Supply Club, Inc., sells a variety of paper products, office
supplies, and other products used by businesses and individual
consumers. During July 2018 it started a loyalty program through
which qualifying customers can accumulate points and redeem those
points for discounts on future purchases. Redemption of a loyalty
point reduces the price of one dollar of future purchases by 20%
(equal to 20 cents). Customers do not earn additional loyalty
points for purchases on which loyalty points are redeemed. Based on
past experience, Supply Club estimates a 75% probability that any
point issued will be redeemed for the discount. During July 2018,
the company records $132,000 of revenue and awards 220,000 loyalty
points. The aggregate stand-alone selling price of the purchased
products is $132,000. Eighty percent of sales were cash sales, and
the remainder were credit sales.
Required:
1. & 2. Prepare Supply Club’s journal entry to
record July and August sales. During August, customers redeem
loyalty points on $132,000 of merchandise. Seventy-five percent of
those sales were for cash, and the remainder were credit sales.
(Do not round intermediate calculations. If no entry is
required for a particular transaction/event, select "No journal
entry required" in the first account field.)
