6y ago#2Sorry for not answering sooner - I was out of the country at the time and I obviously must have accidentally missed your question.
It is a contingent cost. That is because it is a future cost and the amount involved is not certain (it depends (i.e. is contingent) on how much cleaning up ends up being necessary).
Although BPP have put this question in their Revision Kit, I do not think it is actually askable in the exam in this form.
