5. 5 Recognition is the process of formally recording and reporting items in the financial statements. Revenue Recognition

6. 6 Realization is the process of converting noncash recourses into cash or rights to cash. Revenue Recognition

11. 11 Example 2: Revenue Recognition During Production Income Statement Revenue$150 Production expense(100) Gross profit$ 50 The balance sheet shows Inventory of $150, less Partial Billings of $130. Revenue Recognition

15. 15  The economic substance of the event takes precedence over the legal form of the transaction.  The risks and benefits of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.  The collectibility of the receivable from the sale is reasonably assured. The decision as to when to recognize revenue focuses on three factors: Conceptual Issues

16. 16 1. Revenue recognition in the period of sale. 2. Revenue recognition prior to the period of sale. 3. Revenue recognition at the completion of production. 4. Revenue recognition after the period of sale. 5. Revenue recognition delayed until a future event. Alternative Revenue Recognition Methods

17. 17 Earned and Realizable Economic Substance and Transfer of Risks and Benefits of Ownership Collectibility is Not Reasonably Assured Installment Method Cost Recovery Method Percentage-of- Completion Method (for Long-Term Contracts) Completed- Contract Method (for Long-Term Contracts) Accrual Method: “Normal” Revenue Recognition at Sale Not Sufficient Transfer of Risks and Benefits of Ownership Deposit Method Recognition before Physical Transfer Recognition at Physical Transfer Collectibility is Reasonably Assured Revenue Recognized

18. 18 Percentage-of-Completion Method  It achieves the goals of accrual accounting.  It is consistent with the argument that revenue is earned continuously over the entire earning process.  It results in a more relevant measure of periodic income. Revenue Recognition Prior to the Period of Sale

19. 19 AICPA Statement of Position No. 81-1 requires that a construction company use the percentage-of-completion method for long-term contracts when all the following conditions are met: Percentage of Completion Method

20. 20 1.The company can make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress toward completion, contract revenue, and contract costs. 2.The contract clearly specifies the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be provided and received by both the company and the buyer, the consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms of settlement. 3.The buyer can be expected to satisfy its obligations under the contract. 4.The company expects to perform its contractual obligations. Percentage of Completion Method

21. 21 The Statement also requires that a company use the completed-contract method only when at least one of these conditions is not met... …for a short-term contract, and when there are inherent hazards in the contract beyond the normal business risks for which reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made. Percentage of Completion Method

29. 29 Entries 1, 2, and 3 are the same as those used for the percentage-of-completion method. The completed-contract method does not recognize revenue until the project is completed, so there is no Entry 4 until 2009. Completed Contract Method

36. 36 Installment sales involve a financing agreement whereby the customer signs a contract,......makes a small down payment,... Installment Method

37. 37 …and agrees to make periodic payments over an extended period, often several years. Installment Method

38. 38 Two methods employed to defer revenue recognition until cash is received are the installment sales method and the cost recovery method. These methods are used only when the point-of-sale or other GAAP revenue recognition methods are not appropriate. These methods may be used only when there is uncertainty about whether the sales price will be collected and when an allowance for bad debts cannot be reasonably estimated. Revenue Recognized at Collection

39. 39 1. Total sales, cost of goods sold, and collections are recorded in the normal manner during the year. 2. At the end of the year, installment sales are identified. The revenue and the related cost of goods sold are “reversed,” and the deferred gross profit is recognized. 3. At the end of the year, the gross profit rate on installment sales is computed. ContinuedContinued Installment Method

40. 40 4. A portion of the deferred gross profit is recognized as gross profit. 5. In future years the remaining deferred gross profit is reduced and the gross profit is recognized based on the cash collected on the installment sales. Installment Method

49. 49 APB Opinion No. 10 found the cost recovery method of recognizing revenue generally to be unacceptable. However, the Board did agree that this method could be used in exceptional cases where receivables are collected over an extended period and where the terms of the transaction provide no reasonable basis for estimating the degree of collectibility.

Guidelines of AICPA Statement of Position No. 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition

59. 59 Software arrangements may consist of multiple elements such as additional software products, upgrades and/or enhancements, rights to exchange or return software, and customer support. If contract accounting does not apply, a company must allocate its fee to the various elements based on fair values. Guidelines of AICPA Statement of Position No. 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition

60. 60 A company must allocate any discounts proportionately to all the elements, except that none can be allocated to upgrade rights. Guidelines of AICPA Statement of Position No. 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition
