$200 million at the time of signing; $100 million on December 31, 2019; and $200 million at completion in May 2020. ABC incurred the following costs in constructing the power plant: $100 million in 2019, and $300 million in 2020. The construction of the power generating facility is considered to be a single performance obligation.
