Answer 1

Question 1, Part a & b

Yes, both the obligations i.e. providing gym membership and voucher for yoga classes is a separate performance obligation.

Allocation of contract price:

First we find onvremental value of the offer. That is Rate of Yoga Classes less Discount i.e. 30-10=20%.

Therefore, selling price of yoga couoan would be 450 x 20% = $ 90. Likelihood of them is 50% therefore final Selling Price would be $ 45.

The standalone price of annual membership is $ 1455. Therefore gym will provide allocation of 1400x45/1500 = $ 42 to discount voucher. Thus allocation to membership fees would be $ 1358.
