FACTS: Acme is an accrual basis corporation that designs, manufactures, and markets widgets. Acme comes up with brand names for its various types of widgets that investors come up with. If a particular brand name is already trademarked, Acme obtains a licensing agreement that allows it to use the trademark. Since Acme's widgets function the same as other tools, the trademarks are what differentiates their widgets. Acme recently negotiated with Brand X Corporation for a license. They agreed on Acme paying Brand X, based on a percentage of sales revenue at the time of WidgetX Sales. This year, Acme produced $80 million worth of WidgetX, sold $54 million worth, and paid Brand X $1.2 million in licensing fees.
