The sales manager is elated because she closed a \(\$ 300,000\), 3-year maintenance contract on December 29, 2024, two days before the company's year-end. "Now we will hit this year's net income target for sure," she crowed. The customer is required to pay \(\$ 100,000\) on December 29 (the day the deal was closed). Two more payments of \(\$ 100,000\) each are also required on December 29, 2025 and 2026. Discuss the effect that this event will have on the company's financial statements.
