Munich IT Solutions (MITS) is a fast-growing, medium-sized business that primarily provides integrated server solutions that manage the storage, organization, and retrieval of information. MITS provides IT solutions by offering both server hardware and database management software.

MITS's CEO, CFO, and COO are compensated based on a 10% bonus of pretax net income if revenues exceed $4 million. The net income and revenue measures are based on the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The board of directors implemented such a bonus structure in order to help align the goals of top management and shareholders, and also ensure that executives do not cut discretionary spending in order to reach a net income bonus threshold.

MITS's top management team is excited about the current year's results because the draft financial statements reveal revenues in excess of the $4-million threshold and a bonus of $156,390 will be payable. The draft financial statements are to be reviewed by the internal audit department, in anticipation of the external auditor's field work next week.

Information Regarding the Current Year's Operations
Mainframe Servers: MITS sells large mainframe servers for $550,000. The cost of the server is $300,000. MITS delivers and installs the server at the customer's site. The customer signs off on an acceptance form once the server is instaled and tested. MITS has never had a customer reject the installation of a mainframe server.
In order to help promote sales, MITS began to offer a two-year warranty with all mainframe servers. The warranty is expected to cost an average of $45,000 per server to service the warranty over the two-year period. Industry competitors that offer similar warranties set the warranty price as two times expected cost.

MITS has received orders for four mainframe servers during the current year, of which all four have been delivered and instaled and three have been accepted by the customer. During the current year, the periods of the warranties for the servers covered by MITS totaled 13 months.

Small Business Solutions: MITS's typical small business solution customer is a growing business without a designated information technology department that purchases server hardware. MITS sells a small business solution of $175,000, with payment in advance to allow MITS to order the servers. The small business servers cost $90,000.
Included with the purchase of a server is one year of database management services. If a customer does not want the database management services, MITS provides a discount of $25,000 from the mainframe purchase price. All customers wanted the services in the current fiscal year and MITS provided a total of 47 months of DMS services as a result of these sales.

Database Management Services (DMS): MITS recently began marketing its DMS on a stand-alone basis for $3,500 per month, which is consistent with competitor prices. As of year end, the company has not received any orders for only DMS; however, management expects orders to begin to pick up shortly.
The gross margin percentage on the small business server and mainframe server is expected to be the same.
Small business solutions server revenue is recorded when the cash is received.
