Diversified has the following information related to two Super Soaker revenue arrangements during the first quarter of 2017.

1. Diversified sells 30 Super Soakers to businesses in flood-prone areas for a total contract price of \(54,600. In addition to the pumps, Diversified also provides installation (at a cost of \)150 per pump). On a standalone basis, the fair value of this service is \(200 per unit installed. The contract payment also includes a \)10 per month service plan for the pumps for 3 years after installation (Diversified’s cost to provide this service is \(7 per month). The Super Soakers are delivered and installed on March 1, 2017, and full payment is made to Diversified. Any discount is applied to the pump/installation bundle.
