A performs bookkeeping and tax- reporting services to startup companies. On January 1, 2018, A entered into a 3-year service contract with B. B promises to pay $9,000 at the beginning of each year, which at contract inception is the stand-alone selling price for these services. At the end of the second year, the contract is modified and the fee for the third year of services is reduced to $8,000. In addition, B agrees to pay an additional $22,000 at the beginning of the third year to cover the contract for 3 additional years (i.e., 4 years remain after the modification). The extended contract services are similar to those provided in the first 2 years of the contract.
