Sanjeev Enters into a Contract Offering Variable Consideration

Sanjeev enters into a contract offering variable consideration. The contract pays him $1,000/month for six months of continuous consulting services. In addition, there is a 60% chance the contract will pay an additional $2,000 and a 40% chance the contract will pay an additional $3,000, depending on the outcome of the consulting contract. Sanjeev concludes that this contract qualifies for revenue recognition over time.
