Question:
Austin is a manufacturer of Industrial machines. During 2020, Austin launched a new machine with model name Omega. Each unit of Omega is being sold for Rs. 10 million payable upon delivery.

Revenue from support services is recognized over the contract period. Customers can also obtain such support services from third parties.
Sales of Omega have remained below expectation so far. The marketing department has proposed the following options to increase the sales of Omega:
