The franchise agreement may provide for the franchisor to supply equipment,
inventories, or other tangible assets, at a price lower than that charged to
others or a price that does not provide a reasonable profit on those sales, in
which case, part of the initial fee, sufficient to cover estimated costs in excess
of that price and to provide a reasonable profit on those sales, is deferred
and accounted for as an adjustment of the selling price when the franchisee
purchases the equipment or supplies. (See: Bargain purchase option section
