Question 23

Accounting for Combined Outputs

In a construction contract, if the various goods and services (like plumbing, electrical wiring) are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract, how should they be treated for revenue recognition?

GPT

Answer 23

They should not be treated as distinct goods or services. Instead, they should be accounted for together as a single performance obligation because the customer has contracted for the combined output (e.g., the construction of a building), and the seller integrates all goods and services into this combined output.

Question 24

Revenue Recognition for Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

How is revenue recognized for performance obligations that are satisfied over time in a long-term contract?

GPT

Answer 24

Revenue is recognized over time by measuring progress toward satisfying the performance obligation. This can be done using input methods (e.g., costs incurred as a measure of progress) or output methods (e.g., units produced or milestones achieved). The revenue recognized corresponds to the degree of completion of the contract.

Question 25

# Example of Revenue Recognition Using Cost Incurred If a builder has incurred 60% of the total expected costs in a construction contract, how much revenue should be recognized according to the Converged Revenue Recognition Standard? ## Footnote GPT

Answer 25

The builder should recognize revenue equal to 60% of the contract's total consideration. If the contract specifies $1 million and the expected total costs are $700,000, with $420,000 incurred in costs (60% of total costs), then $600,000 in revenue should be recognized for the first year.

Question 26

Under what circumstances are multiple goods or services integrated into a single performance obligation for revenue recognition?

Answer 26

Multiple goods or services are integrated into a single performance obligation when they are not distinct within the context of the contract. This happens when: The goods or services are highly interdependent or interrelated, meaning one cannot be fulfilled without the others or they are significantly modified or customized to achieve the contract's objective. The bundle of goods or services is designed to achieve a combined outcome specified by the customer.
