Question

Entity A sold Product C to Entity B for many years. In order to expand its market, recently, Entity A promoted a new product, i.e. Product D. On 1 January 2020, Entity A sold 20,000 units of Product D to Entity B at a price of $88 per unit. Cash was received when control of products transferred to Entity B.

According to the contract between Entity A and Entity B, Entity A agreed with Entity B returning unused products at full price within 2 months, i.e. on or before 29 February 2020.  The costs of each Product C and Product D are $55 and $48 respectively.

Entity A learnt much experience in selling Product C with different customers and estimated that 6% of Product C was commonly returned by Entity B. However, Product D is a new product, therefore Entity A did not have such experience on selling Product D. Based on the good business relationship with Entity B, Entity A estimated the return rate of Product D as a triple of the return rate of Product C.

On 29 February 2020, Entity B returned 1,600 units of Product D to Entity A. Due to a cash shortage, Entity A only repaid $50,000 back to Entity B and promised to settle the unpaid balance on or before 31 March 2020. Finally, Entity A only settled 80% of the unpaid balance on 31 March 2020.
