Suppose the contract contains a penalty clause of $40,000 per month for a late delivery of THE  SYSTEM.  There is general agreement among the technical team that they have a 50% probability of being late by one month, a 10% probability of being late by two months and a 5% probability of being late by three months.  What is your risk exposure?

scheduled delivery is after 24 month and 3 month for beta testing ..(info if needed)

    This problem as presented is

    This problem as presented is based on a single dominant chain. While it looks like both methods can give the same result it is not necessarily valid for the common case where more than a single chain occurs. In order to avoid the Flaw of Averages and falling into the Merge Bias issue it is better to use Monte Carlo methods.
