The installation includes programming the remote to have the TV interface with other parts of the customer’s home entertainment system. VP concludes that the TV, remote, and installation service are separate performance obligations.

Based on the information available in the question, we can calculate the revenue to be abllocated to the TV, the remote and the installation service as follows:-

TV | 2,295 | 85.00% | 2,600 | 2,210 |
Remote | 135 | 5.00% | 2,600 | 130 |
Installation service | 270 | 10.00% | 2,600 | 260 |
Total | 2,700 | 2,600 |
The percentage of fair market value for each item is obtained by :-
(Fair market value of the product/Total Fair market value) . Example :- For TV , it is $2,295/$2,700 = 85%
