If Pure-Train sells extended warranties to its customers for a fee, it indicates that a contract is separately priced. This implies that the extended warranties provide a warranty protection or product services that are not included in the acquisition price of the product covered by the contract (FASB ASC 605-20-25-1). FASB also states that extended warranty provides “coverage against the risk of certain specified claim costs for a specified period” (FASB ASC 605-20-25-2). For example, if the customer requests a covered service to be performed on the product that needs repair or service costs, such claim costs are considered repair costs (FASB ASC 605-20-25-2).

Since the extended warranties demand that Pure-Train provide customer service and repair in 36-months, the revenue must be recognized in income over this contract period.
