Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Percentage-of-Completion Method

As a corporation approaches the end of a long-term contract, the percentage-of-completion technique is used to calculate revenues, expenditures, and gross profit. Deferring recognition of these items until the contract's end distorts the effort (costs) and outcomes of the accounting periods (revenues).

Tyler Financial Services performs bookkeeping and tax-reporting services to startup companies in the Oconomowoc area. On January 1, 2017, Tyler entered into a 3-year service contract with Walleye Tech. Walleye promises to pay \(10,000 at the beginning of each year, which at contract inception is the standalone selling price for these services. At the end of the second year, the contract is modified and the fee for the third year of services is reduced to \)8,000. In addition, Walleye agrees to pay an additional $20,000 at the beginning of the third year to cover the contract for 3 additional years (i.e., 4 years remain after the modification). The extended contract services are similar to those provided in the first 2 years of the contract.

Instructions

(a) Prepare the journal entries for Tyler in 2017 and 2018 related to this service contract.

(b) Prepare the journal entries for Tyler in 2019 related to the modified service contract, assuming a prospective approach.

(c) Repeat the requirements for part (b), assuming Tyler and Walleye agree on a revised set of services (fewer bookkeeping services but more tax services) in the extended contract period and the modification results in a separate performance obligation.

(Allocate Transaction Price, Modification of Contract) Refer to the Tablet Bundle A revenue arrangement in P18-1. In response to competitive pressure for Internet access for Tablet Bundle A, after 2 years of the 3-year contract, Tablet Tailors offers a modified contract and extension incentive. The extended contract services are similar to those provided in the first 2 years of the contract. Signing the extension and paying $90 (which equals the standalone selling of the revised Internet service package) extends access for 2 more years of Internet connection. Forty Tablet Bundle A customers sign up for this offer.

Instructions

(a) Prepare the journal entries when the contract is signed on January 2, 2019, for the 40 extended contracts. Assume the modification does not result in a separate performance obligation.
