Question

Crane Ranch & Cheyenne is a distributor of ranch and farm equipment. Its products range from small tools, power equipment for trench-digging and fencing, grain dryers, and barn winches. Most products are sold direct via its company catalog and Internet site. However, given some of its specialty products, select farm implement stores carry Crane’s products. Pricing and cost information on three of Crane’s most popular products are as follows. Item Standalone Selling Price (Cost) Mini-trencher $ 3,700 ($2,100 ) Power fence hole auger 1,200 (900 ) Grain/hay dryer 14,600 (11,400 ) Respond to the requirements related to the following independent revenue arrangements for Crane Ranch & Cheyenne.

(a) On January 1, 2017, Crane sells 30 augers to Mills Farm & Fleet for $36,000. Mills signs a 6-month note at an annual interest rate of 12%. Crane allows Mills to return any auger that it cannot use within 60 days and receive a full refund. Based on prior experience, Crane estimates that 5% of units sold to customers like Mills will be returned (using the most likely outcome approach). Crane’s costs to recover the products will be immaterial, and the returned augers are expected to be resold at a profit. Prepare the journal entry for Crane on January 1, 2017.
