To implement this functionality, you have to override Fedex.php from /app/code/core/Mage/Usa/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Fedex.php.

To override Fedex.php.Just place Fedex.php file with same folder structure inside local folder.
/app/code/local/Mage/Usa/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Fedex.php.

To add extra shipping charge, update _prepareRateResponse() function.

inside foreach ....

foreach ($priceArr as $method=>$price){..

Update these code to

if($method != "FEDEX_GROUND")               
     $rate->setPrice($price*$extraPrice);           
else
     $rate->setPrice($price);

Thanks.Hope it helps.
