Answer:

Aria Perfume, Inc.

There are two performance obligations involved in each sale of a box of soap.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of boxes of white musk soap sold during January 2021 = 3,210

Sales price per box = $90

Performance Obligations:

Sale of box = $87.30 (97%)

Refund for returned boxes = $2.70 (3%)

Total Sales revenue to be accounted for = $280,233

Total refund expense to be accounted for = $8,667

Cash receipts should total = $288,900

b) The performance obligations are for the sale of a box of soap (97%) and refund (3%). With a sales price of $90 per box, the sales obligation should be $87.30 per box, while the refund obligation has $2.70 per box, which must be provided and accounted for separately.
