that #3033
Absco, Inc. is a calendar year- end clothing manufacturer that sells exclusively to retailers. It
engages in a large number of contracts with its customers. Below are some specific contract
issues that have arisen this year. 1. Absco signed a contract with Socks Are Us to ship 100,000
pairs of socks on December 27. The contract price is $ 5 per pair, with nonrefundable payment
due upon receipt of the socks. Absco immediately delivers the socks to Socks Are Us once the
contract is signed by both parties, with the socks arriving on December 28. However, Socks Are
Us has not remitted payment as of December 31. It is clear to Absco that it will have to offer the
customer a price concession in order to receive any payment at all. Absco has not had
extensive dealings with Socks Are Us, but estimates it will need to offer a 25% discount. Should
Absco recognize any revenue related to this arrangement in the current year? If so, how much?
2. Absco signed a contract with Jeans Are Us to ship 300,000 pair of jeans. The contract price
is $ 20 per pair. These particular jeans are very fashionable at the current time, but are not
expected to stay in style for a long period of time. Because they are new, Absco has only
manufactured 10,000 pairs. The contract specifies that Absco will immediately ship the 10,000
pairs and will then ship the remaining portions of the 290,000 pairs as soon as possible after a
specific number of pairs are requested by Jeans Are Us. If Absco has shipped less than
300,000 pairs of jeans by the end of the year, it will ship the remaining jeans to fulfill the
contract at the end of one year. Because Jeans Are Us is concerned that the demand for these
jeans will be heavy, it has provided incentive in the contract for Absco to expedite production of
the jeans. Jeans Are Us will provide a bonus to Absco if it delivers the jeans within a certain
period of time of the request. The percentage bonus is as follows:Delivered within: Percentage
bonus1 day of request…………………. 5%3 days of request…………………. 4%5 days of request………
3%10 days of request…………………. 2%Absco has never been involved in a transaction that involves
bonuses for delivery expediency. In addition, because of the newness of this particular style of
jeans on the market, Jeans Are Us is not able to give Absco any idea of when it will request
jeans and how many it will request each time. Absco uses the expected value method of
measuring variable consideration. Accordingly, it has deter-mined that the expected value of the
bonus consideration is $ 180,000. However, Absco is quite uncertain how quickly it can
manufacture these jeans. What is the total transaction price for this contract? You may want to
read paragraphs 11 through 13 of ASC 606- 10- 32. Explain your answer.View Solution:
