Carla Vista Company manufactures equipment. Carla Vista’s products range from simple automated machinery to complex systems containing numerous components. Unit selling prices range from $235,000 to $1,620,000, and are quoted inclusive of installation. The installation process does not involve changes to the features of the equipment to perform to specifications. Carla Vista has the following arrangement with Winkerbean Inc.

Winkerbean purchases equipment from Carla Vista on May 2, 2020, for a price of $1,100,000 and contracts with Carla Vista to install the equipment. Carla Vista charges the same price for the equipment irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. Using market data, Carla Vista determines that the installation service is estimated to have a fair value of $60,000. The cost of the equipment is $600,000.
Winkerbean is obligated to pay Carla Vista the $1,060,000 upon delivery of the equipment and the balance on the completion of the installation


Carla Vista delivers the equipment on June 1, 2020, and completes the installation of the equipment on September 30, 2020. Assume that the equipment and the installation are two distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately.

a) Prepare any journal entries for Carla Vista on May 2, June 1, and September 30, 2020.

Rare earths were discovered at Europium on 17th January 2020. In April 2020 after a review of the prospects for the Gadolinium site it was decided to abandon operations there. Exploration was still a work in progress at the Terbium site, but no decision had been made about the commercial potential of that site. Development of the Europium site had continued during the year and at 30th June 2020 $36 million had been incurred. These costs are to be written off on a production basis.

This cost relates to the construction of plant and equipment. It is estimated that there are 150,000 tonnes of rare earth which has a current sale price of $3,500 per tonne. By the 30th June 2020 15,000 tonnes had been extracted at a production cost of $6 million of which 12,000 tonnes were sold.
