Explanation:

Revised Estimate Requirement

A revised estimate is required to be prepared if the sanctioned estimate exceeds a certain percentage of the original approved estimate. This ensures proper financial monitoring and control over the project budget.

Analyzing the Given Options

  1. Option 1: 0.02 (Incorrect)

    • Exceeding the estimate by 2% is too small to require a revised estimate as minor deviations can be adjusted without revision.

  2. Option 2: 0.05 (Correct)

    • Exceeding the estimate by 5% is considered significant enough to warrant a revised estimate. This allows for accurate representation of financial changes.

    • It ensures proper authorization and accountability for the increased budget.

  3. Option 3: 0.08 (Incorrect)

    • Waiting until the estimate exceeds 8% might delay corrective actions and lead to inefficiencies in project execution.

  4. Option 4: 0.1 (Incorrect)

    • Exceeding the estimate by 10% is too high and may result in significant financial risks.

    • Revising the estimate earlier (at 5%) helps prevent such risks and ensures better financial control.
