Lake Power Sports sells jet skis and other powered recreational equipment. Customers pay one-third of the sales price of a jet ski when they initially purchase the ski, and then pay another one-third each year for the next two years. Because Lake has little information about the ability to collect these receivables, it uses the installment sales method for revenue recognition. In 2017, Lake began operations and sold jet skis with a total price of $900,000 that cost Lake $450,000. Lake collected $300,000 in 2017, $300,000 in 2018, and $300,000 in 2019 associated with those sales. In 2018, Lake sold jet skis with a total price of $1,500,000 that cost Lake $900,000. Lake collected $500,000 in 2018, $400,000 in 2019, and $400,000 in 2020 associated with those sales. In 2020, Lake also repossessed $200,000 of jet skis that were sold in 2018.

2017 sales:
Cost = $450,000; $300,000 collected in each year 2017-2019.
$300,000 of cost recovered in 2017, the other $150,000 of cost recovered in 2018, so $150,000 of gross profit recognized in 2018, leaving $300,000 recognized in 2019.
2018 sales:
Cost = $900,000; $500,000 collected in 2018, $400,000 collected in 2019.
$500,000 of cost recovered in 2018, the other $400,000 of cost recovered in 2018, so $0 of gross profit recognized in 2019.
Total: $300,000 + $0 = $300,000
