When is revenue recognized?
When a performance obligation is met by transfer of good or service
Revenue should be recognized in the amount EXPECTED
What is the five step approach to recognizing revenue (ISTAR)
- IDENTIFY the contract
2.SEPARATE the performance obligations
3.Determine the TRANSACTION price - ALLOCATE the transaction price to the separate performance obligations
- RECOGNIZE revenue as each performance obligation is met
What is the definition of a contract
An agreement that creates enforceable rights and obligations
*can be verbal, written or implied
When should contracts be combined?
-The contracts are negotiated as a package with a single objective
-They are tied to one another
-They represent a single performance obligation
When is a contract modification treated as a new contract?
-The scope increases due to the addition of distinct goods or services and
-The price increases
What criteria makes a performance obligation distinct?
- separately identifiable AND
- Customer can benefit from the good or service independently or with their available resources
What makes a transfer of goods or service separately identifiable?
-The separate goods or services do not integrate
-The good or services do not customize or modify one another
-They do not depend on or relate to each other
What makes a transfer of goods or service not separately identifiable?
Goods or services are highly interrelated or interdependent
What factors are considered when determining the transaction price?
- Variable consideration
- Significant financing
- Noncash considerations
- Consideration payable to customers
How is variable consideration estimated?
1 Using the weighted average probability of the expected values or
2 The most likely amount
How does financing effect transaction price?
Future values must be discounted to PV
PV = FV/(1+R)^N
*If time between transfer is less than 1 year then discounting is unnecessary
How is interest accrued after the present value is calculated?
year 1 PV * rate = yr 1 interest
(PV + yr 1 interest) * rate = yr 2 interest
(PV + yr 1 interest + yr 2 interest) * rate = yr 3 interest
How is transaction price allocated?
It is allocated in proportion to the standalone selling price of each item
*multi-year contracts are summed up to reflect total value
How is ongoing service revenue recognized in a JE
-Upon sale
DR Cash
CR Unearned Service Revenue
-Each year as the service is provided
DR Unearned service revenue
CR Service Revenue
*For partial years allocate on a per month basis
When is revenue recognized over time? Step 5
-The service enhances an asset within the customers control (annual service contract) or
-Customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits (subscription service) or
-Entity’s performance does not create an asset with alternative use (not basic inventory)
