Acontractor must pay a $40,000 penalty if construction of an expensive home requires

Acontractor must pay a $40,000 penalty if construction of an expensive home requires more than 16 weeks. he will receive a bonus of $10,000 if the home is completed within 8 weeks. based on experience with this type of project, the contractor feels there is a 0.2 chance the home will require more than 16 weeks for completion, and there is a 0.3 chance it will be finished within 8 weeks. if the price of the home is $550,000 before any penalty or bonus adjustment, how much can the buyer expect to pay for her new home when it is completed?

It will expect to pay 545,000 dollars

Explanation:

We will calculate the probabilities:

outcome x probability

(40,000) x 0.2 = (8,000) penalty

10,000   x 0.3 = 3,000  bonus

         0    x 0.5 =       0  netiher

                         (5,000) expected

NOTE: the method will only work if the probabilities add up to one, so the remainder 0.5 will be assing to the timeframe within 8 ann 16 week on which there is no bonus or penalty.

list price: 550,000 + probability outcome: (5,000) = 545,000
