Mirabella, Inc. sells security equipment, usually along with computer integration services. It does not sell these separately. The equipment cannot operate without being fully integrated with a computer system. Significant customization is required during this integration. Other competitors could theoretically provide computer integration services.

The sales manager for Mirabella has just obtained a signed contract from Jemison Brothers to provide and perform computer integration services for security equipment at a cost of $10 million, and to have everything operational within one year, at which time full payment is due. Jemison will not get control of the equipment until the integration is completed. Management expects to have the system fully operational and available for Jemisons use in the 12^th month of the contract.

In the initial contract negotiation stage, the contract price with Jemison was $10.1 million in cash. However, as part of the final contract negotiations, Jemison agrees to give Mirabella its old security equipment in exchange for a credit of $100,000. It is expected that this old security equipment will not be decommissioned until the new equipment is operational. Based on its extensive experience, Mirabella believes it is probable that the estimated fair value of the old equipment at the contract inception date is $115, 000.

There is a provision in the contract that Jemison will receive a discount of $500,000 from the contract price of $10 million if they pay within three days of the date the contract is signed. Jemison wired $9.5 million to Mirabella two days after the contract was signed.

Jemison has offered a bonus to Mirabella if the integration is completed early and Mirabella agreed to pay a penalty if the integration is completed late. Mirabella has a large number of contracts with bonus characteristics similar to the contract with Jemison. The following is the schedule of the potential bonus or penalty. While no specific outcome is probable, Mirabellas management assessment of the likelihood of completing the integration in the specified time frame is based on significant historical experience with similar integration jobs.

Required: Prepare a report (2-3 pages) discussing the following:

Analyze steps 1 through 3 of the revenue recognition model, i.e. identify the contract, identify the performance obligations, and determine the transaction price. Make sure to address, among the other issues, how the variable consideration issues should be treated and how the non-cash consideration of the old equipment should be treated. For purposes of this case, you can ignore the time value of money issues.

In your analysis of each step, provide references to the ASC codification codes to support your

conclusion and journal entries. Prepare a report that is three pages MAX, including necessary tables,

journal entries, and calculations. There is no need to have a separate reference page if you properly cite

the ASC codes (e.g., according to ASC 606-10-25-19, a contract contains multiple performance

obligations if This contact has X performance obligations because )
