Solution 18-122
Revenue is also recognized (1) during production, (2) at completion, and (3) at collection.
(1) During production. The most common situation is the use of the percentage-of-completion
method for long-term construction contracts. The point of sale is much less significant than
production activity. If the contractor can expect to perform the contractual obligation, the
revenue is assured by the contract. To defer recognition until completion of the entire contract
misrepresents the efforts (costs) and accomplishments (revenues) of the interim periods. If
De

progress toward completion can be estimated with reasonable accuracy, the percentage-of-
completion method should be used.
liv

(2) At completion. Examples of revenue recognition at completion of production involve precious

e

metals and agricultural products with quoted prices. These sales prices are reasonably
re

assured, there are low additional costs of distribution, and unit costs cannot be determined
d

because of joint costs.

to

(3) At collection. When collection is highly uncertain and there is no reasonably objective basis
yo

for estimating the degree of collectibility, revenue should not be recognized until cash is
received. In addition, if collection costs and bad debts are expected to be high and their
u

amount cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue recognition should be deferred.

completion method and the completed-contract method?

co
m

Solution 18-123
/tb

(a) The revenue recognized on a long-term construction contract under the percentage-of-
s

completion method is determined by applying a percentage representing the degree of

re

completion to the total contract price at the end of the accounting period. The percentage
so

may be derived by dividing the costs incurred to date by the total estimated costs of the
entire contract based on the most recent information. The revenue so derived is then
urc

reduced by the direct contract costs to determine the gross profit recognized in the initial
period.
es

In subsequent periods, since the percentage-of-completion method described produces

cumulative results, revenue and gross profit recognized in prior periods must be subtracted
to obtain current revenue and gross profit to be recognized.

Revenue Recognition 18 - 35

Solution 18-123 (cont.)

Under the completed-contract method, no earnings are recognized until the contract is
substantially completed. For the period in which completion occurs, gross revenues include
the total contract price. Total job costs incurred are deducted from gross revenues, resulting
in recognition of the entire amount of gross profit in the completion period. If it is expected
that a loss will occur on the contract, a provision for loss should be recognized immediately
under both the completed-contract method and the percentage-of-completion method.
De

(b) The percentage-of-completion method should be used when estimates of the bases upon
liv

which progress is measured are reasonably dependable and all the following conditions
exist:
e
re

1. The contract clearly specifies the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be
provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the
d

manner and terms of settlement.

to

2. The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
3. The contractor can be expected to perform the contractual obligation.
yo

The completed-contract method should be used when inherent hazards or lack of depend-
u

able estimates cause the forecasts to be of doubtful value.

by

(c) Under the percentage-of-completion method, a schedule is made of the contracts in process,
tb

showing the total costs incurred as of the end of a given period, the estimated gross profit
s

recognized based on the degree of completion, and the total billings rendered on each
re

individual contract. If costs incurred plus recognized profits exceed the related billings on a
so

contract, this net figure is shown as a current asset. This treatment shows that the contractor
has not fully billed the customer for work performed to date and has a claim against the
ur

customer for that portion of work completed but not yet billed. If billings on a contract exceed
ce

costs incurred plus estimated profits, this net figure is shown as a current liability, which
means that the contractor has overbilled the customer for work done to date and must
s.w

complete the work represented by the excess billings.

Under the completed-contract method, the treatment of excess costs and billings is the same
ix.

as under the percentage-of-completion method except that estimated profits are not
co

computed because profit recognition is deferred until a contract is completed. The excess of
costs over related billings on a contract is a current asset while the excess of billings over
m

related costs on a contract is a current liability.

Ex. 18-130—Installment sales.

Finley Company sells office equipment. On January 1, 2011, Finley entered into an installment
sale contract with Miller Company for a six-year period expiring January 1, 2017. Equal annual
payments under the installment sale are $936,000 and are due on January 1. The first payment
was made on January 1, 2011.
Additional information is as follows:
De

The cash selling price of the equipment, i.e., the amount that would be realized on an
outright sale, is $4,584,000.
liv

The cost of sales relating to the equipment is $3,825,000.

e

The finance charges relating to the installment period are $1,032,000 based on a stated
re

interest rate of 9% which is appropriate. For tax purposes, Finley appropriately uses the
d

accrual basis for recording finance charges.

to

Circumstances are such that the collection of the installment sale is reasonably assured.
yo

The installment sale qualified for the installment method of reporting for tax purposes.

Assume that the income tax rate is 30%.

Short Answer:

re

1. What is a major difference between iGAAP and U.S. GAAP as regards revenue recognition
practices?
so
u

1. The general concepts and principles used for revenue recognition are similar between U.S. GAAP
rc

and iGAAP. When they differ is in the detail. U.S. GAAP provides specific guidance related to
revenue recognition in many different industries. That is not the case for iGAAP. Also, the SEC has
es

issued broad and specific guidance for public companies in the United States related to revenue
recognition. Again the IASB does not have a regulatory body that provides additional guidance .

2. iGAAP prohibits the use of the completed-contract method in accounting for long-term
contracts. If revenues and costs are difficult to estimate, how must companies account for
long-term contracts?
2. If revenues and costs are difficult to estimate, then companies recognize revenue only to the extent
of the cost incurred – a zero-profit approach.
