Answer:

A. $1,195,400

B. $1,172,630

Explanation:

A. Calculation to Determine the transaction price for the contract

Transaction price=$1,046,900+$148,500

Transaction price=$1,195,400

Therefore the transaction price for the contract will be $1,195,400

B . Calculation to determine the transaction price for the contract.

First step is to Calculate the probabilities

August 1, 2018=$148,500*.7

August 1, 2018=$103,950

August 8, 2018=$99,000*.2

($148,500-$49,500)

August 8, 2018=$19,800

August 15, 2018=$49,500*.04

August 15, 2018=$1,980

August 15, 2018=$0*.06

August 15, 2018=0

Now let calculate the Transaction price

Total transaction price =$1,046,900+$103,950+$19,800+$1,980

Total transaction price =$1,172,630

Therefore The Total transaction price will be $1,172,630
