CHAPTER 5

Revenue

Amounts earned for providing a good or service.

The timing of revenue recognition is critical to income measurement and accurate reporting.

Revenue Recognition

The realization principle indicates that revenue should be recognized when the following two criteria have been met: The earnings process is judged to be complete or virtually completeThere is reasonable certainty as to the collectibility of the asset to be received

Additional criteria from SAB No 101 & 104 include• Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists• Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered• The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable• Collectibility is reasonably assured

Revenue and expenses are generally recognized in the period in which the product/service is delivered.

Revenue from the sale of products can be delayed past delivery if material uncertainties exist or allowed prior to delivery for long-term contracts.

Service revenue often is recognized over time, in proportion to the amount of service performed. If there is one final service that is critical to the earnings process, revenues and costs are deferred and recognized after this service has been performed.

POINT OF DELIVERY

On April 1, 2014, X Company sold inventory on account to Y, Inc. for $100,000. The inventory cost X $60,000.

Accounts Receivable 100,000

Sales 100,000

Cost of Goods Sold 60,000

Inventory 60,000

POINT OF DELIVERY REVENUE RECOGNITION – TYPICAL TRANSACTION Example

The realization principles has been met in that 1) the product has been sold and delivered. 2) There is reasonable certainty as to the collectibility of cash. Any minor uncertainties regarding the collection of cash can be accounted for with allowances for returns and bad debts.

Installment Sales Method Cost Recovery Method

INSTALLMENT SALESA sales transaction requiring the buyer to make a series of payments (usually annual) over a period of time.

Revenue recognition for most installment sales takes place at the point of delivery, because reliable estimates of potential uncollectible amounts can be made. When extreme uncertainty exists regarding the ultimate collectibility of cash, we delay recognizing revenue and related expenses using either

On October 1, 2014, Harmon Company sold and delivered inventory to Lee, Inc. for $450,000. The inventory cost Harmon $210,000. Terms of the sale called for a down payment of $150,000 and three annual installments of $100,000 each.

Installment Receivables 450,000

Sales 450,000

Cost of Goods Sold 210,000

Inventory 210,000

Cash 150,000


INSTALLMENT SALES - POINT OF DELIVERY REVENUE RECOGNITION Example

Oct 1, 2014Note that all the revenue was recognized when the inventory was sold and delivered even though the payment will be spread over several installments.

INSTALLMENT SALES METHODRecognizes revenue and costs only when cash payments are received. Each payment is composed of a partial recovery of the cost of the item sold and a gross profit component. Gross profit on the initial sale is deferred. The installment sales method realizes (recognizes) gross profit as payments are made by applying the gross profit percentage on the sale to the amount of cash actually received.

INSTALLMENT SALES METHOD Example

On November 1, 2013, the Belmont Corporation, a real estate developer, sold a tract of land for $800,000. The sales agreement requires the customer to make four equal annual payments of $200,000 plus interest on each November 1, beginning November 1, 2013. The land cost $560,000 to develop. The company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

INSTALLMENT SALES METHOD Example (continued – journal entries)

COST RECOVERY METHODUsed when there is an extremely high degree of uncertainty regarding the ultimate cash collection on an installment sale. All gross profit recognition is deferred until the cost of the item sold has been recovered. After costs have been recovered, any remaining cash collections are gross profit.

COST RECOVERY METHOD Example

On November 1, 2013, the Belmont Corporation, a real estate developer, sold a tract of land for $800,000. The sales agreement requires the customer to make four equal annual payments of $200,000 plus interest on each November 1, beginning November 1, 2013. The land cost $560,000 to develop.
