Oriole Company enters into a contract with a customer to build a warehouse for $401900, with a performance bonus of $101900 that
will be paid based on the timing of completion. The amount of the performance bonus decreases by 20% per week for every week
beyond the agreed-upon completion date. The contract requirements are similar to contracts that Oriole has performed previously,
and management believes that such experience is predictive for this contract. Management estimates that there is a 50% probability
that the contract will be completed by the agreed-upon completion date, a 30% probability that it will be completed 1 week late, and a
20% probability that it will be completed 2 weeks late. What is the total transaction price for this revenue arrangement?

- Determining the Transaction Price for a Revenue Contract A contractor enters into a revenue contract with a customer to build customized equipment for $180,000 with a performance bonus of $99,000 that will be paid based on how quickly the equipment is completed. The amount of the performance bonus decreases by 15% of the original bonus per week for every week beyond the agreed upon completion date. The contractor has had experiences with similar contracts and thus has the data to predict the timing of completion of the contract. Therefore, the contractor concludes that the expected value method is the best predictor of revenue. The contractor estimates that there is a 60% probability that the contract will be completed by the agreed-upon completion date, a 35% probability that it will be completed one week late, and a 5% probability that it will be completed two weeks late.
