Explanation: In an revenue transaction there five steps to recognizing it.

2. There must be performance obligation (clear obligations to be done by both parties). Rachel will pay for the training pita will provide, Rachel will pay at the end of the year for the use of pita name n ongoing consultation.

3. The must be transaction price, fortunately for us each transaction has a stand alone price.

4. Allocate transaction price to performance obligation, each obligation has its stand alone price already, training = 83000, use and consulting = 38400.
