Question

On December 15, 2018, Rigsby Sales Co. sold a tract of land that cost $3,200,000 for $5,000,000. Rigsby appropriately uses the installment sales method of accounting for this transaction. Terms called for a down payment of $460,000 with the balance in two equal annual installments payable on December 15, 2019, and December 15, 2020. Ignore interest charges. Rigsby has a December 31 year-end. In its December 31, 2018, balance sheet, Rigsby would report:

Installment receivables (net) of $2,905,600.

Realized gross profit of $165,600.

Installment receivables (net) of $4,540,000.

Deferred gross profit of $165,600.

Answer 1

Instalment receivables (net) of $2,905,600 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Instalment Receivables ($5,000,000 - $460,000) = $4,540,000

Deferred gross profit ($1,800,000 - $165,600) = $1,634,400

Instalment Receivables (Net) = $2,905,600
