Step by step solution

Definition of Unearned Revenue

Unearned revenue can be defined as the liability that a business entity records for the revenue received in advance. The business entity adjusts this liability when the service or product for the advance revenue is provided.

Allocation of transaction price among service obligations

A service obligation of $1,000,000 needs to be allocated.

$Allocationtoequipment= \frac{S t a n d a l o n e s e l l i n g p r i c e o f e q u i p m e n t}{T o t a l s e l l i n g p r i c e} \times S e r v i c e o b l i g a t i o n = \frac{$ 1, 000, 000}{$ 1, 045, 000} \times $ 1, 000, 000 = $ 956, 938 Allocationtoinstallment= \frac{Standalone selling price of equipment}{Total selling price} \times S e r v i c e o b l i g a t i o n = \frac{$ 45, 000}{$ 1, 045, 000} \times $ 1, 000, 000 = $ 43, 062$

Working note:

The standalone selling price of Equipment is $1,000,000.

The standalone selling price of the installation is:

Particular	Amount $
Add: installation	36,000
Add: Profit margin on installation @25% of $36,000	9,000
Standalone selling price of installation	$45,000

Calculation of selling price:

Particular	Amount $
Selling price	$1,000,000
Add: installation	36,000
Add: Profit margin on installation @25% of $36,000	9,000
Total selling price	$1,045,000
