Question

Kingbird Company sells 290 units of its products for $18 each to Logan Inc. for cash. Kingbird allows Logan to return any unused product within 30 days and receive a full refund. The cost of each product is $11. To determine the transaction price, Kingbird decides that the approach that is most predictive of the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled is the probability-weighted amount. Using the probability-weighted amount, Kingbird estimates that (1) 10 products will be returned and (2) the returned products are expected to be resold at a profit.

Required:
a. Indicate the amount of Net sales.
b. Indicate the amount of estimated liability for refunds.

Answer 1

Kingbird Company

a. The amount of Net Sales = $5,040.

b. The amount of the estimated liability for refunds = $180

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units of products sold to Logan Inc. = 290

Selling price = $18

Sales revenue = $5,220 ($18 * 290)

Cost of each unit = $11

Expected returns = 10/290 = 0.03448

Net sales = $5,220 * (1 - 0.03448)

= $5,040

Estimated liability for refunds = $180 ($5,220 - $5,040)
