Chapter 18: Question BE18-18 (page 1033)

Talarczyk Company sold 10,000 Super-Spreaders on December 31, 2017, at a total price of \(1,000,000, with a warranty guarantee that the product was free of any defects. The cost of the spreaders sold is \)550,000. The assurance warranties extend for a 2-year period and are estimated to cost \(40,000. Talarczyk also sold extended warranties (service-type warranties) related to 2,000 spreaders for 2 years beyond the 2-year period for \)12,000. Given this information, determine the amounts to report for the following at December 31, 2017: sales revenue, warranty expense, unearned warranty revenue, warranty liability, and cash.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Sales revenue = $1,000,000; Warranty expense = $40,000; Unearned warranty revenue = $12,000; Warranty liability = $40,000; Cash = $1,012,000.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Service-Type Warranties

Extra services are included in warranties that go beyond the assurance-type guarantee. Because it is not included in the product's purchase price, this assurance is referred to as a service-type warranty. As a result, it is recorded as a performance obligation individually.

02

Calculation of sales revenue, warranty expense, unearned warranty revenue, warranty liability, and cash

At the price of $1,000,000 Talarczyk sold super-spreaders that means,

Sales Revenue will be $1,000,000.

Talarczyk extends the assurance warranties and the cost estimate for this is $40,000 that means,

Warranty Expense will be $40,000.

Extended warranties were also sold by Talarczyk which are service-type warranties for $12,000 that means,

Unearned Warranty Revenue will be $12,000.

Warranty Liability will be $40,000

Talarczyk receives $1,000,000 as total price by selling super-spreaders and also receive $12,000 by selling extended warranties which is also an unearned warranty revenue, that means,

Cash=Totalprice+Unearnedwarrantyrevenue=$1,000,000+$12,000=$1,012,000

Question: P18-8 (LO2,3) (Time Value, Gift Cards, Discounts) Presented below are two independent revenue arrangements for Colbert Company.

Instructions

Respond to the requirements related to each revenue arrangement.

(a) Colbert sells 3D printer systems. Recently, Colbert provided a special promotion of zero-interest financing for 2 years on any new 3D printer system. Assume that Colbert sells Lyle Cartright a 3D system, receiving a \(5,000 zero-interest bearing note on January 1, 2017. The cost of the 3D printer system is \)4,000. Colbert imputes a 6% interest rate on this zero-interest note transaction. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale on January 1, 2017, and compute the total amount of revenue to be recognized in 2017.

Allee Corp evaluates a revenue arrangement to determine proper revenue recognition. The contract is for the construction of 10 speedboats for a contract price of \(400,000. The customer needs the boats in its showrooms by February 1, 2018, for the boat purchase season; the customer provides a bonus payment of \)21,000 if all ships are delivered by the February 1 deadline. The bonus is reduced by $7,000 each week that the boats are delivered after the deadline until no compensation is paid if the ships are provided after February 15, 2018. Allee frequently includes such bonus terms in its contracts and thus has good historical data for estimating the probabilities of completion at different dates. It calculates an equal likelihood (25%) for each delivery outcome. What approach should Allee use to determine the transaction price for this contract? Explain.

(Recognition of Profit on Long-Term Contracts) During 2017, Nilsen Company started a construction job with a contract price of \(1,600,000. The job was completed in 2019. The following information is available.

2017 2018 2019

Costs incurred to date \)400,000 \(825,000 \)1,070,000

Estimated costs to complete 600,000 275,000 –0–

Billings to date 300,000 900,000 1,600,000

Collections to date 270,000 810,000 1,425,000

Instructions

(a) Compute the amount of gross profit to be recognized each year, assuming the percentage-of-completion method is used.

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.

Ismail Construction enters into a contract to design and build a hospital.
