Expert Solution

Solution:-

1. How should Loud account for this contract modification?

Given information,

The unlimited talk and 2 GB data plan is priced = $55 per month

Unlimited talk and 2 GB data plan for the remaining term of the contract = 18 months

Customer pays for smart phone = $299

  • Here, we need to calculate the contract modification.

Contract modification = 2 GB data plan + Customer pays for smart phone

Where ,

Total cash collected in 18 months for 2 GB data plan = number of months * cash per month

= 18 * 55

= $990

Total cash collected in 18 months for 2 GB data plan = $990

Contract modification = 990 + 299

= $1,289

Contract modification =  $1,289

Contract modification =  $1,289

2. Provide Loud’s new monthly revenue recognition journal entry:-

Date Particulars Debit Credit
January 1, 2017 Cash

= $55 + $12.458

= $67.458

Contract receivable

= 900 / 18 months

= $55

Sales revenue

= 299 / 2 years

= 299 / 24 months

= $12.458
