Rocky Guide Service provides guided 1–5 day hiking tours throughout the Rocky Mountains. Wilderness Tours hires Rocky to lead various tours that Wilderness sells. Rocky receives $2,600 per tour day, and shortly after the end of each month Rocky learns whether it will receive a $260 bonus per tour day it guided during the previous month if its service during that month received an average evaluation of "excellent" by Wilderness customers. The $2,600 per day and any bonus due are paid in one lump payment shortly after the end of each month.
On July 1, based on prior experience, Rocky estimated that there is a 20% chance that it will earn the bonus for July tours. It guided a total of 10 days from July 1–July 15.
On July 16, based on Rocky’s view that it had provided excellent service during the first part of the month, Rocky revised its estimate to an 70% chance it would earn the bonus for July tours. Rocky also guided customers for 15 days from July 16–July 31.
On August 5 Rocky learned that it did not receive an average evaluation of "excellent" for its July tours, so it would not receive any bonus for July, and received all payment due for the July tours.
Rocky bases estimates of variable consideration on the most likely amount it expects to receive.

Answer:

Rocky Guide Service Journal entries

July 15

Dr Accounts receivable 26,000

Cr Service revenue 26,000

July 31

Dr Accounts receivable 39,000

Dr Bonus receivable 6,500

Cr Service revenue 45,500

August 05

Dr Cash 65,000

Cr Accounts receivable 65,000

August 05

Dr Service revenue 6,500

Cr Bonus receivable 6,500

Explanation:

1. During the July 1 and ­July 15 period, the Rocky was said to estimates a less than 50% chance, therefore it is assumes that their is no bonus, and estimates its revenue as $2,600 per day × 10days

= $26,000

2.During the July 16 and ­July 31 period, Rocky also earns guide revenue of another 15 days × $2,600 per day =$39,000.

He also estimates a bonus receivable of $260 per day × (10 days + 15 days)

=$6,500

3.

On August 5, Rocky also learns that it won’t receive a bonus in which he received only the $65,000 (6,500×10 days) balance in accounts receivable which means that Rocky will have to reduce its bonus receivable to zero and as well record the offsetting adjustment inrevenue.
