Question

On May 1, 2021, Meta Computer, Inc., enters into a contract to sell 4,000 units of Comfort Office Keyboard to one of its clients, Bionics, Inc., at a fixed price of $68,000, to be settled by a cash payment on May 1. Delivery is scheduled for June 1, 2021. As part of the contract, the seller offers a 25% discount coupon to Bionics for any purchases in the next six months. The seller will continue to offer a 5% discount on all sales during the same time period, which will be available to all customers. Based on experience, Meta Computer estimates a 50% probability that Bionics will redeem the 25% discount voucher, and that the coupon will be applied to $40,000 of purchases. The stand-alone selling price for the Comfort Office Keyboard is $19.00 per unit. Required: 1. How many performance obligations are in this contract

Answer 1

Answer:

this contract includes 2 performance obligations

Explanation:

the performance obligations are as follows:

1. performance obligation 1 refers to providing 4,000 keyboards to Bionics
2. performance obligation 2 refers to the special discount options which could be redeemed by the client resulting in a material right. If the client had not made this purchase, then it wouldn't be entitled to the special discount.

A performance obligation is created whenever a business promises a customer that it will deliver or provide a good or service.
