Revenue recognition
occurs when an entity satisfies a perform obligation by transferring either a good or a service to a customer
five step approach
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: determine the transaction price
Step 4: allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations
Step 5: Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies each performance obligation
a contract is defined as
- an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable right and obligation
- can be verbal, written, or implied
criteria for identifying the contract
- all parties have approved and committed to perform their obligations
- the rights of each party contracted goods or services are identified
- payment terms can be identified
- the contract has commercial substance, meaning future cash flows (amount, risk, and timing) are expected to change as a result of the contract
- it is probable (based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay when due) that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration under the contract
when is the criteria assessment performed
at contract inception
if the criteria are not met but consideration has been paid by the customer then
an entity can recognize revenue if the consideration is nonrefundable and either there are no remaining obligations to transfer goods/services, or the contract has terminated
when two or more contracts are entered into with the same customer or with related parties of the customer at or near the same time then
the contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract
a modification of a contract is treated as a new contract if
- the scope increases due to the addition of distinct goods or services
- the price increase appropriately reflects the stand-alone selling prices of the additional goods/services
in order to be considered a distinct performance obligation it must be
- the [promise to transfer the good or service is separately identifiable from other goods or services in the contract
- the customer can benefit from the good or service independently or when combined with the customer’s available resources
a transfer of good or service is separately indefinable if
- an entity does not integrate the good or service with other goods or services in the contract
- the good or service does not customize or modify another good or service in the contract
- the good or service does not depend on or relate to other goods or services promised in the contract
not separately identifiable
- the goods or services are highly interrelated or interdependent
- the entity provides a significant service of integrating the good or service with other goods or services promised in the contract into a bundle of goods or services that represent the combined output contracted foy by the customer
transaction price
represents the amount of consideration that an entity can expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer
the amount of variable consideration should be estimated by
taking a range of possible amounts and using either the expected value or the most likely amount
time value of money should be an adjustment to
the transaction price if the timing of the payments per the contract provides either the customer or the entity with a significant benefit in regard to financing the transfer or goods or services
noncash consideration should be measured at
fair value at contract inception
stand-alone selling price
the price an entity would sell the promised good or service to a customer on a stand-alone basis
Discounts
a discount exists when the sum of the stand-alone prices for each obligation within a contract exceeds the total consideration for the contract
what do you do when the transaction price changes
the change should be allocated to the performance obligations in the contract on the same basis that was used at inception
revenue is recognized over time if
- the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset
- the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs it (service contracts0
- the entity’s performance does not create an asset with alternative use to the entity and has enforceable right to receive payment
output method
revenue is recognized based on the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised
input method
revenue is recognized based on the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs
point in time
revenue should be recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control
contract asset
reflects the entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to the customer
if the payment due date is conditioned only by the passage of time, the entity should present this
separately as a receivable
