In the case of firm commitment, the bank is confident that it will be able to sell the shares, but is uncertain about the price. As part of its procedures for assessing risk, it considers two alternative scenario. Under the first scenario, it can obtain a price of $12 share; under the second, it is able to obtain only $8 per share. In a best-effect deal, the bank obtains a fee of $2 million in both cases. In a firm commitment deal its profits depends on the price it is able to obtain. If it sells the shares for $12, it makes a profits of ($12-$10)*10 million=$20 million because it has agreed to pay corporation $10 per share. However, if it can only sell the shares for $8, it losses($10-$8)*10 million=$20 million because it still has to pay corporation $10 per share.
