Gwen runs a company that provides corporate health and
wellness
programs. One of her sales people signed a contract at the
beginning of the quarter for a very large client. It was a
bundle
of services to be provided over the next year. The contract was
for
$120,000, with equal payments at the beginning of each month
($10,000 per month). The new client is a very high profile and
well
known company, so Gwen is very excited. This is the first
bundled
contract that the company has sold and the salesperson felt like
it
was a great deal. It starts with an intense bootcamp in the
first
month for all employees. That will require a lot of work and
Gwen
would normally charge $30,000 for the bootcamp. Each month
throughout the contract they will offer an & intensive
weekend& ; of workouts and diet advice. Gwen normally
charges
$5,000 for each of these. They also will provide access to
their
online program, which has activity and food logs as well as
preprogrammed exercise suggestions and a weekly inspirational
email. Gwen would normally charge a company of this size
$15,000
for one year of access to the website. How much revenue should
Gwen
recognize at the end of the first quarter (3 months into the
deal)?
