ANSWER – 4
Part (a)
The entity decides to use the expected value method to estimate the variable consideration
associated with the daily penalty or incentive (ie $2.5 million, plus or minus $10,000 per day). This
is because it is the method that the entity expects to better predict the amount of consideration to
which it will be entitled.
The entity decides to use the most likely amount to estimate the variable consideration associated
with the incentive bonus. This is because there are only two possible outcomes ($150,000 or $0)
and it is the method that the entity expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it
will be entitled.
