Question

Inventors sells two of its patents in a contract with a retailer that sells toys and other​ children's products.


The first is a patent for a super absorbent diaper and the second is a patent for a new digital toy. Palm determines that each of these patents comprises a separate performance obligation. The estimated standalone selling prices are $7 million for the diaper patent and $2 million for the digital toy patent. The stated price in the contract for the diaper patent is a fixed  payment of $3.3 million. The price stated for the digital toy patent is 10% of the​ customer's future sales of the toys. Palm estimates the variable consideration for this patent as $3.7 million. During the current​ year, the customer has sales related to the toy patent of $20.0 million, resulting in a $2 million payment to Palm inventors and a total consideration of $5.3 million.
