A large community college buys and takes delivery of 50 iMac computers from a local Apple store. The invoiced price is $2,800 per unit and includes hardware, software essential to the functionality of the hardware, third-party software including Microsoft Office for Mac and Adobe Creative Suite, and two years of tech service and support. Apple uses vendor-specific objective evidence to determine unit prices of $2,500 and $300 for hardware and the essential software, respectively. The third-party software typically retails for $500 (but Apple purchases it at a 50% discount) and equivalent service and support contracts are $100 per year. The customer (the community college) can opt to purchase subsequent essential software and OS upgrades. Indicate how Apple should record gross revenue for the transaction at the time the customer takes delivery of the computers. Your response should include specific dollar amounts.arrow_forward
