Entity A is a listed company in Hong Kong. It is famous for the construction of power supplier plants in Southeast Asia.

Entity A enters into a construction contract (Contract C) with Entity B to build a plant for $39,840,000 on 1 April 2020. To encourage completion on time, Entity B agreed to pay a performance bonus of 20% contract price that would be paid based on the actual completion time. The amount of the performance bonus decreases by 15.00% per week for every week if the completion date is beyond the agreed completion date.

The requirements of the contract are similar to the contracts that Entity A has performed before, and the directors of Entity A believe that such experience is predictive for Contract C with Entity B.

They estimated that there was a 44% probability it would be completed 1 week late. A 31% probability it would be completed 2 weeks late. A 12% probability it would be completed 3 weeks late. A 5% probability it would be completed 4 weeks late. Thus, the remaining probability was that Contract C will be completed on time.
