Problem
Pepperoni's Pizzas (PP) runs a promotional campaign in the fall (Sept-Dec): Eat and Win. PP special orders 15,000 pizza boxes of which 1,500 entitle the customer to a prize ranging from a free pizza to a lovely new bicycle. Approximately 90% of winners will be returned for prizes. The total value of prizes purchased for Eat and Win is $45,000 (PP purchased for $35,500). Each pizza costs PP $5 and sells for $15. PP's year end is December 31. The 2021 campaign is now over and all the promo boxes have been given out, but only 1,050 boxes have been returned for prizes. The cost of prizes given out is $25,000. PP still estimates that 90% of winners will be returned, but that these remaining boxes will be returned in the new year. PP uses the residual method to allocate the transaction price to performance obligations.
