Ivanhoe Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Ivanhoe also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Ivanhoe enters into the following contract on July 1, 2020, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,370 and chooses Ivanhoe to do the installation. Ivanhoe charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $590. The customer pays Ivanhoe $1,920 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,120) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2020, Ivanhoe completes installation on October 15, 2020, and the customer pays the balance due. Prepare the journal entries for Geraths in 2014. Refer to the revenue arrangement: Repeat the requirements, assuming (a) Geraths estimates the standalone value of the installation based on an estimated cost of $400 plus a margin of 20% on cost, and (b) given uncertainty of finding skilled labor, Geraths is unable to develop a reliable estimate for the fair value of the installation.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

July 1, 2020, Contract Price = $2,370

Standalone selling price of window = $1,920

Cost of the window = $1,120

Standalone selling price of installation service = $590

Attributed selling price of installation service = $450 ($590 = $140)

b) Estimated standalone value of the installation = estimated cost + 20% on cost

= $400 + 20%  = $480 ($400 * 1.2)

Separate performance values:

Sale of window = $1,920   = $1,896 ($1,920/$2,400 * $2,370)

Installation =             480   =      474 ($480/$2,400 * $2,370)

Total =                 $2,400  = $2,370

c. If Ivanhoe Windows is unable to develop a reliable estimate for the fair value of the installation, both payments received will be attributed to the Sales Revenue without identifying separate performance values.
