Exercise 12-3
Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $ 240,438 . The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:
| Year | 1 | $ 390,900 | ||
| 2 | 399,800 | |||
| 3 | 410,100 | |||
| 4 | 425,400 | |||
| 5 | 434,000 | |||
| 6 | 434,900 | |||
| 7 | 436,400 |
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the
declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is
expected to be $ 379,100 . This new equipment would require
maintenance costs of $ 94,000 at the end of the fifth year. The
cost of capital is 9%.

With our understanding of revenue recognition lets see how we might apply the 5 step model to the following transaction that most of us have encountered. Lets say we visit our favorite phone store and sign up for new cell service. We sign up for and receive a new phone that would normally retail for $500 (cost to manufacture $380). We commit to a three year contract where we will have to pay back an amount that starts at $600 (to pay for the phone) but drops each month until it reaches zero at the end of 3 years (kind of like financing for the phone). We pay an activation fee of $35 along with the first month of service that will be $70 each month for the next 36 months. After one year of service, we will be eligible for $100 off the latest phone if we trade in the one year old phone for a new one. That rises to $200 after two years. You can describe how to apply the 5 step model to this transaction from the phone company side. Show journal entries when necessary to make sure this gets recorded (you do not have to show all of them just enough to get the idea).
