    Kercher Imports Inc. purchases large quantities of precious minerals in Asia that are then resold to various European end-use customers. The company has recently entered into a contract to purchase 10,000 grams of a particular mineral at a price of $50 per gram. The company intends to resell the mineral to its customers at $90 per gram. Soon after the contract was signed, the civil war in the mineral's source country ended and a stable government was installed. This result calmed the markets, and the spot price for the mineral dropped to $31 per gram. Kercher Imports Inc. examined the contract and determined that to exit the arrangement early would result in a penalty of $75,000. As a result of the change in the market price, Kercher Imports Inc. can now only sell the product to its end-users at $45 per gram.

    Required:

    1. Determine if this is an onerous contract. Prepare the journal entry required to report this contract.
    2. Repeat part (a) assuming that the penalty for contract cancellation is $150,000 instead of $75,000.
