Step by step solution

P18-4 (LO2,3,4) (Allocate Transaction Price, Discounts, Time Value) Economy Appliance Co. manufactures low-price, no-frills appliances that are in great demand for rental units. Pricing and cost information on Economy’s main products are as follows

Item

Standalone Selling price (cost)

Refrigerator

\(500 (\)260)

Range

560 (275)

Stackable washer/dryer unit

700 (400)

Customers can contract to purchase either individually at the stated prices or a three-item bundle with a price of \(1,800. The bundle price includes delivery and installation. The economy also provides installation (not a separate performance obligation).

Instructions

Respond to the requirements related to the following independent revenue arrangements for Economy Appliance Co.

On June 1, 2017, Economy sold 100 washer/dryer units without installation to Laplante Rentals for \)70,000. Laplante is a newer customer and is unsure how this product will work in its older rental units. Economy offers a 60-day return privilege and estimates, based on prior experience with sales on this product, that 4% of the units will be returned. Prepare the journal entries for the sale and related cost of goods sold on June 1, 2017.

Question: (Allocate Transaction Price) Refer to the revenue arrangement in E18-13.

Instructions

Repeat requirements (a) and (b) assuming Crankshaft does not have market data with which to determine the standalone selling price of the installation services. As a result, an expected cost plus margin approach is used. The cost of installation is $36,000; Crankshaft prices these services with a 25% margin relative to cost.

(Determine Transaction Price) Jeff Heun, president of Concrete Always, agrees to construct a concrete cart path at Dakota Golf Club. Concrete Always enters into a contract with Dakota to construct the path for \(200,000. In addition, as part of the contract, a performance bonus of \)40,000 will be paid based on the timing of completion. The performance bonus will be paid fully if completed by the agreed-upon date. The performance bonus decreases by $10,000 per week for every week beyond the agreed-upon completion date. Jeff has been involved in a number of contracts that had performance bonuses as part of the agreement in the past. As a result, he is fairly confident that he will receive a good portion of the performance bonus. Jeff estimates, given the constraints of his schedule related to other jobs , that there is 55% probability that he will complete the project on time, a 30% probability that he will be 1 week late, and a 15% probability that he will be 2 weeks late.

Instructions

(a) Determine the transaction price that Concrete Always should compute for this agreement.

(b) Assume that Jeff Heun has reviewed his work schedule and decided that it makes sense to complete this project on time. Assuming that he now believes that the probability for completing the project on time is 90% and otherwise it will be finished 1 week late, determine the transaction price.

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.

Wood-Mode Company is involved in the design, manufacture, and installation of various types of wood products for large construction projects. Wood-Mode recently completed a large contract for Stadium Inc., which consisted of building 35 different types of concession counters for a new soccer arena under construction. The terms of the contract are that upon completion of the counters, Stadium would pay \(2,000,000. Unfortunately, due to the depressed economy, the completion of the new soccer arena is now delayed. Stadium has therefore asked Wood-Mode to hold the counters for 2 months at its manufacturing plant until the arena is completed. Stadium acknowledges in writing that it ordered the counters and that they now have ownership. The time that Wood-Mode Company must hold the counters is totally dependent on when the arena is completed. Because Wood-Mode has not received additional progress payments for the counters due to the delay, Stadium has provided a deposit of \)300,000.

Instructions

(a) Explain this type of revenue recognition transaction.

(b) What factors should be considered in determining when to recognize revenue in this transaction?

(c) Prepare the journal entry(ies) that Wood-Mode should make, assuming it signed a valid sales contract to sell the counters and received at the time the $300,000 deposit.
