Correct answer: C) $1,652,893

Explanation

The financing component is removed by discounting the consideration: $2,000,000 / 1.10^2 = $1,652,893, calculated with an unrounded discount factor and rounded to the nearest dollar, which is recognised as revenue when control passes on delivery. The $347,107 difference is recognised as finance income over two years, starting with $165,289 in 20X5.
