After 16 months, Yankee and Albany agree to modify the contract. Yankee reduces the fee for the 8 remaining months to $3,800 per month, and Albany agrees to a 24-month extension at a cost of $3,600 per month. At the time that the contract is modified, Yankee is charging other customers $3,750 per month for the coaching service.

Stengel Co. enters into a 3-year contract to perform maintenance service for Laplante Inc. Laplante promises to pay $100,000 at the beginning of each year (the standalone selling price of the service at contract inception is $100,000 per year). At the end of the second year, the contract is modified and the fee for the third year of service, which reflects a reduced menu of maintenance services to be performed at Laplante locations, is reduced to $80,000 (the standalone selling price of the services at the beginning of the third year is $80,000 per year).

At the end of the contract, Jonas will either give the customer a $24,000 refund or be entitled to an additional $24,000, depending on the level of cost savings. The company believes there is an 80% chance that it will be entitled to an additional $24,000 and a 20% chance it will give a refund of $24,000. In addition, Jonas believes it is probable that a significant reversal of any previously recognized revenue will not occur. The contract performance is determined to be satisfied over time.
Required:
1.
Determine the monthly transaction price that Jonas should use for recording the contract and prepare Jonas’s journal entry at the end of the first month of the contract using the most likely amount approach.
