The following information applies to the questions displayed below. Wilson Links Products sells a product that involves two separate performance obligations: the SwingRight golf club weight and the SwingCoach teaching software. SwingRight has a stand-alone selling price of $150. Wilson sells both the SwingRight and the SwingCoach as a package deal for $200. The SwingCoach software is not sold separately. Wilson is aware that other vendors charge $100 for similar software, and Wilson's prices are generally 10% lower than what is charged by those vendors. Wilson estimates that it incurs approximately $65 of cost per copy of the software, and usually charges 50% above cost on similar products. -Estimate the stand-alone selling price of the software using the adjusted market assessment approach.

Which of the following is considered a performance obligation?

In franchise arrangements, the franchisor's performance obligations are not separately identifiable, so revenue must be recognized over time.

Companies always recognize revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers for the amount the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

In which of the following is the option described not a performance obligation?

A rationale for recognizing revenue over the life of a contract rather than at a single point in time is that:

Romano Services provides room cleaning arrangements for hotels in Ohio. On April 1, Silvia Hotels & Resorts signed an agreement to outsource its room cleaning functions to Romano. The contract specifies the service fee to be $15,000 per month, and all payments are to be made shortly after the end of each quarter. It also specifies that Romano will receive an additional quarterly bonus of $3,000, if during that quarter, Silvia receives no more than five complaints from customers about room cleanliness. • On April 1, based on historical experience, Romano estimated that there is a 75% chance that it will earn the quarterly bonus. • On May 5, Romano learned that, during March, there were two complaints from customers related to room cleanliness. Based on this new information, Romano revised its estimate downward to 40% that it would earn the quarterly bonus. • On June 30, Silvia notified Romano that, for the quarter ended, there were four complaints associated with room cleanliness, so Romano would receive the bonus. Two days later, Romano received all payments due for all services rendered in the second quarter, including the bonus. Romano bases estimates of variable consideration on the expected value of the consideration it expects to -Prepare Romano's June 30 and July 2 journal entries to record additional service revenue earned, as well as any necessary adjustments to revenue and receipt of payment from Silvia.

Bria Furniture sells bed frames and mattresses. One of its products is a premium therapeutic bed set produced by OmniSleep, which comes with a mattress and a bed frame. Bria offers a package consisting of the mattress, the frame, and on-site installation by its staff. All of these components can be sold separately, as often done by other vendors, so Bria concludes that these are separate performance obligations. Bria sells the OmniSleep package for $3,000. The mattress and the frame are sold separately for $2,000 and $900, respectively. Other vendors in the same area typically charge $200 for on-site installation. Bria does not sell on-site installation separately. On average, the prices charged by Bria are 10% higher than those of its competitors. Bria estimates that it incurs about $100 of compensation and other costs to provide the installation service. The profit margin over cost is estimated to be approximately 35%. Required: Estimate the stand-alone selling price of the installation service using (a) the adjusted market assessment approach, (b) the expected cost plus margin approach, and (c) the residual approach.

Brunetti's contract specifies that it will receive a flat fee of $15,000 for providing the customized signs, and an additional $1,000 if 30% of Di Antonio's new customers indicate they first learned of Di Antonio because of the signs. Based on historical experience, Brunetti estimates that there is a 90% chance it will achieve the threshold to receive a bonus. -Assuming Brunetti uses the most likely value to estimate the variable consideration, calculate the transaction price.
