The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is the agency responsible for licensing both drivers and vehicles in the state of Nevada. Until recently, legacy systems were used for both licensing needs. The legacy system for driver’s licenses maintained the following information about each licensed driver: name, age, address, violation, license classification, organ donation, and restrictions. The vehicle licensing system maintained information about each vehicle, including cost, taxes, vehicle identification number (VIN), weight, insurance, and ownership. In the summer of 1999, over a 3-day weekend, information from the two legacy systems was transferred to a new ERP. The ERP and all new hardware were installed in every DMV across the state, and when employees returned from their long weekend, an entirely new system was in place. The DMV employees were not well trained on the new system, and the system itself presented a few bugs. As a result of these obstacles, customers at the DMV…

Methods: Predefined time allocation categories for the pharmacy resident were used to consistently classify and document time completing residency activities. Benefit-to-cost ratio was determined by tabulating total costs and total benefits of the residency program. A retrospective-prospective comparison of overall change in revenue, operating expense, and prescription volume was performed between the preresident time period (July 2012 to June 2013) and the postresident time period (July 2013 to June 2014).

- 11.arrow_forwardBlackmon Company provides locator services to the city transportation departments. Blackmons service involves installing a dedicated hardware transmitter in each city bus. This transmitter provides real-time information to a central logistics center that provides a manager with detailed information as to bus location, speed, current weather, and traffic patterns. The manager can then reroute buses to improve efficiency of operations and increase customer satisfaction. Customers generally sign two separate contracts: one contract governs the sale of the hardware devices, while the second governs the provision of the locator services. On January 1, 2019, a customer purchased Blackmons service by signing a contract for 100 devices for 480,000, the normal selling price. In addition, the customer signed a separate 12-month service contract for 2,000 per month (20 per month per unit, which is the standard selling price for the service). This amount is billed on a monthly basis, and the customer pays for January service on January 31, 2019. The hardware device can only be used with Blackmons services and there are currently no other competitors making devices that work with the Blackmon service. The customer may cancel at any time; however, the amount paid for the device is nonrefundable. The customer is given the right to renew the service contract at the existing rate each December, and the average life of a customer contract is 5 years. The customer takes delivery of the device on January 1, 2019, and begins the locator service on that date. Required: 1. Identify the contract(s) for accounting purposes. 2. How many performance obligations exist? When will the performance obligation(s) be satisfied? 3. Prepare Blackmons journal entries for January 2019. 4. Assume that other competitors sell a similar locator service comparable to Blackmons.
