Explanation:

The total sales price of the transaction was no doubt $410,000, however the bone of contention is whether Shaw company can recognize the entire amount as sales on the date making the sales transaction. The answer is emphatic no as amount of sales amount recognizable is a function of performance obligations already discharged.

The transfer of the goods to Ricard company on January 2nd ,2020 entitles Shaw company to record as sales the standalone price of the goods but not the installation price as installation price would be recognized on a monthly basis as installation progresses, in other words as at 2nd January, 2020 no installation has been carried out, hence the it is not shown in sales yet.
