant equal to 40% of its projected cost if it has a Resilience Index of at least 70 (out of 100) AND serves a target population of at least 50,000 residents.
- High-Impact Bonus: Projects that meet standard eligibility AND serve a target population exceeding 100,000 residents receive an additional 10% bonus grant (total grant of 50% of projected cost).
- High Flood Risk Exception: Any project located in a designated High Flood Risk zone has its Resilience Index requirement reduced to a minimum of 60. However, the maximum total grant funding awarded to any single project under this exception is strictly capped at $2,000,000 regardless of percentage calculations.

[Tab 3: Environmental Audit Memorandum]

Environmental Protection Board Assessment:
- Zone R1: Classified as Low Flood Risk.
- Zone R2: Classified as High Flood Risk due to coastal storm surge exposure.
- Zone R3: Classified as Moderate Flood Risk.
- Special Variance Note: No population threshold exceptions or policy variances were approved for any project in the 2026 funding cycle.

Based on the policy guidelines, project application data, and environmental audit memorandum, what is the total dollar amount of grant funding awarded across all four municipal project applications?

  1. A
    $1,800,000
  2. $3,800,000Cevap
  3. C
    $4,800,000
  4. D
    $5,000,000
  5. E
    $6,800,000

Cevap

$3,800,000
Synthesizing data across all three tabs demonstrates that Project Alpha qualifies under the High Flood Risk exception (Zone R2 per Tab 3) for a capped grant of 2,000,000.ProjectBetaqualifiesunderstandardpolicy(ZoneR1perTab3)foragrantof402,000,000. Project Beta qualifies under standard policy (Zone R1 per Tab 3) for a grant of 40% of 4,500,000 = 1,800,000.ProjectsGammaandDeltafaileligibilitycriteria.Totalfundingawardedequals1,800,000. Projects Gamma and Delta fail eligibility criteria. Total funding awarded equals 3,800,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Project Alpha eligibility and grant amount by synthesizing data across Tab 1, Tab 2, and Tab 3.
Project Alpha is in Zone R2 (High Flood Risk per Tab 3). Tab 1 lowers the required Resilience Index from 70 to 60 for High Flood Risk zones. Project Alpha's Resilience Index of 65 satisfies this reduced threshold. Its population of 120,000 (>100,000) would qualify for a 50% grant (3,000,000),butTab1mandatesastrictcapof3,000,000), but Tab 1 mandates a strict cap of 2,000,000 for High Flood Risk exception grants. Thus, Project Alpha receives $2,000,000.
Applying the conditional exception and maximum cap rules specified in Tab 1.
2
Evaluate Project Beta eligibility and grant amount.
Project Beta is in Zone R1 (Low Flood Risk per Tab 3). Standard policy applies. Its Resilience Index of 72 (>=70) and target population of 80,000 (>=50,000) meet standard criteria. It receives 40% of its 4,500,000cost=4,500,000 cost = 1,800,000.
Standard eligibility criteria check for non-high-risk projects.
3
Evaluate Project Gamma and Project Delta eligibility.
Project Gamma (Zone R3, Moderate Flood Risk) has a Resilience Index of 62, which is below the standard threshold of 70 (the reduced 60 threshold applies ONLY to High Flood Risk zones). Thus, Project Gamma receives 0.ProjectDeltahasapopulationof45,000,whichisbelowtheminimumthresholdof50,000(andTab3confirmsnovarianceswereapproved).Thus,ProjectDeltareceives0. Project Delta has a population of 45,000, which is below the minimum threshold of 50,000 (and Tab 3 confirms no variances were approved). Thus, Project Delta receives 0.
Checking standard rule compliance and boundary conditions.
4
Calculate the total grant funding awarded.
2,000,000(ProjectAlpha)+2,000,000 (Project Alpha) + 1,800,000 (Project Beta) = $3,800,000.
Summing approved funding across all four applications.
