Geraths Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Geraths also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Geraths enters into the following contract on July 1, 2022, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,400 and chooses Geraths to do the installation. Geraths charges the same price for the windows whether it does the installation, or not. The customer pays Geraths $2,000 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, at a cost of $1,100) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2022, Geraths completes installation on October 15, 2022, and the customer pays the balance due. Assuming that (a) Geraths estimates the standalone selling price of the installation based on an estimated cost of $400 plus a margin of 20% on installation cost, and that (b) given the uncertainty of finding skilled labor, Geraths is unable to develop a reliable estimate for the standalone selling price of the installation. (Round amounts to nearest dollar.) Prepare the journal entries for Geraths in 2022
