The normal selling price of the machine without the inclusion of any service warranty would have been 24 million. Gréolière would normally charge a customer a total of 6 million to provide a three-year service warranty covering breakdown costs on a machine of this nature.
On 1 October 2021, what is the revenue to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss in relation with the sale of the machine ?
