Determine the transaction price for this contract.

Answer 1

The determination of the transaction price for this contract for Nair Corp. is as follows:

Completed by Probability:

Date                             Probability         Bonus/Penalty       Outcome

August 1, 2015                  70%                 $150,000         $105,000 ($150,000 x 70%)

August 8, 2015                 20%                 $50,000             -10,000

August 15, 2015                 5%                  $50,000              -2,500

After August 15, 2015        5%                 $50,000              -2,500

Total expected value of performance bonus =           $135,000

Contract value = $1,000,000

Total transaction price = $1,135,000 ($1,000,000 + $135,000).
