Allocating Transaction Price to Performance Obligations and Recording Sales

Value Dealership Inc. markets and sells the vehicles to retail customers. Along with a new vehicle purchase, a customer will receive a free annual maintenance contract for one year from the date of purchase. The standalone selling price of a vehicle is $30,000 and the standalone selling price for the annual maintenance contract is $400. During October 2020, Value Dealership Inc. sold 30 vehicles for $30,250 per vehicle, each with a free annual maintenance contract.

When answering the following questions:

• Round each allocated transaction price to the nearest dollar.
• If a journal entry (or a line of the journal entry) isn't required for the transaction, select "N/A" as the account name and leave the Dr. and Cr. answers blank (zero).

b. Assume the same information above except that the standalone selling price of the annual maintenance contract is not known because this was the first time Value Dealership offered the service. Value Dealership is uncertain as to what services, on average, a customer will take advantage of during the year of the contract. The Dealership researched competitor prices and determined that the average selling price for a maintenance service contract is $520. Ignoring the cost entries, record the journal entry in October 2020 for Value Dealerships sale of vehicles to its customers.
