    Sale

    Account Receivable $300,000

    Inventory $210,000

    Deffered Gross Profit $90,000

    Payment Receipt

    Cash $135,000

    Account Receivable $135,000

    Profit Recognition

    Deffered Gross Profit $40,500

    Relaized Gross Profit $40,500

    Explanation:

    On sale a receivable is recorded and goods has been transferred to customer and its cost is been deducted from inventory. The Gross profit is deferred until the receipt of payment.

    Deferred Profit = $300,000 x 30% = $90,000

    Inventory cost = $300,000 - $90,000 = $210,000

    Cash received from the customer, profit proportionated to the the cash receipt is realized gross profit.

    Realized Profit = $135,000 x 30% = $40,500
