Answer 1

Answer:

The revenue from sales to be recognized by Shaw is $390,000

Explanation:

A) Journal entry to record the sale on January 2, 2017

Date                               Particulars                      Debit        Credit

January 2, 2014      Accounts Receivable         $410,000

                                Sales Revenue                                      $370,000

                                 Unearned Service Rev                         $40,000

Being the recording of sales and unearned service revenue

                                Cost of Goods Sold            $300,000

                                 Inventory of Merchandise                       $300,000

B) Shaw should recognise the following Revenue from Sales to Ricard

Sales Revenue                                                        $370,000

Service Revenue (3/6 x $40,000)                            $20,000

Due to the fact that accounts end March 31st,       $390,000

2017, only 3 months will be accounted for under

service revenue for the year

Therefor the revenue from sales to be recognized by Shaw is $390,000
