1. For the equipment Hemo-Tech should use its best estimate of selling price. Since it does not have a price on its own and the two competitors’ sell a different model or the same model to a different set of customers, it must use its best estimate according to 605-25-30-6C. ASC 605-25-30-6C states: The vendor’s best estimate of selling price shall be consistent with the objective of determining vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price for the deliverable; that is, the price at which the vendor would transact if the deliverable were sold by the vendor regularly on a standalone basis. The vendor shall consider market conditions as well as entity-specific factors when estimating the selling price. ASC 605-25-30-6C states the principle that best estimate of selling price should be “the price at which the vendor would transact if the deliverable were sold by the vendor regularly on a standalone basis.” Since the cost to manufacture the equipment including labor, materials, and allocated R&D is known, as well as an estimated markup based on its history of margins as well as the added benefits of the new model, a reasonable estimate can be made.

2. For the discount on future supplies Hemo-Tech should use vendor specific objective evidence for pricing the discount. This is because 605-25-30-6A identifies that the price of the deliverable is the price when it is sold separately. Vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price is limited to either of the following:
a. The price charged for a deliverable when it is sold separately
b. For a deliverable not yet being sold separately, the price established by management having the relevant authority (it must be probable that the price, once established, will not change before the separate introduction of the deliverable into the marketplace). Since Hemo-Tech sells the boxes of supplies separately for $3,000, then this is the price at which the discount should be applied.
