TreeHold Corp. designs and builds custom harvesting equipment for logging companies across Canada. The company, which is publicly traded, has a May 31 year end. On February 18, 2020, TreeHold signed a contract with Coastal Harvesting Ltd. to design and build 25 custom harvesters that can harvest wood at the steep grades found along much of the Pacific coast timber stands included in Coastal's harvesting leases. The following events took place in 2020 in relation to the contract:
1. February 18: Officials from TreeHold and Coastal sign the contract. The contract was for $3,899,000. TreeHold is to design, manufacture, and deliver the 25 machines to Coastal's operations centre in Duncan, British Columbia. TreeHold's management estimates that the design component of the contract would be valued at $483,952 if contracted for separately, while the machine construction component of the contract would be valued at $3,837,048 if the machines were purchased separately. TreeHold agrees to provide a three-year assurance-type warranty for the machines, and the company's management estimates that the warranty claims would total $213,000 based on past experience. Coastal agrees to pay a $1,362,000 deposit within 10 days of signing the contract and to pay the balance within 15 days of the equipment being delivered.
2. February 25: Coastal pays the deposit specified in the contract.
3. March 28: TreeHold's engineering staff complete the equipment design and it is approved by officials from Coastal.
