THE AMOUNT OF THE PERFORMANCE BONUS DECREASES BY 10% PER WEEK FOR EVERY WEEK BEYOND THE AGREED-UPON COMPLETION DATE. THE CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS ARE SIMILAR TO CONTRACTS THAT AJD BUILDERS HAS PERFORMED PREVIOUSLY, AND MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT SUCH EXPERIENCE IS PREDICTIVE FOR THIS CONTRACT. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES THAT THERE IS A 60% PROBABILITY THAT THE CONTRACT WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE AGREED UPON COMPLETION DATE, A 30% PROBABILITY THAT IT WILL BE COMPLETED ONE WEEK LATE, AND ONLY A 10% PROBABILITY THAT IT WILL BE COMPLETED TWO WEEKS LATE.
REQUIRED: DETERMINE THE PROBABILITY-WEIGHTED AMOUNT FOR THE MANAGEMENT TO DETERMINE THE TRANSACTION PRICE.
