Answer 1

$1,193,562

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to Determine the transaction price for this contract.

First step is to calculate the probabilities

Probabilities

August 1, 2021 =70 % *$153,300

August 1, 2021 =$107,310

August 8, 2021= 20%*$51,100

August 8, 2021= $10,220

August 15, 2021 =6%*$102,200

($153,300-$51,100)

August 15, 2021 =$6,132

After August 15, 2021= 4%*$0

After August 15, 2021= $0

Now let calculate the transaction price for this contract.

Total transaction price =$1,069,900+ $107,310+$10,220+$6,132+$0

Total transaction price =$1,193,562

Therefore the transaction price for this contract will be $1,193,562
