Rocky Guide Service provides guided 1–5 day hiking tours throughout the Rocky Mountains. Wilderness Tours hires Rocky to lead various tours that Wilderness sells. Rocky receives $1,900 per tour day, and shortly after the end of each month Rocky learns whether it will receive a $190 bonus per tour day it guided during the previous month if its service during that month received an average evaluation of "excellent" by Wilderness customers. The $1,900 per day and any bonus due are paid in one lump payment shortly after the end of each month.

  • On July 1, based on prior experience, Rocky estimated there is a 40% chance it will earn the bonus for July tours. It guided a total of 10 days from July 1–July 15.
  • On July 16, based on Rocky’s view that it had provided excellent service during the first part of the month, Rocky revised its estimate to an 90% chance it would earn the bonus for July tours. Rocky also guided customers for 15 days from July 16–July 31.
  • On August 5 Rocky learned it did not receive an average evaluation of “excellent” for its July tours, so it would not receive any bonus for July, and received all payment due for the July tours.

Rocky bases estimates of variable consideration on the expected value it expects to receive.

1.) Prepare Rocky's July 15 journal entry to record revenue for tours given from July 1 - July 15

2.) Prepare Rocky's July 31 journal entry to record revenue for tours given from July 16 - July 31 and any adjustment needed for July 1 – July 15

3.) Prepare Rocky's August 5 journal entry to record the receipt of payment from Wilderness

4.) Prepare Rocky's August 5 journal entry to record any necessary adjustments to revenue

1. On January 1, 2020, Riverbed signed an agreement to operate as a franchisee of Copy Service Inc., for an initial franchise fee of $75,000. Of this amount, $35,000 was paid when the agreement was signed and the balance is payable in four annual payments of $10,000 each, beginning January 1, 2022. The agreement provides that the down payment is not refundable and no future services are required of the franchisor. The present value at January 1, 2020, of the four annual payments discounted at 7% (the implicit rate for a loan of this type) is $33,872. The agreement also provides that 5% of the franchisee’s revenue must be paid to the franchisor each year. The franchisor requires that Riverbed provide it with some form of assurance verifying the revenue amount used to determine the 5% payment. Riverbed’s revenue from the franchise for 2020 was $760,000. Riverbed estimates that the franchise’s useful life will be 10 years.
2. Riverbed incurred $45,000 in experimental costs in its laboratory to develop a patent, and the patent was granted on January 2, 2020. Legal fees and other costs of patent registration totalled $13,600. Riverbed estimates that the useful life of the patent will be 6 years.
3. A trademark was purchased from Shanghai Company for $28,700 on July 1, 2017. The legal costs to successfully defend the trademark totalled $8,160 and were paid on July 1, 2020. Riverbed estimates that the trademark’s useful life will be 14 years from the acquisition date.

Assume that Riverbed reports using ASPE. Prepare a schedule showing the intangible assets section of Riverbed’s statement of financial position at December 31, 2020. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275. Enter account name only and do not provide descriptive information.)

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 61 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:

Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per
Student
Instructor wages $ 2,960
Classroom supplies $ 300
Utilities $ 1,230 $ 75
Campus rent $ 4,900
Insurance $ 2,400
Administrative expenses $ 3,600 $ 44 $ 7

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,600 per month plus $44 per course plus $7 per student. The company’s sales should average $900 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 61 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 55 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

Actual
Revenue $ 52,000
Instructor wages $ 11,120
Classroom supplies $ 18,150
Utilities $ 1,940
Campus rent $ 4,900
Insurance $ 2,540
Administrative expenses $ 3,629

Required:

Prepare a flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for September. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
