P18-7 (LO3) (Customer Loyalty Program) Martz Inc. has a customer loyalty program that rewards a customer with 1 customer loyalty point for every \(10 of purchases. Each point is redeemable for a \)3 discount on any future purchases. On July 2, 2017, customers purchase products for \(300,000 (with a cost of \)171,000) and earn 30,000 points redeemable for future purchases. Martz expects 25,000 points to be redeemed. Martz estimates a standalone selling price of \(2.50 per point (or \)75,000 total) on the basis of the likelihood of redemption. The points provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a contract. As a result, Martz concludes that the points are a separate performance obligation.
