John’s Agency sells an insurance policy offered by Capital Insurance Company for a commission of $90. In addition, Aaron will receive an additional commission of $30 each year for as long as the policyholder does not cancel the policy. After selling the policy, Aaron does not have any remaining performance obligations. Based on Aaron’s significant experience with these types of policies, it estimates that policyholders on average renew the policy for 5.5 years. It has no evidence to suggest that previous policyholder behavior will change.
Determine the transaction price of the arrangement for Aaron, assuming 90 policies are sold.
