Journal entry for July month is as follows:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Post Ref. | Debit | Credit |
2018 | Cash ($135,000×80%) | $108,000 | ||

Deferred revenue – purchased product (5) | $121,500 | |||
Deferred revenue – loyalty point (6) | $13,500 | |||
(To record service performed) |
Table (1)
Explanation of Solution
- Cash is an asset, and it increases the value of asset by $108,000, hence debit the cash for $108,000.
- Accounts receivable is an asset, and it increases the value of asset by $27,000, hence debit the accounts receivable for $27,000.
- Deferred revenue – purchased product is a liability, and it increases the value of liability by $121,500, hence credit the deferred revenue for $121,500.
- Deferred revenue – loyalty point is a liability, and it increases the value of liability by $13,500, hence credit the deferred revenue for $13,500.
Working notes:
1. Calculate the stand-alone selling price of purchased product:
Given,
Value of the loyalty point is $25,000 ($125,000×20%)
Estimated redemption is 60%.
Now, calculate the stand-alone selling price of purchased product:
Stand-alone selling price of purchased product}=(Value of the discount ×Estimated redemption)=$25,000×60%=$15,000 (1)
2. Calculate the total stand-alone price:
Given,
The stand-alone selling price of purchased product is $135,000
Calculated stand-alone selling price of loyalty point is $15,000 (1)
Now, calculate the total stand-alone price:
Total stand-alone price }=(Stand−alone selling price purchased product + Stand−alone selling price of discount)=$135,000+$15,000=$150,000 (2)
3. Calculate the purchased product percentage:
Given,
Calculated stand-alone selling price of purchased product is $15,000 (1)
Stand-alone selling price of loyalty point is $135,000.
Now, calculate the purchased product percentage:
Purchased product=Stand−alone selling price of purchased product (Stand−alone selling price of purchased product + Stand−alone selling price of loyalty point )=$15,000 ($15,000 +$135,000)=$15,000$150,000=10% (3)
4. Calculate the loyalty point’s percentage:
Given,
Calculated stand-alone selling price of purchased product is $15,000 (1)
Stand-alone selling price of loyalty point is $135,000.
Now, calculate the loyalty point’spercentage:
Loyalty point=Stand−alone selling price of purchased product (Stand−alone selling price of purchased product + Stand−alone selling price of loyalty point )=$135,000 ($15,000 +$135,000)=$135,000$15,000=90% (4)
5. Calculate the selling price of purchased product:
Given,
The transaction price is $135,000
Calculated purchased product percentageis 10%.
Now, calculate the sellingprice of purchased product:
Selling price of purchased product=(Transaction price × Discount percentage )=$135,000×10%=$13,500 (5)
6. Calculation of selling price of loyalty points:
Given,
Transaction price is $135,000
Calculated loyalty points percentageis 90%.
Now, calculate the sellingprice of loyalty points:
Selling price of loyalty points =(Transaction price × Keyboards percentage )=$135,000×90%=$121,500 (6)

Answer to Problem 5.4P
Journal entry for August month is as follows:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Post Ref. | Debit | Credit |
Cash ($60,000×75%×80%) | $36,000 | |||

Deferred revenue – coupon book | $10,800 | |||
Sales revenue | $58,800 | |||
(To record service performed) |
Table (2)
Explanation of Solution
- Cash is an asset, and it increases the value of asset by $36,000, hence debit the cash for $36,000.
- Accounts receivable is an asset, and it increases the value of asset by $12,000, hence debit the accounts receivable for $12,000.
- Deferred revenue – purchased product is a liability, and it decreases the value of liability by $10,800, hence credit the deferred revenue for $10,800.
- Deferred revenue – loyalty point is a liability, and it increases the value of liability by $58,800, hence credit the deferred revenue for $58,800.
Working notes:
Calculate the value of deferred revenue
Given,
Calculated selling price of purchased product is $13,500
Revenue recognized percentage is 80%.
Now, calculate the deferred revenue:
Deferred revenue =(Selling price of purchased product× Revenue recognized percentage)=$13,500×80%=$10,800 (7)
Therefore, the journal entry for sales made in the month of August by S Club is recorded.
