Question

Jeff Heun, president of Sheffield Always, agrees to construct a concrete cart path at Dakota Golf Club. Sheffield Always enters into a contract with Dakota to construct the path for $195,000. In addition, as part of the contract, a performance bonus of $46,800 will be paid based on the timing of completion. The performance bonus will be paid fully if completed by the agreed-upon date. The performance bonus decreases by $11,700 per week for every week beyond the agreed-upon completion date. Jeff has been involved in a number of contracts that had performance bonuses as part of the agreement in the past. As a result, he is fairly confident that he will receive a good portion of the performance bonus. Jeff estimates, given the constraints of his schedule related to other jobs , that there is 60% probability that he will complete the project on time, a 30% probability that he will be 1 week late, and a 10% probability that he will be 2 weeks late. Determine the transaction price that Sheffield Always should compute for this agreement. Transaction Price LINK TO TEXT Assume that Jeff Heun has reviewed his work schedule and decided that it makes sense to complete this project on time. Assuming that he now believes that the probability for completing the project on time is 88% and otherwise it will be finished 1 week late, determine the transaction price. Transaction price

Solution: (a)

Transaction price =195,000 +46,800 x 60% + 35,100x30% + 23,400 x10%

=$235,950

Solution (b)

Transaction price= 195,000 + 46,800 x 88% + 35,100x12%

=$240,396
