Which term describes billed different rates for the same resource shown when volume discounts and sustained use discounts are in play?

• A. Blended rates
• B. Covered usage
• C. Coverable usage
• D. Unblended rates

Answer: (D)

When discounts affect pricing, you can see different per-unit charges for the same resource. This reflects the actual prices applied to each usage unit before averaging. That per-unit view is called unblended rates. It shows the true, resource-specific price after discounts like volume discounts and sustained use discounts are applied. Blended rates, by contrast, average all usage in a project into one rate, which hides these per-resource differences. So the term describing billed different rates for the same resource under these discounts is unblended rates.
