Chapter 8, Problem 8.3E
Estimating Variable Consideration. King Rat Pest Control, Incorporated was recently hired to exterminate pests in an office complex for $300,000. King Rat will receive an additional $10,000 based on the success of the extermination. The additional $10,000 will be paid in full if the extermination is fully successful after one month. That amount will be decreased to $8,000 if the extermination is successful after two months and further reduced to $5,000 if successful after three months. Based on past experience with similar contracts, King Rat estimates that there is a 20% probability that the process will be successful with the first month, a 75% probability that it will take two months to be successful, and a 5% probability that the process will be effective after three months.
