Question

TopChop sells hairstyling franchises. TopChop receives $62,000 from a new franchisee for providing initial training, equipment, and furnishings that have a stand-alone selling price of $62,000. TopChop also receives $40,000 per year for use of the TopChop name and for ongoing consulting services (starting on the date the franchise is purchased). Carlos became a TopChop franchisee on July 1, 2021, and on August 1, 2021, had completed training and was open for business. How much revenue in 2021 will TopChop recognize for its arrangement with Carl

Answer 1

$65,332

Explanation:

The computation of revenue in 2021 is shown below:-

Revenue for the year 2021 = New franchisee received + Received by Top chop × (From July 1 to Aug 1 ÷ 2)

= $62,000 + $40,000 × 1 ÷ 2

= $62,000 + $40,000 × 0.5

= $62,000 + $20,000

= $82,000

Therefore, the revenue recognized for its arrangement is $82,000 and the new franchisee fee instantly recorded as an income
