Overview In delivery application of government subsidy in the construction project of public housing, since the calculation of average floor space of each door was not appropriate, government subsidy \ 2236,000 was excessively issued, and it was considered unreasonable.
Incident The amount of the subsidy shall be calculated by multiplying the support rate and the government subsidy basis amount which was culculated by multiplying the construction no. of houses and the main frame construction cost and ancillary construction expenses of 1 public housing which Minister of Construction determines by each division such as structure, number of floors and standard floor space par door of the housing in every year. Then, in case that average floor space is under the standard floor space, construction expenses par door of the superscription shall be reduced according to the prescribed equation. And, in case of installing bunkers in each door in Hokkaido, the amount calculated by floor spaces of the bunker, etc. can be added to construction expenses par door, but if the average floor space including the bunker is under the standard floor space ( with the bunker ), this addition can not be carried out.
It appeared in check that in delivery application of government subsidy in Wakkanai city, since the house type are 4 types ( 1LDK are 1 type of 4 doors, and 3LDK are 3 types of 4 doors, 2 doors and 2 doors ), the average floor space was calculated at 89.6m2 by dividing the total floor space which is sum of the housing floor space par door and the bunker floor space of each type by 4, although it should have been calculated by dividing the total floor space of all 12 doors by 12.
Then, \ 218000 for bunkers was added to construction expenses par door \ 15300,000, for this average floor space has exceeded the standard floor space ( with the bunker ) 87.1m2, the construction expenses par door of this case business became \ 15518,000, and the government subsidy has been calculated at \ 134195,000 based on this.
In addition, though the floor space of the bunker is already included in the floor space par door of the each every type in the superscription, further this has been added.
Then, when average floor space is rightly calculated, aforesaid 89.6m2 becomes 85.8m2, and it falld below the standard floor space ( with the bunker ).
Therefore, this case business does not correspond to the case in which the bunker addition amount can be appropriated, and the construction expenses par door is reduced according to the prescribed equation, then this case business construction expenses par door should be \ 15153,000 based on these.
Sequence In 1997 and 1998, Hokkaido Wakkanai City constructed public housing of 12 doors ( a middle lamella fireproof structure three story building ) in the Midorigaoka city estate at \ 287,819,086 ( \ 268,390,000 government subsidy basis amount ) operating costs, and government subsidies \ 134,195,000.
The calculation of the delivery amount of the subsidy was not appropriate.
The proper subsidy amount was \ 131959,000, and government subsidies \ 2236,000 was excessively issued, it was considered unreasonable.
Cause It is based on the omission of calculating only the 4 doors to cut corners when they should have calculated sum total floor space on all 12 doors. It seems to be the intentional error, observing two elementary error of floor space calculation method of the 4 doors and double calculation of the bunker.
Countermeasures Ensure the calculation.
Knowledge Comment Not only calculation result but also confirmation of calculation method are also important ! and, don't also use the poor technique.
