1) The appreciation of the U.S. dollar and depreciation of the yuan worked as a catalyst to speed up the Asian currency crisis as the exports were slowed down causing a decline in growth which also gives the motivation to the central bank to devalue their currency more in order to achieve export competitiveness to boost up the exports and economy.

Does Manuel have any certainties that Nolan will purchase more than 30,000 units during the year? Apparently, according to historic sales, Nolan purchases at least 40,000 units per year, so Manuel should consider that Nolan will again purchase a similar amount this year and therefore, will be entitled to a rebate.
Another issue that must be considered is that 30,000 units / 4 quarters = 7,500 units per quarter, and Nolan clearly purchased more than that.
A rebate is not a discount, it happens when the seller offers a certain amount of goods to a buyer without cost because the buyer purchased more than an specific amount. It is basically an incentive or prize that Manuel gives Nolan for being a good client.
Manuel should recognize $110,000 x (1 - 6%) = $103,400 in revenues
