Adamss Lawn Equipment sells high-quality lawn mowers and offers a 3-year warranty on all new lawn mowers sold. In 2020, Adams sold $282,900 of new specialty mowers for golf greens for which Adamss service department does not have the equipment to do the service. Adams has entered into an agreement with Mower Mavens to provide all warranty service on the special mowers sold in 2020. Adams wishes to measure the fair value of the agreement to determine the warranty liability for sales made in 2020.
