Accounting

GoRight Inc. (GRI) is a franchisor who sells the rights to its trademark to franchisees. The franchisee pays an upfront, non-refundable
deposit of $1,100. This amount is used to cover the expenses for GRI performing a check on the franchisee's background and,
credentials, interviews, and preparation of the agreement if the franchisee is accepted. This takes only about four days to complete.
If the franchisee passes this screening, a contract is signed with GRI. The contract states that for consideration of $132,000, the
franchisee will have the right to use the trademark for a period of three years. The three-year period commences at the beginning of
the month the contract is signed. At the end of the period, the contract can be extended for another two years on payment of an
agreed-upon amount. The franchisee may pay the $132,000 in three instalments starting on the date the contract is signed. (The
upfront fee is part of the $132,000 total.) In other words, on signing of the contract, $44,000 is due, and then another $44,000 is paid
in the next 30 days and the final $44,000 payment is due in 60 days (from the date of signing the contract). Failure to pay the
amounts on time will forfeit the franchisee's right to use the trademark. If a franchise is revoked, GRI will retain an amount equal to 7%
of the total $132,000 to cover administrative costs incurred and the remaining amounts received are refunded. In 20X4, GRI signed
14 contracts with various franchisees as detailed below. GRI has a December year-end.
Note 1: All franchisees made their payments on time, except for one who owed his last payment of $44,000. The rights to this
franchise were revoked in November 204.
