TLE Company sells prefabricated pools that cost $ 8 0 , 0 0 0 to customers for $ 1 3 9 , 9 0 0

TLE Company sells prefabricated pools that cost $80,000 to customers for $139,900.
The sales price includes an installation fee, which is valued at $20,000. Also, the sales
price includes 6 months of pool service (i.e., cleaning, chemicals, etc.), which is valued
at $150/month. Pool services begin immediately following the installation of the pool.
The fair value of the pool is $132,000. Both the installation of the pool and the pool
services can be done by other, readily available, third parties. The installation of the
pool is expected to take 3 months to complete.
TLE signs a contract on 1/1/2023 with a homebuilder, Pheidias Development
Corporation (PDC), whereby PDC purchases 4 of the prefabricated pools at the sales
price of $139,900 for each pool. These pools will be delivered, installed and serviced by
TLE at PDCs 4 new model homes being built at its latest housing development in
northeast St. Johns County. TLE is required to deliver and install one pool per quarter
during 2023. Delivery and installation of the first pool will begin on 1/1/2023.
The contract specifies that PDC will pay 3/4 of the sales price for each pool at the
beginning of each quarter when each pool installation is begun. PDC will pay the
remaining sales price when the pool is completely installed. All payments were made
timely by PDC during 2023.
TLE delivers the pools on the first day of each new quarter (e.g.,1/1,4/1, etc.) and
installation begins immediately thereafter. Installation of the pools is expected to be
completed 90 days (3 months) after each pool is delivered. For example, the pool
delivered on 1/1 should be completely installed by 3/31.
TLE was successful at delivering and installing each pool in its respective 2023 quarter
with completion dates for each pool on 3/31,6/30,9/30 and 12/31.
TLE began pool services for each pool once it was fully installed. PDC did not extend
these services beyond the 6 month period provided in the contract.
Requirements:
A) Using any format, develop a revenue allocation analysis for each of the performance
obligations stated in the above arrangement for one pool only.
B) record journal entries for TLE applicable to the period January 1 through June 30,
2023. Be very careful...take special care to consider the last 3 months of this
timeframe.
C) Prepare a discussion (i.e. a paragraph of 3-5 sentences) that would describe the
impact, if any, from the following alteration (bolded sentences) to the sales
transaction/contract signed on 1/1/2023.
Alteraton:
In addition, as a part of the contract, TLE will receive a potential performance
bonus of:
$20,000 if the delivery and the installation of all four pools are all completed
by June 30,2023.
Or...
$10,000 if the delivery and the installation of all four pools are all completed
by September 30,2023.
On January 1,2023, TLE estimates a 75% chance of successfully completing the pools
by June 30,2023, and a 25% chance of completing the pools by September 30,2023.
TLE does not predict a most likely outcome as of 1/1/2023. TLE has a second crew
available to accelerate the delivery and installation of the 4 pools. TLE has successfully
completed contracts with similar accelerated due dates with previous home developers.
The discussion should address the performance bonus as a separate performance
obligation (interdependent or independent), estimating variable consideration and the
timing recording such, and allocating transaction price to the performance obligations.
Quantification of all amounts should be included in the discussion.
