B.

$431,034

C.

$450,000

D.

$500,000

How to approach this question

Apply ASC 606 five-step model: identify performance obligations (equipment and service), determine standalone selling prices, allocate transaction price based on relative standalone selling prices, recognize revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

Full Answer

B.$431,034✓ Correct
$431,034
Under ASC 606, when a contract contains multiple performance obligations, allocate the transaction price based on relative standalone selling prices. Equipment: $500,000 ÷ ($500,000 + $80,000) = 86.21% of $500,000 = $431,034. The equipment performance obligation is satisfied upon delivery.

Common mistakes

Recognizing full contract price for equipment, not identifying separate performance obligations, or using incorrect allocation methods
