Explanation:

Contract commencement date = July 1, 2021

Contract payment term = $56,000 / annual

Additional 15% ($8,400) at the end of each year if occupancy exceeds 90%

Estimate of meeting occupancy threshold = 30%

At the year end 2012, Contract timeline = 6 month (1/2 year)

Base revenue recognized 56000/2 = $28,000

Additional payment = (8400*30%) / 2 = $1260

Revenue recognized at December 31, 2021 = $28000 + $1260 = $29,260
