Nadine Chelesvig has patented her invention. She is offering a potential manufacturer two contracts for the exclusive right to manufacture and market her product. Plan A calls for an immediate single lump sum payment to her of $30,000. Plan B calls for an annual payment of $1,000 plus a royalty of $0.50 per unit sold. The remaining life of the patent is 10 years. Nadine uses a MARR of 10%/year. What must be the uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts based on a future worth analysis?

Contract Costing

Contract costing is about tracing particular costs related to a particular contract entered into with the customer. It is one of the forms of job order costing. It is useful in long-term contracts at the most. It is seen that substantial time is required for the completion of the contract which takes different accounting periods. Thus, it is very much helpful for recognizing the costs associated with it and accounting in their specific accounting periods.
