Notsogood Property Developers signed a contract with a customer, OK Property Renters, to construct a commercial building
Question:
Notsogood Property Developers signed a contract with a customer, OK Property Renters,
to construct a commercial building for a consideration of $5 million. The project is
expected to last for two years. The customer agreed to pay a bonus of $400,000 on top of
the initial consideration if the project is completed within two years. At the beginning of
year two, the customer modified the initial plan to accommodate more space for the
recreational area, which increased the initial contract price by 10%. Additionally, the
customer offered to increase the bonus by 5% and the completion time by six months.
Notsogood Property estimated the total project costs to be $4,200,000 initially and then
increased by 10% after modification of the plan. The company incurred $1,800,000 in
costs in the first year.
