On April 1st, Bob the Builder entered into a contract
of one-month duration to build a barn for Nolan. Bob is guaranteed
to receive a base fee of $5,800 for his services in addition to a
bonus depending on when the project is completed. Nolan created
incentives for Bob to finish the barn as soon as he can without
jeopardizing the structural integrity of the barn. Nolan offered to
pay an additional 25% of the base fee if the project finished 2
weeks early and 15% if the project finished a week early. The
probability of finishing 2 weeks early is 25% and the probability
of finishing a week early is 60%.
