Grouper has the following information related to two Super Soaker revenue arrangements during the first quarter of 2020.
1. Grouper sells 30 Super Soakers to businesses in flood-prone areas for a total contract price of $51,600. In addition to the pumps, Grouper also provides installation (at a cost of $160 per pump). On a standalone basis, the fair value of this service is $190 per unit installed. The contract payment also includes a $10 per month service plan for the pumps for 3 years after installation (Grouper's cost to provide this service is $8 per month). The Super Soakers are delivered and installed on March 1, 2020, and full payment is made to Grouper. Any discount is applied to the pump/installation bundle.
