Company S signs several purchase contracts in 2022. Under the terms of one contract, Company S will take delivery of the inventory, sold on account, in 2023 and pay a price of $629,000 to Company R. The fair value of the inventory at the company's December 31, 2022 year end declines to $529,000. Company S does not expect to be able to recover its additional costs. Assume that the fair value remains at $529,000 until the goods are delivered. Is this an onerous contract in 2022? If so, why? Show journal entries for 2022 and 2023.
