The Tri-County Generation and Transmission Association is a nonprofit cooperative organization that provides
electrical service to rural customers. Based on a faulty long-range demand forecast, Tri-County overbuilt its
generation and distribution system. Tri-County now has much more capacity than it needs to serve its customers.
Fixed costs, mostly debt service on investment in plant and equipment, are $82.1 million per year. Variable costs,
mostly fossil fuel costs, are $22 per megawatt-hour (MWh, or million watts of power used for one hour). The new
person in charge of demand forecasting prepared a short-range forecast for use in next year's budgeting process.
That forecast calls for Tri-County customers to consume 1 million MWh of energy next year.
a. How much will Tri-County need to charge its customers per MWh to break even next year? $. (Enter your
response rounded to the nearest penny.)

Majestic Corporation provides call-center ordering services for Essential Oils magazine. Majestic receives an annual fee of $200,000 for providing such services and is also eligible to receive a performance bonus up to
$65,000 if the average customer wait times are below certain thresholds at the end of the year.
Using historical results as well as current expectations, Majestic estimates the chances of achieving the different performance bonuses as shown in the table here.
Assume there are NO revenue constraints, and the entity uses the expected value approach to record variable consideration when recognizing revenue during the period. Which is the amount of the performance bonus
