Assume the same facts as in E17-19, except that Rix cannot directly observe the stand-alone selling prices of the installation and service contracts. However, Rix has determined that the cost of the installation services is $150 and historical margins relative to cost average 20%. Therefore, Rix estimates the stand-alone selling price of the installation services using an expected cost plus a margin approach.
Rix decides to use an adjusted market assessment approach to estimate the selling price of the service contract. Rased on information obtained from competitors, Rix determines the average selling price of a similar service contract to be $350. Rix believes that it has a higher cost structure than its competitors and that it should increase this estimate by 10% to achieve an acceptable margin.
Required:
- 1. Determine the stand-alone selling price of each good or service.
- 2. How should the transaction price be allocated among the products? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
1.
Ascertain the stand-alone selling price of each good or service.
Explanation of Solution
Stand-alone selling price:
The “stand-alone selling price” is the price at which promised goods and services is sold individually to a customer. If the “stand-alone selling price” is not identifiable, then the company must use its best estimate to sell goods and services separately.
Stand-alone selling price of each good or service:
Good or service | Amount |
Dishwasher | $1,000 |
Installation | (1)$180 |
Service contract | (2)$385 |
Total | $1,565 |

(2)Calculate the stand-alone selling price for service contract:
2.
State the manner in which the transaction price must be allocated among the products.
Explanation of Solution
Transaction price:
Transaction price is the amount of consideration that is estimated by the company to be authorized in exchange, for delivering the promised goods and services to the customer. Transaction price is examined by the seller by analyzing the terms of the contract and the normally conducts of the business
Calculate the transaction price for dishwasher:
Therefore, the transaction price for dishwasher is $895.
Calculate the transaction price for installation:
Therefore, the transaction price for installation is $161.
Calculate the transaction price for service contract:
Therefore, the transaction price for service contract is $344.
Note: $1,600=

- On January 1, 2019, Piper Company entered into an agreement with Save-Mart to sell its most popular product, the gadget. The contract stipulates that the price per unit will decrease as Save-Mart purchases higher volumes of the gadget, as follows: The contract states that Save-Mart pays Piper the unit price based on the current sales volume. Once a volume threshold is reached, the price is retroactively reduced to the applicable price per unit. Based on its past experience with similar contracts, Piper believes that the total sales volume for the year will be 1,800 units and uses the most likely amount approach to estimate variable consideration. In addition, Piper concludes it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty surrounding the variable consideration is resolved. Required: 1. Determine the transaction price per unit that Piper should use to record revenue. 2. Assume that Save-Mart purchases 800 units in the first quarter of 2019 and 900 units in the second quarter of 2019. Prepare Pipers journal entries to record the sales in the first and second quarters. 3. Given the higher than expected sales volume in the first half of the year, Piper increases its estimate of the sales volume to 2,800 units. Prepare the journal entry to record this change in estimate.arrow_forwardor each of the separate revenue contract scenarios 1 through 5, (a) measure the transaction price and (b) determine whether the transaction price is fixed, variable, or some combination of both. 1.

Nakoma Corp. sells product offering a retroactive volume discount on certain cumulative sales volumes as follows: 0 to 500 units cost $10 each; 501 to 1,000 units cost $9 each; 1,001 units and beyond cost $8 each. For Nakoma’s largest customer, Nakoma estimates the likelihood of cumulative purchases for the year as follows: 15% for 400 units, 50% for 800 units, and 35% for 1,200 units.

- On January 1, 2020, Gordon Co. enters into a contract to sell a customer a wiring base and shelving unit that sits on the base in exchange for $3,000.
