Because you had such a successful first few months, you are considering other opportunities to develop your business. One opportunity is the sale of high-quality mixers. The owner of Esquiver Supply Co. has approached you to become the exclusive distributor of these fine mixers in your state. The current cost of a mixer is approximately $595, and you would sell each one for $1,150. You need to determine how to account for these mixers. Each appliance has a serial number and can be easily identified.
