Required Questions in the next flashcard
Required:
1. Identify the performance obligations in the Basic Package contract,
and determine when revenue for each should be recognized.
2. For the single Basic Package sold on January 1, 2024, allocate the
$600 transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract,
and prepare a journal entry to record the sale (ignoring any entry to
record the reduction in inventory and the corresponding cost of goods
sold).
3. Prepare any journal entry necessary to record revenue related to
the same contract on January 31, 2024. - ANSWER -1. Hardware
component (revenue should be recognized at a point in time) and
, 12 month subscription (revenue should be recognized over time. 2.
($180/($180/$540))=.25 or 25% for hardware component so
subscription must be 75% since only two performance obligations.
So ANSWER is $600*.25=$150 hardware and $600*.75=$450
subscription.
Journal entry would be debit cash $600, credit sales rev (hardware)
150 and deferred revenue (subscription) 450
3. Debit deferred rev ($450/12) = 37.50 credit service rev 37.50
