On October 2, 2017, Laplante Company sold \(6,000 of its elite camping gear (with a cost of \)3,600) to Lynch Outfitters. As part of the sales agreement, Laplante includes a provision that if Lynch is dissatisfied with the product, Laplante will grant an allowance on the sales price or agree to take the product back (although returns are rare, given the long-term relationship between Laplante and Lynch). Lynch expects total allowances to Lynch to be \(800. On October 16, 2017, Laplante grants an allowance of \)400 to Lynch because the color for some of the items delivered was a bit different than what appeared in the catalog.

Celic Inc. manufactures and sells computers that include an assurance-type warranty for the first 90 days. Celic offers an optional extended coverage plan under which it will repair or replace any defective part for 3 years from the expiration of the assurance-type warranty. Because the optional extended coverage plan is sold separately, Celic determines that the 3 years of extended coverage represents a separate performance obligation. The total transaction price for the sale of a computer and the extended warranty is \(3,600 on October 1, 2017, and Celic determines the standalone selling price of each is \)3,200 and \(400, respectively. Further, Celic estimates, based on historical experience, it will incur \)200 in costs to repair defects that arise within the 90-day coverage period for the assurance-type warranty. The cost of the equipment is \(1,440. Assume that the \)200 in costs to repair defects in the computers occurred on October 25, 2017.
Instructions
(a) Prepare the journal entry(ies) to record the October transactions related to sale of the computers.
(b) Briefly describe the accounting for the service-type warranty after the 90-day assurance-type warranty period.
(Determine Transaction Price) Taylor Marina has 300 available slips that rent for $800 per season. Payments must be made in full by the start of the boating season, April 1, 2018. The boating season ends October 31, and the marina has a December 31 year-end. Slips for future seasons may be reserved if paid for by December 31, 2018. Under a new policy, if payment for 2019 season slips is made by December 31, 2018, a 5% discount is allowed. If payment for 2020 season slips is made by December 31, 2018, renters get a 20% discount (this promotion hopefully will provide cash flow for major dock repairs).
On December 31, 2017, all 300 slips for the 2018 season were rented at full price. On December 31, 2018, 200 slips were reserved and paid for the 2019 boating season, and 60 slips were reserved and paid for the 2020 boating season.
Instructions
(a) Prepare the appropriate journal entries for December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018.
(b) Assume the marina operator is unsophisticated in business. Explain the managerial significance of the above accounting to this person.
