Revenue recognition occurs when
an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring either a good or service to the customer
Five Step Approach to Recognizing Revenue
ISTAR
Identify the contract
Identify Separate Performance Obligations
Determine Transaction Price
Allocate Transaction price to the separate performance obligations
Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies each performance obligation
Criteria for revenue recognition
- all parties have approved the contract and have committed to perform the obligation
- the rights of each party regarding contracted good/services have been identified
- Payment terms can be identified
- Contract has commercial substance
- It is probable that the entity will collect substantially all consideration due
JE for when the contract is initiated
None
Performance obligation
promise to transfer a good or service to a customer. If distinct, separate. If not, combined
Distinct good/service
- promise is separately identifiable
2. customer can benefit from the good/service independently or when combined
NOT a separately identifiable performance obligation
- good/services are highly interrelated/interdependent
- Entity provides significant service of integrating the good/service with other goods/service (example is build and design)
Transaction Price
amount of consideration that an entity can expect to be entitled to receive
If payment is anticipated to be less than one year, discounting the price is
unnecessary
non cash consideration
measured at fair value at contract inception
revenue is recognized over time if
- the entities performance created or enchances an asset that the customer controls
- the customer receives and consumes the benefits of the entity’s performance as it performs
- entity’s perofmrance does not create an asset with alternative use
output method
revenue is recognized based on the value to the customer of the goods or service transferred to date relative to the remaining goods/services (units produced/time elapsed/milestones achieved)
input methods
revenue is recognized based on the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation relative to total expected inputs (i.e. labor hours expensed)
Contract is satisfied at one point in time if
- Entity has right to payment
- Customer has legal title over asset
- Entity has transferred physical possesscion of asset
- customer has accepted asset
