Question

Macrovision sells a variety of satellite TV packages. The popular $600 Basic Package includes a hardware component (consisting of a satellite dish and receiver) along with a twelve-month subscription to 130 TV channels. Macrovision sells the hardware component without a subscription for $180, and sells a twelve-month subscription to the same 130 channels without hardware for $540/year. Let’s account for the sale of one Basic Package for $600 on January 1, 2018. Required: 1. Identify the performance obligations in the Basic Package contract, and determine when revenue for each should be recognized. 2. For the single Basic Package sold on January 1, 2018, allocate the $600 transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and prepare a journal entry to record the sale (ignoring any entry to record the reduction in inventory and the corresponding cost of goods sold). 3. Prepare any journal entry necessary to record revenue related to the same contract on January 31, 2018.
