In May 20X2, the city council of Oshawa, Ontario awarded a $7.6 million contract to Build-It Corp. (BIC) to construct a new community centre in the city. The contract included a clause that provided for an early completion bonus if BIC finished the project at least one month before the scheduled completion date of October 31, 20X3.

The bonus completion schedule, together with BIC's senior management's estimates as to the probability of finishing by the specified dates, follows:

Project completion date                              Bonus payment                Estimated probability
Prior to July 31, 20X3                                       $400,000                     10%

Between August 1 and 31, 20X3                       $300,000                         20%

Between September 1 and 30, 20X3                    $200,000                         40%

October 1, 20X3, or later                                       $0                               30%
