Under the completed contract method, revenue is recognized
when the contract is complete, however expected losses are recognized immediately
U.S. GAAP “completed contract” method to account for a long-term construction contract
=Contract price-cost incurred-estimated cost to complete
When the “percentage of completion” method of recording revenue is used
Contract price
-Total estimated cost
=Profit
Cost incurred to date/ Total estimated cost=%
Profit *%=Gross Profit
accumulated cost incurred + cumulative gross profit recognized > cumulative billing
current asset
cost incurred + profit recognized > billing
accumulated cost incurred + cumulative gross profit recognized < Cumulative billing
current liability
cost ncurred +profit recognized < billing
Installment sale method
Delays revenue recognition by recognizing revenue as cash is collected rather than accelerating revenue recogniton
Cost recovery method
Delays revenue recognition until all costs have been collected rather than accelerating revenue recognition.
Cost method
when installment sale are material, there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility
Installment sale method should be used only if
the amount ultimately collectible can not be estimated, impossible to established a reasonable bad debt percentage. it is possible some amount will be collected, but cannot be projected.
Cost recovery method used when
collection is in doubt
Under current cost accounting
specific price index used
Current cost/constant dollar
both specific and general price level change
INFLATION AND APPRECIATION
Historical cost/ nominal dollar
no price level change
NEITHER
Current cost/nominal dollar
specific price level change(specific price index)
APPRECIATION
Historical cost/constant dollar
general price level change
INFLATION
