Question

Nash Company manufactures equipment. Nash’s products range from simple automated machinery to complex systems containing numerous components. Unit selling prices range from $200,000 to $1,500,000 and are quoted inclusive of installation. The installation process does not involve changes to the features of the equipment and does not require proprietary information about the equipment in order for the installed equipment to perform to specifications. Nash has the following arrangement with Winkerbean Inc.

●		Winkerbean purchases equipment from Nash for a price of $1,040,000 and contracts with Nash to install the equipment. Nash charges the same price for the equipment irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. Using market data, Nash determines installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $45,400. The cost of the equipment is $581,000.
●		Winkerbean is obligated to pay Nash the $1,040,000 upon the delivery and installation of the equipment.

Nash delivers the equipment on June 1, 2020, and completes the installation of the equipment on September 30, 2020. The equipment has a useful life of 10 years. Assume that the equipment and the installation are two distinct performance obligations which should be accounted for separately.

Assuming Nash does not have market data with which to determine the standalone selling price of the installation services. As a result, an expected cost plus margin approach is used. The cost of installation is $39,200; Nash prices these services with a 25% margin relative to cost.
