A murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought. This state of mind may, depending upon the jurisdiction, distinguish murder from other forms of unlawful homicide, such as manslaughter.
What Is Cost Overrun? â Cost Overrun is the amount by which a contractor exceeds or expects to exceed the estimated costs, and/or the final limitations (the ceiling) of a contract.
Government contracts use cost incentives to limit financial risk. With this type of incentive, the government and the contractor agree on a share ratio of any cost overrun or cost underrun. In the case of a 50/50 share ratio, the government and the contractor would evenly split the cost of an overrun, with the contractor's share coming out of its profit on the contract.
