Current Attempt in Progress

Culver Company manufactures equipment. Culver's products range from simple automated machinery to complex systems containing numerous components. Unit selling prices range from $$400,000$ to $$1,500,000$ and are quoted inclusive of installation. The installation process does not involve changes to the features of the equipment and does not require proprietary information about the equipment in order for the installed equipment to perform to specifications. Culver has the following arrangement with Henderson Inc.

Henderson purchases equipment from Culver for a price of $$1,020,000$ and contracts with Culver to install the equipment. Culver charges the same price for the equipment irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The cost of the equipment is $$565,000.$

Henderson is obligated to pay Culver the $$1,020,000$ upon the delivery and installation of the equipment.

Culver delivers the equipment on June $1,2020,$ and completes the installation of the equipment on September $30,2020.$ The equipment has a useful life of $10$ years. Assume that the equipment and the installation are two distinct performance obligations which should be accounted for separately.

Assuming Culver does not have market data with which to determine the standalone selling price of the installation services. As a result, an expected cost plus margin approach is used. The cost of installation is $$35,800$; Culver prices these services with a $25\%$ margin relative to cost$.$
