Correct options read:

A. $0

B. $500,000

C. $700,000

D. $1,000,000

Answer:

C. $700,000

Explanation:

Note only payments made on this sale that fall under the year 2018 is accounted for. Hence, we can make the following conclusions:

  • Total payment due: $5 per unit x 200,000 = $1,000,000.
  • Cavanaugh paid 40% of the contract price on September 25, 2018 = $400,000 (40% or 0.4 x  $1,000,000).

Also since half of the units were delivered on November 15, 2018, and he agreed to pay the rest in equal installments, we expect him to pay half the $600,000 left:

  • units were delivered on November 15, 2018 = $300,000 paid.

Total payments in the year:

September 25, 2018; $400,000 + $300,000; November 15, 2018 = $700,000.
