For all its assets and liabilities, ISee Company agreed to pay the four previous owners of Vision Group $20 million in cash. These four Vision Group proprietors have created and copyrighted a system for real-time traffic monitoring on the top 200 roads in the country, which are regularly congested. ISee wants to merge new technology with current global positioning systems and projects, significantly improving revenues.
As part of the purchase deal, ISee also commits to pay the prior owners extra sums after achieving specific financial objectives. ISee will pay the four former Vision Group owners $8 million if total system earnings surpass $100 million over the following three years. ISee predicts that the currently adjusted likelihood of this contingent payout is $4 million. The four previous owners have also been granted contracts to support system integration and performance improvement concerns with ISee. The employment contracts stay quiet on the service life, contain nominal pay identical to those of comparable staff, and set the profit-shared component of ISee's present fair value of $2 million (provided the staff remains with the firm) for the following three years. The four former owners of Vision Group claim that they will remain for at least three years as workers to support the intended financial objectives.
Should consider the contingent payments promised to former Vision Group owners as a consideration delivered to the workers for purchase or as compensation costs?
