Clarks Inc., a shoe retailer, sells boots in different styles. In early November the company starts selling “SunBoots” to customers for $65 per pair. When a customer purchases a pair of SunBoots, Clarks also gives the customer a 30% discount coupon for any additional future purchases made in the next 30 days. Customers can’t obtain the discount coupon otherwise. Clarks anticipates that approximately 20% of customers will utilize the coupon, and that on average those customers will purchase additional goods that normally sell for $140.
Required:
-
How many performance obligations are in a contract to buy a pair of SunBoots?
