Explanation of Solution
Revenue recognition by Companies:
Companies must recognise revenues to represent the “Transmission of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration” to which the entity anticipates to be authorized in exchange for those good and services.
Journal entry is a set of economic events which can be measured in monetary terms. These are recorded chronologically and systematically.
Accounting rules for Journal entries:
- To record increase balance of account: Debit assets, expenses, losses and credit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.
- To record decrease balance of account: Credit assets, expenses, losses and debit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.
Prepare journal entries:

Table (1)
To record the sale of watch during January 2017:
- Cash is an asset and it is increased. Therefore, debit cash account by $7,500.
- Sales revenue is a component of
stockholders’ equity and it is increased. Therefore, credit sales revenue account by $7,500.
To record the sale of watch during February2017:
- Cash is an asset and it is increased. Therefore, debit cash account by $5,000.
- Sales revenue is a component of stockholders’ equity and it is increased. Therefore, credit sales revenue account by $5,000.
To record the sale of watch during March 2017:

Explanation of Solution
The modification does not create a “separate contract and a prospective approach “is used to account for the modification, Since the additional watches are distinct, but the price does not reflect the stand-alone selling price. The remaining consideration is$13,200 (4,400 (8) × 3 years) which is allocated over the remaining 3-year contract period at an amount of $220 (13,200 ÷ 60 watches) per watch. Even though the customer will be billed according to the sales prices recognized by the contracts, Company F will recognize revenue using the prospective method. Consequently, Company F will make the following entries to record the sale of the watches:
Date | Account title and explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
April,2017 | Cash(6) | 5,000 | |
Sales revenue(8) | 4,400 | ||
Unearned revenue (Balancing figure) | 600 | ||

(To record delivery of watches under the modified contract) | |||
June,2017 | Unearned revenue (Balancing figure) | 300 | |
Cash(7) | 4,100 | ||
Sales revenue(8) | 4,400 | ||
(To record delivery of watches under the modified contract) |

To record delivery of watches under the original contract during April, 2017:
- Cash is an asset and it is increased. Therefore, debit cash account by $5,000.
- Sales revenue is a component of stockholders’ equity and it is increased. Therefore, credit sales revenue account by $4,400.
- Unearned revenue is a liability and it is increased. Therefore, credit unearned revenue account by $600.
To record delivery of watches under the original contract during May, 2017:
- Unearned revenue is a liability and it is decreased. Therefore, debit unearned revenue account by $300.
- Cash is an asset and it is increased. Therefore, debit cash account by $4100.
- Sales revenue is a component of stockholders’ equity and it is increased. Therefore, credit sales revenue account by $4,400.

Explanation of Solution
- “A cumulative catch-up approach “is used to account for the Modification, since the goods are not distinct, the modification does not create a separate contract.
- Total revenues under the original contract and the modification are$24,100 (9) or $241 per watch ($24,100÷100 watches).
- Company Must recognize $19,280 in revenue for the watches it has previously delivered (80 watches× $241). Because it had previously recognized $20,000 (80 watches × $250), it must reduce revenue by $720 ($19,280 – $20,000).
- To be exact, as a result of the contract modification, $9 for each watch formerly sold is now considered to be unearned revenue. Thus, Company F will make the following entry at the time of modification:

Working notes:
(9)Calculate the amount of total revenues under original contract and the modification:
Total revenues under original contract} = [(Watches to be delivered on April 1,2017 × Price per watch )+ (Remaining watches from the original order of 100 watches × price per watch)]= [(80 watches × $250) + (20 watches × $205)]=$20,000+$4,100=$24,100
(10)Calculate the price per watch for 100 watches:
Price per watch for 100 watches = Total revenues under original contractNumber of watches= $24,100 (9)$100=$241
(11)Calculate the revenue recognized for the already delivered 80 watches:
Revenue recognised for 80 watches = Number of watches × Price per watch=80 watches ×$241 (10)=$19,280
(12)Calculate the previously recognized revenue for 80 watches:
Previously recognised revenue for 80 watches = Number of watches × Price per watch=80 watches × $250=$20,000
(13)Calculate the amount of decrease in revenue:
Decrease in revenue = (Previously recognised revenue for 80 watches−Revenue recognised for 80 watches)=$20,000 (12)−$19, 280 (11)=$720
(14)Calculate the amount of unearned revenue during the month of April:
Unearned revenue during the month of April} = Number of watches sold during AprilTotal number of watches× Decrease in revenue= 10 watches20 watches× $720 (13)=$360
(15)Calculate the amount of cash received during the month of April:
Cash = Number of watches × Price per watch= 10 watches × $205=$2,050
(16)Calculate the amount of sales revenue during the month of April:
Sales revenue = Number of watches × Price per watch = 10 watches × $241=$ 2,410
(17)Calculate the amount of unearned revenue during the month of May and June:
Unearned revenue during the month of April} = Number of watches sold during AprilTotal number of watches× Decrease in revenue= 5 watches20 watches× $720 (13)=$180
(18)Calculate the amount of cash received during the month of May and June:
Cash = Number of watches × Price per watch= 5 watches × $205=$1,025
