Leo Consulting enters into a contract with Highgate University to restructure Highgate’s processes for purchasing goods from suppliers. The contract states that Leo will earn a fixed fee of $25,000 and earn an additional $10,000 if Highgate achieves $100,000 of cost savings. Leo estimates a 50% chance that Highgate will achieve $100,000 of cost savings. Assuming that Leo determines the transaction price as the expected value of expected consideration, what transaction price will Leo estimate for this contract?

Answer 1

Answer:

The transaction price would Leo estimated for this contract is $30,000

= $17,500 + $12,500

= $30,000

hence, the transaction price would Leo estimated for this contract is $30,000
