Revenue Recognition – Graded Assignment Question 1: On October 1, 2021 Jones & Hill, a consulting firm, enters a contract to help BGSE, a local pediatric dental provider, design a marketing strategy to compete with Kids Kings Dental. The contract spans eight months. BGSE promises to pay $25,500 at the end of each month. At the end of the contract, Jones & Hill either will give BGSE a refund of $7,500 or will be entitled to an additional $7,500 bonus, depending on whether services at BGSE have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Jones & Hill estimates an 65% chance that it will earn the $7,500 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. At the beginning Harris of the 6th month, March 1 st and after recording the February 28th entry, circumstances change, and Jones & Hill revises to 75% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Jones & Hill do not receive the additional consideration of $7,500 and are required to refund BGSE. Assume Jones & Hill has a December 31 st year-end. Required: 1. Briefly describe the difference between the “most likely amount” and the “expected value” approach.” 2. Prepare the journal entries related to the contract as indicated. 3. Additionally, please indicate amounts to be reported on the balance sheet (ignore cash) and income statement on December 31, 2021 for Jones & Hill. Most likely amount is a single amount that is most likely inside a range of considerable amounts. This is a method that can be used to estimate an amount that is more likely when a contract only has two possibilities Expected value method uses the sum of probability-weighted amounts of the contract price in a range of considerable amounts. This method of valuing the contract price is used when the entity has a multitude of contracts with similar characteristics. 25500*8 +7500=211500*.65=137475 25500*8-7500=196500*.35=68775 137475+68775=206250 206250/8=25781.25
