129) On January 1, 2016, XYZ Inc. delivers a machine to a buyer. The agreed-upon price is $9,000.
Included in this price is a twenty-four-month service contract, which stipulates that the system will
be fixed or replaced if it does not perform to certain specifications and 20 hours of service to
maintain the system over this period. The stand-alone price for the maintenance service is $2,000.
The buyer also opted for the twenty-four-month warranty, which XYZ sells separately for $1,000.
The company also estimates that based on past experience, the warranty costs for defective
machinery should be estimated at $450 per year. During Year 1, 8 hours of service are performed, as
expected, at a cost of $800, and warranty work resulted in expenditures of $300.
Required: Using the above information, provide the journal entries required for 2016, assuming
that XYZ uses the revenue deferral approach to account for its warranties.

134) A construction company entered into a three-year contract to erect a building for a customer. Its
original bid on the job was for $3,600,000 but this was revised upward in year 3 to $3,900,000
because the customer negotiated for some "extras" (modification in the original specifications). A

in progress is set out below. Give the income to be reported (a) using the percentage-of-completion
method, and (b) using the completed contract method.

For each of the independent revenue recognition situations below, determine the net balance in
accounts receivable given the above information, and provide an interpretation of each.
(1) The right of return on the sale has not expired; all criteria of CICA Handbook Sec. 3400 are met
and this item is not expected to be returned.
(2) The right of return on the sale has not expired; not all criteria of CICA Handbook, Sec. 3400 are
met.
(3) The instalment method of revenue recognition is used to account for the sale.
(4) The cost recovery method of revenue recognition is used to account for the sale.
(5) Answer (4) assuming $80 cash has been collected to date.
42
Answer: (1) Net accounts receivable = $100 - $40 = $60. Because all criteria of CICA Handbook, Sec.
3400 are met, and this item is not expected to be returned, the entire sale is recognized. The $60
is that portion of the sales price yet to be collected.
(2) Net accounts receivable = $30, the cost of the item not yet reimbursed. Because not all
criteria of CICA Handbook, Sec. 3400 are met and the right of return privilege has not expired,
the account receivable is shown at $100 - $40 cash collected - $30 gross profit on the sale
(which cannot be recognized at this point). Measurement of the remaining receivable at selling
price would imply recognition of revenue.
(3) Recognized gross profit to date =.30($40) = $12. The remaining $18 of gross profit cannot
be recognized before collection. Net accounts receivable = $100 - $40 - $18 = $42 or $60(1
-.3). This is the amount owed by the customer measured at cost.
(4) No gross profit has been recognized to date as the costs have not been recovered. Therefore,
net accounts receivable equals the cost yet to be reimbursed, $100 - $40 - $30 gross profit =
$30. To this point, the $40 cash plus the $30 net accounts receivable has replaced $70 of
inventory in the balance sheet of the seller.
(5) $10 of gross profit may now be recognized (the excess of $80 cash collected over the $70
cost of the item). $20 of gross profit remains to be recognized. Therefore, net accounts
receivable = $100 - $80 cash collected - $20 gross profit yet to be recognized = $0. The
recognition of the remaining $20 of profit is holding up the recognition of the remaining $20
of asset, until collection. To recognize a net receivable would imply profit recognition before
cash collection, a contradiction of the method. As additional amounts are collected, they will
be recognized as revenue.
149) A firm using the instalment method of revenue recognition repossessed an item it sold for $40,000
(cost $24,000) after the customer stopped remitting cash. Only $26,000 was paid by the customer to
the date of repossession at which time the item is worth only $8,000.
This amount equals the economic gain in (2). Thus the accounting earnings, although they may
be recognized in more than one period, equal the economic value change.

150) Under the percentage of completion method, a company has recognized $40,000 of profit through to
the beginning of the current year on a contract, and total estimated contract cost is $500,000 at that

current year.
Answer:
Contract price $800,000
Total estimated costs 500,000
