All amounts are in $
In the given case, Lilah Ltd accepted from its customer 2,000 upfront for the package of initial consultation and telephonic support upto 6 hours per month for 2 years.
In general, it charges $600 for initial consultation and $100 for 6 hours of telephonic support per month.
We have to split the 2,000 amount between two performance obligations. For knowing the consideration for two performance obligation we were given the normal rates charges.
So consideration for initial consultation = $600
Consideration for telephonic support = $2,000 - $600 = $1,400
So consideration per month to be recognised = $1,400/24= $58.33
(In general, we have to discount the cashflow of $100 per month using the effective rate of interest and decide on the present value of such Cashflows and take it as consideration for performance obligation)
Initial in person consultatio = $600
Ongoing telephonic support = $1,400
Monthly telephonic support income to recognise = $58.33
Accounting journal entry
On 30th September
Cash a/c $2,000
To Revenue a/c $600
To Deferred revenue a/c $1400
(The revenue received is recognised as sales belonging to upfront consultation and the remaining revenue is deferred)
Monthly revenue recognition
Deferred revenue a/c $1,400
To Service revenue a/c $58.33
(Telephone support service for the month recognised)
So for the year ending 30th June the total revenue to be recognised for the year is $525 (58.33 x 9 months)
Deferred revenue a/c $525
To Service revenue a/c $525
(Telephone revenue recognition for the year end 30th June is done)
