Revenue Recognition

Chapter 8Chapter 8

18th Edition

8-2

Recognition refers to the time when transactions are recorded on the books. The FASB’s two criteria for recognizing revenues and gains are when:

Revenue Recognition

1. They are realized or realizable.

2. They have been earned through substantial completion of the activities involved in the earnings process.

Both of these criteria generally are Both of these criteria generally are met at the point of salemet at the point of sale

Both of these criteria generally are Both of these criteria generally are met at the point of salemet at the point of sale

8-3

• Revenue is not recognized prior to the point of sale because either: A valid promise of payment has not been

received from the customer. The company has not provided the product or

service.• Exceptions to these rules:

The customer provides a valid promise of payment.

Conditions exist that contractually guarantee the sale.

(continued)

Revenue Recognition

8-4

AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 gives companies more guidance through a checklist of four factors that amplify the two criteria:

1) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.

2) Delivery has occurred.

3) The vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable.

4) Collectibility is probable.

(continued)

Revenue Recognition

8-5

• The FASB is currently engaged in a revenue recognition project in conjunction with the IASB (as of June 2010).

• The FASB has tentatively decided to move away from the realization and substantial completion criteria and to instead emphasize the measurement of a seller’s satisfaction of performance obligations created through contracts with customers.

Revenue Recognition

8-6

SAB 101

• Because SAB 101 was released to curtail specific abuses, it should not be seen as a comprehensive treatise on the entire area of revenue recognition.

• Revenue recognition issues covered in SAB 101 may not be comprehensive, but they are extremely important.

8-7

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

• Section 404 of the Sabanes-Oxley Act of 2002 instructs the SEC to require all publicly traded companies to provide a report of the condition of the company’s internal controls.

• This is to ensure that the public financial statements are not rendered irrelevant by secret side agreements.

• A good internal control system establishes procedures to safeguard the value of a company’s assets.

(continued)

8-10

Accounting for a Layaway Sale

Recording the receipt of the final $1,400 cash payment and the delivery of goods to customers requires two entries. One to record the sale and the second to remove the item from inventory and to record its cost.Cash 1,400Deposit Received from Customer 100

Sales 1,500

Cost of Goods Sold 1,000Inventory 1,000

8-11

Bill-and-Hold Arrangements

To consider merchandise as sold using the bill-and-hold arrangement, a seller must be able to demonstrate:

• that the goods are ready to ship,

• that they are segregated in act and cannot be used to fill other orders, and

• that the buyer has requested, in writing, the bill-and-hold arrangement.

8-12

Customer Acceptance Provisions

Seller Company receives $1,500 cash from a customer as payment in full for equipment costing $1,000. The sale is not complete until the equipment is installed at the customer’s place of business. The following entry is necessary to record the advance receipt of money:

Cash 1,500Advance Payments Received

from Customers 1,500

(continued)

Seller Company receives $1,000 cash from a customer as the initial sign-up fee for a service. In addition to the sign-up fee, the customer is required to pay $50 per month for the service. The expected economic life of this service agreement is 100 months. An entry is required to show receipt of cash.

Subtopic 605-25

• The focus of Subtopic 605-25 is on the “unit of accounting.”

• An element of multiple-element arrangement is considered to be a unit of accounting if that element has standalone value.

• An element has standalone value if it is sold separately or if the customer resells it.

8-17

Income Statement Presentation of Revenue: Gross or Net

Characteristic of a transaction in which a company should report revenue on a net basis are given as follows:

• The company does not maintain an inventory of the product being sold but simply forwards orders to a supplier.

• The company is not primarily responsible for satisfying customer requirements, request, complaints, and so forth; those requirements are satisfied by the supplier of goods.

(continued)

8-18

Income Statement Presentation of Revenue: Gross or Net

• The company earns a fixed amount, or a fixed percentage, and doesn’t bear the risk of fluctuations in the margin between the selling price and the cost of goods sold.

• The company does not bear the credit risk associated with collecting from the customer; that risk is borne by the supplier.

8-19

A Contract Approach to Revenue Recognition

The contract approach contains three basic steps:

1) Identify the performance obligations accepted by a seller in its contracts with its buyers.

2) For multiple-element transactions, allocate transaction prices based on relative separate selling prices.

3) Recognize revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

(continued)

8-20

• With the contractual performance obligation focus, the FASB and IASB have agreed that revenue arises when a seller satisfies a performance obligation to a buyer.

• The general idea that no revenue should be recognized until something of value has been delivered to the customer goes back to SAB 101 and even back to the traditional revenue recognition criteria.

Wilks Company sells a plasma TV and 2-year warranty to a customer for the joint price of $2,000. Wilks Company has generated the following information regarding the sale of the plasma TV.

• Cost of plasma TV, $1,500

• Sales price of plasma TV sold separately is unknown. Other consumer electronic products have profit margins that range between 16% and 22% of cost.

(continued)


8-23

TV delivery obligation: $1,700 = $2,000 x [$1,785/($1,785 + $315)]

Warranty service obligation: $300 = $2,000 x [$315/$1,785 + $315)]

• Sales price of warranty if sold separately, unknown. A 2-year warranty for a refrigerator/freezer with the same wholesale cost sells for $300. Wilks estimates that repair costs for the plasma TV would be 5% higher ($300 + ($300 x .05) = $315).

