331 Exam 3

3rd Exam

TermDefinition
Step 1 in Recognizing Revenue Identify the Contract (legal rights of seller and customer established)
Step 2 in Recognizing Revenue Identify the Performance obligation(s) (single or multiple)
Step 3 in Recognizing Revenue Determine the Transaction price (amount seller is entitled to receive from customer)
Step 4 in Recognizing Revenue Allocate the transaction price (Single - requires no allocation, multiple - allocate a portion to each performance obligation)
Step 5 in Recognizing Revenue Recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied (single - at a point in time or over a period of time, Multiple - at whatever time is appropriate for each performance obligation)
What are the indicators that control has transferred to the customer? Customer has obligation to pay, legal title, physical possession, assumed the risks and rewards of ownership and accepted the asset.
Revenue is recognized over a period of time if any of what 3 criteria is met? 1. The customer CONSUMES THE BENEFIT of the seller's work as it is performed 2. The customer CONTROLS THE ASSET AS IT IS CREATED 3. The seller is creating an asset that has NO ALTERNATIVE USE to the seller
Output - based estimate Measured as the proportion of the goods or services transferred to date
Input - based estimate Measured as the proportion of effort expended thus far relative to the total effort expected to satisfy the performance obligation. (resources you have put in compared to the total you expect to use)
A good or service is distinct if it is both... 1. Capable of being distinct 2. SEPARATELY IDENTIFIABLE from other goods or services in the contract
What are not considered performance obligations Prepayments, Quality assurance warranties, and right of return
What are considered performance obligations Extended warranties, and options that provide a material right
Extended warranties A warranty is an extended warranty if the customer is paying an additional fee for an above and beyond warranty.
Quality-assurance warrantities Part of the performance obligation to deliver products of acceptable quality (considered fulfilling original obligation)
Right of return Represents a potential failure to satisfy the original performance obligation to provide goods that the customer wants to keep
Variable Considerations Portion of a transaction price depends on the outcome of future events EX: Construction - incentive payments
Methods of estimation Expected value and most likely amount
Expected value calculation Take bonus multiplied by chance you have of getting it and add it to the fixed amount.
Most likely amount You go with the most probable outcome
Principal seller Performance obligation is to provide goods and services (record total sales price paid by customers and COGS)
Agent Seller (middleman) Performance obligation is to facilitate a transaction between a principal and a customer (only record commission it receives on transaction.
If Time value of money is a significant part of the contract, the seller should view the transaction price as consisting of 2 components... 1. Delivery component (the cash price of goods) 2. Financing component (the interest considered paid to the customer (in the case of a prepayment) or the seller (in the case of a receivable)
If the seller purchases something from the customer for more than fair value it is considered... a refund
Adjusted market assessment approach Price if the product/services were sold in the market
Expected cost plus margin approach Estimate the costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate profit margin
Residual approach Subtract the sum of the known or estimated stand alone selling prices of other goods and services in the contract from the total transaction price of the contract
Licenses of functional intellectual property (franchises) transfer a right of use, recognize revenue at a point in time (a music download, requires no seller effort)
Licenses of symbolic IP (franchises) Transfer seller's IP with the understanding that the seller will undertake ongoing activities (need seller to maintain product) EX: Logos, brand names, franchise rights
Licenses of Exception (franchises) functional IP is viewed as transferring a right of access (and requiring revenue recognition over time) if both. Ex: occasional Updates/maintenance is required.
Journal entry to record construction costs incurred Debit CIP Credit Cash, materials, etc
Journal entry to record progress on billings Debit: A/R Credit: Billings on construction contract
Journal entry to record cash collections Debit: Cash Credit: A/R
Equation to find revenue recognized this period = (total estimated revenue x Percentage completed) - revenue recognized in prior periods
Trade discounts A percentage reduction from the list price. Includes quantity discounts to large customers
Sales discounts Reduction in the amount to be paid by a credit customer if paid within a specified period of time. EX: 2/10, n/30
Gross Method for sales discounts Assumes customers will NOT take the discount and then revenue is reduced for any discounts taken
Net Method for sales discounts Assumes customers WILL take the discount then increases revenue for discounts forfeited
JE for Gross Method if discount is actually used Debit Cash and Sales Discounts, Credit A/R
JE for Net Method if discount is not actually used Debit cash, credit A/R and sales discounts forfeited
If a return occurs, then at the end of the reporting period... Debit sales returns and credit refund liability
methods to account for credit losses Direct write off method and allowance method
Direct Write-Off Method (Not GAAP) Wait until a particular account is deemed uncollectible and write it off at that time. (overstates the balance in A/R in the periods prior to the write off)
Allowance Method Uses allowance for uncollectible accounts, to reduce A/R to what the company expects to collect
Estimating the allowance for uncollectable accounts (2 approaches) 1. Balance sheet approach 2. Income statement approach
Balance sheet approach Company estimates what the ending balance of the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be, and then records the amount of bad debt expense necessary to adjust the allowance to that desired balance
Income statement approach Estimate bad debt expense directly as a percentage of each period's net credit sales
JE for write offs Debit Allowance for uncollectable accounts Credit A/R
Interest of Notes formula Face amount x annual rate x months/12
Estimating the transaction price involves a variety of considerations, incuding: Variable consideration, right of return, principal or agent, time value of money, payments by the seller to customer
Accounting for Long term contracts (2 options) By the end of the contract the SAME AMOUNT of total profit or loss will have been recognized regardless of whether the revenue was recognized over time or upon completion.
CIP in excess of billings is a contract... Asset
Billings in excess of CIP is a contract... liability
Cash Amounts READILY AVAILABLE to pay off debt or to use in operations

Accrue sales returns and allowances at the time of... sale
When is bad debt expense recognized earlier, when accounts are estimated to be uncollectible and the allowance is created
JE to recognize bad debt and establish the allowance Debit Bad debt expense Credit Allowance for uncollectible accounts
JE for Reinstatement (after a previous write off) Debit A/R Credit Allowance for uncollectible accounts
Short-term interest bearing notes Involves the collection of a specified face amount (principal) at a specified maturity date. In addition, interest is received at a stated percentage of the face amount
Short term noninterest bearing notes REALLY DO HAVE INTEREST
Long term noninterest bearing notes If long-term notes are received in exchange for goods and services, the FINANCING component of the transaction is typically viewed as significant for revenue recognition purposes
Discount of note receivable (account) Represents future interest revenue to be recognized over time (contra account to notes receivable)
JE #1 for an example with discount Debit notes receivable Credit Discount on notes receivable Credit Sales revenue
Process to find cash proceeds Face Amount + Interest to maturity (face amount x percent x full term/12) = maturity value Then, Maturity value - discount (maturity value x bank percent x months left in term after sale) = cash proceeds
