Question

ABC Ranch & Farm is a distributor of ranch and farm equipment. Its products range from small

tools, power equipment for trench-digging and fencing, grain dryers, and bar winches. Most
products are sold direct via its company catalogue and internet site. However, given some of its
speciality products, select farm implement stores carry ABC's products. Pricing and cost
information on three of ABC's most popular products are as follows
Item
Mini - trencher
Power fence hole auger
Grain/hay dryer
Standalone selling Price (Cost)
$3,600 (S2,000)
1,200 ($800)
14.000 ($11,000)
Respond to the requirements related to the following independent revenue arrangements for ABC
Ranch and Farm
a. On January 1,2019 ABC sells 40 augers to Mills Farm & Fleet for $48,000. Mills signs a
6-month note at an annual interest rate of 12%. ABC allows Mills to return any auger that
it cannot use within 60 days and receive a full refund. Based on prior experience, ABC
estimates that 5% of units sold to customers like Mills will be returned (using the most
likely outcome approach). ABC's costs to recover the products will be immaterial and the
returned augers are expected to be resold at a profit
Required: Prepare the journal entry for ABC on January 1,2019. (6marks)
b. On August 10,2019 ABC sells 16 mini trenchers to a farm co-op in westem Minnesota
ABC provides a 4% volume discount on the mini trenchers if the co-op has a 15% increase
in purchases from ABC compared to the prior year. Given the slowdown in the farm
economy, sales to the co-op have been flat, and it is highly uncertain that the benchmark
will be met
Required: Prepare the journal entry for ABC on August 10,2019, (4 marks)
c. ABC sells three grain/hay dryers to a local farmer at a total contract price of $45,200. In
addition to the dryers ABC provides installation which has a standalone selling price of
$1,000 per unit installed. The contract payment also includes a $1,200 maintenance plan
for the dryers for 3 years after installation. ABC signs the contract on June 20, 2019 and
receives a 20% down payment from the farmer. The dryers are delivered and installed on
October 1 2019 and full payment is made to ABC
Required: Prepare the journal entries for ABC in 2019 related to this arrangement.​

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Data and Calculations:

Item Standalone selling

Price (cost)

Mini -trencher $3,600 ($2,000)

Power fence hole auger $1,200 ($800)

Grain/ Hay dryer $14,000 ($11,000)

Sale of grain/hay dryers: Allocation of Contract

Price of $45,200

Sale revenue $14,000 * 3 = $42,000 $41,091 (42,000/46,200 * 45,200)

Installation fee $1,000 * 3 = 3,000 2,935 (3,000/46,200 * 45,200)

Maintenance fee for 3 years 1,200 1,174 (1,200/46,200 * 45,200)

Total $46,200 $45,200

June 20, Down payment ($45,200 * 20%) = $9,040

October 1, Full payment ($45,200 * 80%) = $36,160

Total payment $45,200

Maintenance fee:

Deferred Revenue (1,174*33/36) = $1,076

Maintenance fee revenue (1,174* 3/36) = $98
