Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to c

ompete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $93,000 at the end of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $31,000 or will be entitled to an additional $31,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at year-end have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $31,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. At the start of the fifth month, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $31,000. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $29,000.
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entry to record revenue each month for the first four months of the contract.
b. Prepare the journal entry that the Velocity Company would record after four months to recognize the change in estimate associated with the reduced likelihood that the bonus will be received.
c. Prepare the journal entry to record the revenue each month for the second four months of the contract.
d. Prepare the journal entry after eight months to record receipt of the cash bonus.

Answer:

a. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $93,000

Bonus Receivable (Dr.) $2,325

Service Revenue (Cr.) $95,325

b. Service Revenue (Dr.) $9,300

Bonus receivable (Cr.) $9,300

c. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $93,775

Bonus Receivable (Dr.) $775

Service Revenue (Cr.) $93,000

d. Cash (Dr.) $29,000

Bonus Receivable (Cr.) $29,000

Explanation:

The contract between Burger Boy and Velocity is for eight months.

Expected value of the contract on 1st month is :

80% * [ $93,000 * 8 months + $31,000 ] + 20% [ $93,000 * 8 months - $31,000] = $762,600

The expected value per month is $762,600 / 8 months = $95,325 per month

Expected value of the contract 5th month with revised probability is :

60% * [ $93,000 * 8 months + $31,000 ] + 40% [ $93,000 * 8 months - $31,000] = $750,200

The expected value per month is $750,200 / 8 months = $93,775 per month.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. accounting cycle.

Explanation:

The accounting cycle, also known as the accounting process or registration flow, is the period in which the Company chronologically and reliably records each transaction in its respective Daily Book in order to analyze, prepare and prepare financial information.

The accounting process is made up of all the steps that must be followed since an accounting event occurs until it is introduced into the system and, therefore, is reflected in the financial statements.

The stages of the accounting cycle begin with the identification of the accounting fact, such as with a sale of merchandise. The next step is to generate an accounting document that supports this transaction and allows it to be reflected in quantified accounting in monetary units and with a specific date.

Once this document is generated (delivery note or invoice) the operation is recorded in the Daily Book. At the end of the accounting cycle, which is usually from January to December, the transactions are transferred to the general ledger. After some regularizations (amortizations, reclassifications between short term and long term, calculation of the result, etc.) the accounting is closed to generate the final financial statements.

David ungar holds a dunkin' donuts franchise. The terms of his franchise agreement require him to use only those ingredients fur
Andrej [43]

In a franchise, the franchisor allows the franchisee to  trade under its name and see its products for a fee  The franchisee pays an original fee to franchisor and a percentage of its profit for the privilege.So,since, Dunkin' Doughnuts is sharing its' brand name and image with David Ungar(his franchisee) it would definately want to improve it...at the least maintain it...David too is right on the other hand as there can be a possibility that he wants to use ingredients of a much higher quality than that provided.But dunkin' doughnuts can't still allow to do that as it has other franchisees to look after.Imagine that=>all the franchisees of dunkin' doughnuts use different ingredients with different quality..wouldn't this affects the image of the franchisor...also all the food items they sell will have a different taste depending on the ingredients.And if one of the franchisee buys cheap ingredients... thereby producing low quality out put ..the customers will not be satisfied...this will not only affect that franchisee but also the Brand image of the whole business worldwide.

To conclude,David may not be wrong with his idea but since dunkin' doughnuts is a big business with a good brand image...it has its' terms and requirements.