(continued)


8-24

The journal entry to record the asset and liability at the contract signing is as follows:Cash 2,000 Contract Liability—TV 1,700

Contract Liability—Warranty 300

When the plasma TV is delivered, the following journal entries are required:

Contract Liability—TV 1,700 Sales Revenue 1,700Cost of Goods Sold 1,500

Introduction

• If a Company waits until the production or service period is complete to recognize revenue, this approach is referred to as the completed-contract method. All income from the contract is related to the year of completion.

• Percentage-of-completion accounting was developed to relate recognition of revenue on long-term construction-type contracts to the activities of a firm in fulfilling these contracts.

8-26

1.Dependable estimates can be made of contract revenues, contract costs, and the extent of progress toward completion.

2.The contract clearly specifies the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms of settlement.

In 1981, the AICPA identified several elements that should be present if the percentage-of-completion accounting is to be used.

4. The contractor can be expected to perform the contractual obligation.

(continued)

8-28

• Cost-to-cost method is perhaps the most popular of the input measures. The degree of completion is determined by comparing costs already incurred with the most recent estimates of total expected costs to complete the project.

• Engineers are often called in to help provide estimates.

In January 2012, Strong Construction Company was awarded a contract with a total price of $3,000,000. Strong expects to earn $400,000 profit on the contract. The construction was completed over a 3-year period.

Completed-Contract Method

• No other entries would be required in 2012 and 2013 under the completed-contract method.

• In both years, the balance of Construction in Progress exceeds the amount in Progress Billings on Construction Contracts; thus, the latter account would be offset against the inventory account in the balance sheet.

(continued)

8-34

Using the completed-contract method, the balance sheet at the end of 2013 would disclose the following balances related to the construction contract:

Current assets:Accounts receivable $250,000Construction in progress $1,950,000Less: Progress billings on

Using Percentage-of-Completion Accounting: Other Methods

In 2012, an engineering estimate measure was used, and 42% of the contract was assumed to be completed. The gross profit recognized would therefore be computed and reported as follows:Recognized revenue (42% of $3,000,000)$1,260,000

Cost (42% of $2,600,000) 1,092,000

Gross profit (42% of $400,000) $ 168,000

(continued)

8-43

Using Percentage-of-Completion Accounting: Other Methods

Using the data from the previous slide and knowing that the actual cost incurred to date is $1,040,000, the revenue and costs to be reported on the 2012 income statement would be as follows:

Actual cost incurred to date $1,040,000

Recognized gross profit (42% of

$2,600,000) 168,000

Gross profit (42% of $400,000) $ 168,000

8-44

Revision of Estimate

Instead of the previous illustration, assume that at the end of 2013, it was estimated that the remaining cost to complete construction was $720,000 rather than $650,000. This would increase the total estimated cost to $2,670,000, reduce the expected profit to $330,000, and change the percentage of completion for 2013 to 73% ($1,950,000/$2,670,000).

Reporting Anticipated Contract Losses

• When a loss on a total contract is anticipated, GAAP requires reporting the loss in its entirety in the period when the loss is first anticipated.

• This is true under either the completed-contract or the percentage-of-completion method.

(continued)

8-49

• Assume in the earlier construction example, the estimated cost to complete the contract at the end of 2013 was $1,300,000.

• Because $1,950,000 of costs had already been incurred, the total estimated cost of the contract would be $3,250,000, or $250,000 more than the contract price.

(continued)

Reporting Anticipated Contract Losses

8-50

Anticipated Contract Loss: Percentage-of-Completion Method

Continuing with the construction contract example, assume the cumulative recognized revenue at the end of 2013 would be $1,800,000 (60% x $3,000,000), and the cumulative cost at the same date would e $2,050,000 ($1,800,000 + $250,000).

A profit of $160,000 was recognized in 2012, the total loss to be recognized in 2013 is $410,000 ($160,000 + $250,000).

(continued)

8-51

The entry to record the revenue, costs, and adjustments to Construction in Progress for the loss in 2013 would be as follows:

Cost of Long-Term Construction Contract 1,010,000

Revenue from Long-Term Construction Contracts 600,000Construction in Process 410,000

Anticipated Contract Loss: Percentage-of-Completion Method

8-52

Proportional Revenue Recognition

1. Initial direct costs related to obtaining and performing initial services on the contract

Most service contracts involve three different types of costs:

2. Direct costs related to performing the various service acts

3. Indirect costs related to maintaining the organization to service the contract

8-53

• Under the installment sales method, profit is recognized as cash is collected rather than at the time of sale.

• It is used most commonly in cases of real estate sales where contracts may involve little or no down payment, payments are spread over 10 to 30 to 40 years, and a high probability of default in the early years exists because of a small investment by the buyer.

• The market prices of the property often are unstable.

Installment Sales Method

8-54

Cost Recovery Method

• Under the cost recovery method, no income is recognized on a sale until the cost of the item sold it recovered through cash receipts.

• This method is used only when the circumstances surrounding a sale are so uncertain that earlier recognition is impossible.

8-55

Cash Method

• If the probability of recovering product or service costs is remote, the cash method of accounting could be used.

• Seldom would this method be applicable for sales of merchandise or real estate because the right of repossession would leave considerable value to the seller.
