Question

An entity enters into a contract with a customer to sell products X, Y, and Z in exchange for $250,000. Control over the products will be transferred to the customer at different points in time. The entity determines that the delivery of each product is a distinct performance obligation. Products X and Y are regularly sold separately and their standalone selling prices of $40,000 and $120,000, respectively, are directly observable. The standalone selling price of product Z of $160,000 was estimated using the adjusted market assessment approach. The entity determined that the discount provided to the customer does not relate to one or more specific products in the contract. What revenue will be recognized by the entity on the sale of product X

Answer 1

B. $31,250

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the revenue that should be recognized by the entity on the sale of product X is shown below;

Here the transaction price should be distributed to the performance obligations.

The sum of the standalone selling price is

= $40,000 + $120,000 + $160,000

= $320,000

And, the standalone selling price is $40,000

Now the revenue that should be recognized is

= $40,000 ÷ $320,000 × $250,000

= $31,250
