TGX Global sells excavators, with an average sale price of $500,000 per excavator.

• TGX received new orders for 90 excavators in 2018.
• TGX produced & delivered 120 excavators in 2018: 50 excavators were ordered in 2017 and the rest (70 excavators) were ordered in 2018.
• TGX received payment for 110 excavators.
• TGX began selling 1-year maintenance services contracts for $50,000 per excavator in 2018, which begin after the excavator is delivered. Contracts were sold on 50% of all excavator orders made in 2018 (no contracts were sold on orders placed in 2017).

Assume now that instead of the revenue recognized in the previous question, TGX recognized $50 million in revenue for 100 excavators (and assume no maintenance contract revenue was recognized). In addition, the following occurred in 2018:

• TGX recognized $2 million in shipping and delivery costs for its excavators.
• TGX recognized $6 million in direct labor expenses.
• TGX recognized $3 million in commissions paid to its salespeople for selling the excavators.
• TGX purchased $60 million in raw materials in 2018, of which $50 million was in cash.
