Question

Assume that Amazon sells the MacBook Pro, a computer produced by Apple, for a retail price of $1,500. Amazon arranges its operations such that customers receive products directly from Apple Stores rather than Amazon. Customers purchase from Amazon using credit cards, and Amazon forwards cash to Apple equal to the retail price minus a $150 commission that Amazon keeps. In this arrangement, how much revenue will Amazon recognize for the sale of one MacBook Pro?

Answer 1

Answer: $150

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the journal entry provided will be:

Debit Customer $1500

Credit Account Payable (Apple) $1350

Credit Commission income/Revenue $150

Therefore, the revenue that Amazon will recognize for the sale of one MacBook Pro is $150.
