ANSWER:

a)

The amount $1,200 is included in the 2019 gross income.

Explanation :-

The advance payment received in 2018 but the good not delivered in 2018 .The Good is delivered in 2019 And the sale was reported in 2019 for financial accounting purposes.

Thus, $1200 will include in 2019 gross income.

b)

The amount $ 330 is included in the 2019 gross income.

Explanation :-

For 6 month service contract: Drake will include $120 ($240 x 3/6) in 2019 gross income and $120 in 2020 gross income.As Company sold six month service contract in October 2019 .Thus in 2019 gross income ,only 3 month service contract is included.

For 36-month service contract: Drake will include $210 (=$1260 × 6/36) in 2019 gross income. The remaining balance will not be all performed by the end of the tax year of receipt as the service was sold for 36 month .So the remaining balance ie. $1,050 (=$ 1,260 - $210 ) is included in 2020 gross income.

Therefore ,Total gross income included in 2019 = Gross Income of 6 month service contract + Gross income of 36 month service contract.

Total gross income included in 2019 = $120 + $210 = $330

c)

The Amount $ 1,200 is included in gross receipts and $450 is the Gross Profit

Explanation :-

On December 31, 2019, the company sold an appliance for $1,200. Therefore , Gross receipts is $ 1,200 as appliance was sale at that rate.

Interest of $260 to be paid at the rate of $40 a month for 24 months.So it will not included in the Gross income of 2019 it will include in gross income of 2020.

If we subtract the cost of appliance from sale price of appliance we get Gross Income of 2019

Gross income of 2019 = $1,200 - $750 = $450

The fair market value of the note was only $600 has no effect on taxpayer gross income.
