Explanation / Answer

No Date General Journal Debit Credit 1 Jul-15 Accounts Receivable $           16,000 Service Revenue $                  16,000 2 Jul-31 Accounts Receivable $           24,000 Bonus Receivale $             4,000 Service Revenue $                  28,000 3 Aug-05 Cash $           40,000 Accounts Receivable $                  40,000 4 Aug-05 Service Revenue $             4,000 Bonus Receivale $                     4,000 Working Note 1 During Jul - 01 to Jul - 15 Period, Arctic estimates a less than 50 % chance it will earn the bonus so, using the most likely amount approach, It assumes no bonus and estimates its revenue as $ 2,000 per day X 8 days = $ 16,000. 2 During Jul - 16 to Jul - 31 Period Arctic earns Guide revenue of another 12 days X $2,000 per day = $ 24,000. In addition because Arctic estimates a greaten than 50% chance it will earn the bonus, using the "most likely amount approach" it estimates a bonus receivable of $ 200 per day X ( 8 days + 12 days ) = $ 4,000. 3 On August 05, Arctic learnt that it wont receive a bonus, and receives only the $ 40,000 balance in accounts receivable. Arctic must reduce it's Bonus receivable to Zero and record the offsetting adjustment in revenue.
