Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Performance Bonus

Aperformance bonus is a sort of additional remuneration given to an individual or department as a reward for meeting established goals.

02

Transaction price of this contract

Apartment building cost (price of contract) = $1,000,000

Bonus by August 1, 2018 = $150,000

Probability by August 1, 2018 = 70%

PricebyAugust1,2018=Priceofcontract+Bonus×Probability=$1,000,000$150,000×70%=$1,150,000×70100=$805,000

Bonus by August 8, 2018 = $100,000

Probability by August 8, 2018 = 20%

role="math" localid="1648280899411" PricebyAugust8,2018=Priceofcontarct+Bonus×Probability=$1,000,000+$100,000×20%=$1,100,000×20100=$220,000

Bonus by August 15, 2018 = $50,000

Probability by August 15, 2018 = 5%

PricebyAugust15,2018=Priceofcontract+Bonus×Probability=$1,000,000+$50,000×5%=$1,050,000×5100=$52,500

Bonus after August 15, 2018 = $0

Probability after August 15, 2018 = 5%

PriceafterAugust15,2018=PriceofContract+Bonus×Probability=$1,000,000+$0×5%=$1,000,000×5100=$50,000

TransactionPrice=PricebyAugust1+PricebyAugust8+PricebyAugust15+PriceafterAugust15=$805,000+$220,000+$52,500+$50,000=$1,127,500
