Answer:
The company should recognize on July 1st $ 50
Explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Standard price of satellite TV equipment = $ 50
Standard price of 2-year of satellite TV service = $ 450
Time-limited offer for equipment and two years of satellite service = $ 300
Date of sale : July 1st
2. How much revenue should the company recognize on July 1 when it delivers the equipment and receives the full price in cash?
We can use the following formula to find out the answer, this way:
Non-delivered services = Time-limited offer - Standard price of satellite TV equipment
Non-delivered services = 300 - 50 = 250
Revenue recognized or earned = Time-limited offer - Non-delivered services for 2 years
Revenue recognized or earned = 300 - 250
Revenue recognized or earned = $ 50
That is the amount to recognize on July 1st, that is actually the standard price of satellite TV equipment. The $ 250 remaining are deferred revenue, that will be accrued on a monthly basis.
