plans and technical know-how and to furnish them to the Japanese company free of charge for
making the machines more efficient.
One of ACME’s customers in Uganda wants modifications made to the machines. These
modifications must be made at the time of production, resulting in a higher cost to make the
machines. ACME does not have the funds to pay the Japanese company for the extra costs of the
modification and the Japanese company will not produce machines with the modification without
first receiving payment for increased production costs, so ACME has its customer send a
payment to the Japanese company for the additional costs of the modifications.
The sales agreement indicates that if the machines are delivered on time, the Japanese
company will receive a bonus payment.
