(Allocate Transaction Price) Geraths Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Geraths also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Geraths enters into the following contract on July 1, 2017, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of \(2,400 and chooses Geraths to do the installation. Geraths charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of \)600. The customer pays Geraths \(2,000 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of \)1,100) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2017, Geraths completes installation on October 15, 2017, and the customer pays the balance due. Prepare the journal entries for Geraths in 2017. (Round amounts to nearest dollar.)

Allee Corp evaluates a revenue arrangement to determine proper revenue recognition. The contract is for the construction of 10 speedboats for a contract price of \(400,000. The customer needs the boats in its showrooms by February 1, 2018, for the boat purchase season; the customer provides a bonus payment of \)21,000 if all ships are delivered by the February 1 deadline. The bonus is reduced by $7,000 each week that the boats are delivered after the deadline until no compensation is paid if the ships are provided after February 15, 2018. Allee frequently includes such bonus terms in its contracts and thus has good historical data for estimating the probabilities of completion at different dates. It calculates an equal likelihood (25%) for each delivery outcome. What approach should Allee use to determine the transaction price for this contract? Explain.
