Sales and Receivables Process

Your audit client manufactures and sells equipment. One of their primary products is a set of equipment for a complete manufacturing process, which consists of Equipment A, B, and C. Your client does not sell Equipment A, B, or C separately; however, their competitors do sell the same equipment separately and there is a market for used equipment.

Your client sold two complete manufacturing processes (Equipment A, B, and C) in December. They delivered Equipment A and C on December 20, but did not deliver Equipment B until January 6. Without Equipment B, the customer does not have use of Equipment A and C. However, there is an active market for new Equipment A, B, and C on a separate basis, as the equipment is often bought separately from other vendors as replacements become necessary. The contract provides that if all pieces of equipment are not delivered, the customer may return Equipment A and C and have no liability to your client. The contract requires delivery of all equipment prior to February 1, and your client has sufficient production capacity and inventory to deliver the equipment prior to that contractual deadline.
