Contractor B is said to be unable to control the costs. On the other hand, it could be the natural consequence of industry-wide or macroeconomics difficulties beyond the control of a company’s management. The impact of both revenue and costs leads to the decrease of the GPM. It maybe the increase of cost such as raw materials and labour cost and also because of the poor pricing leads to a lower expected profit. 

Thus, contractor B will be awarded with 0 stars and it is not a good choice for the client because they have a poor performance.
