Geraths Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season
porches. Geraths also provides installation service for the windows. The installation
process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by
other vendors. Geraths enters into the following contract on July 1, 2015, with a local
homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,400 and chooses
Geraths to do the installation. Geraths charges the same price for the windows
irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The price of the installation service
is estimated to have a fair value of $600. The customer pays Geraths $2,000 (which
equals the fair value of the windows, which have a cost of $1,100) upon delivery and the
remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on
September 1, 2015, Geraths completes installation on October 15, 2015, and the
customer pays the balance due. Prepare the journal entries for Geraths in 2015.
