BE18.12 (LO 2, 3) Manual Company sells goods to Nolan Company during 2020. It offers Nolan the following rebates based on total sales to Nolan. If total sales to Nolan are 10,000 units, it will grant a rebate of 2%. If it sells up to 20,000 units, it will grant a rebate of 4%. If it sells up to 30,000 units, it will grant a rebate of 6%. In the first quarter of the year, Manual sells 11,000 units to Nolan at a sales price of $110,000. Manual, based on past experience, has sold over 40,000 units to Nolan, and these sales normally take place in the third quarter of the year. What amount of revenue should Manual report for the sale of the 11,000 units in the first quarter of the year

$103,400

Explanation:

Does Manuel have any certainties that Nolan will purchase more than 30,000 units during the year? Apparently, according to historic sales, Nolan purchases at least 40,000 units per year, so Manuel should consider that Nolan will again purchase a similar amount this year and therefore, will be entitled to a rebate.

Another issue that must be considered is that 30,000 units / 4 quarters = 7,500 units per quarter, and Nolan clearly purchased more than that.

A rebate is not a discount, it happens when the seller offers a certain amount of goods to a buyer without cost because the buyer purchased more than an specific amount. It is basically an incentive or prize that Manuel gives Nolan for being a good client.

Manuel should recognize $110,000 x (1 - 6%) = $103,400 in revenues
