Question

E18.9 (LO2,3) (Determine Transaction Price) Taylor Marina has 300 available slips that rent for $800 per season. Payments must be made in full by the start of the boating season, April 1,2020. The boating season ends October 31, and the marina has a December 31 year-end. Slips for future seasons may be reserved if paid for by December 31, 2020. Under a new policy, if payment for 2021 season slips is made by December 31, 2020, a 5% discount is allowed. If payment for 2022 season slips is made by December 31, 2020, renters get a 20% discount (this promotion hopefully will provide cash flow for major dock repairs). On December 31, 2019, all 300 slips for the 2020 season were rented at full price. On December 31, 2020, 200 slips were reserved and paid for the 2021 boating season, and 60 slips were reserved and paid for the 2022 boating season. Instructions a. Prepare the appropriate journal entries for December 31,2019, and December 31, 2020 b. Assume the marina operator is unsophisticated in business. Explain the managerial significance of the above accounting to this person.
