Presented below and on page 946 are three independent revenue arrangements for Colbert Company.

Instructions Respond to the requirements related to each revenue arrangement.

(a) Colbert sells 3-D printer systems. Recently, Colbert provided a special promotion of zero-interest financing for 2 years on any new 3-D printer system. Assume that Colbert sells Lyle Cartright a 3-D system receiving a £5,000 zero-interest-bearing note on January 1, 2015. The cost of the 3-D printer system is £4,000. Colbert imputes a 6% interest rate on this zero-interest-bearing note transaction.

Prepare the journal entry to record the sale on January 1, 2015, and compute the total amount of revenue to be recognized in 2015.

(b) Colbert sells 20 non-refundable £100 gift cards for 3-D printer paper on March 1, 2015. The paper has a standalone selling price of £100 (cost £80). The gift cards expiration date is June 30, 2015.
Colbert estimates that customers will not redeem 15% of these gift cards. The pattern of redemption is as follows.

Prepare the 2015 journal entries related to the gift cards at March 1, March 31, April 30, and June 30.

(c) Colbert sells 3-D printers along with a number of retail items. The package price and standalone selling prices of each item are as follows

Due to the timing of delivery—the paper is delivered 6 months after the printer is delivered to the customer—Colbert chooses to account for two performance obligations: (1) the printer and stand, and (2) the paper. Prepare the journal entries for Colbert on

(a) March 1, 2015, when Colbert receives £51,250 for the sale of 10 printer bundles, and

(b) September 1, 2015, when the paper is delivered to customers.
