The Nature of Interest
payment for the use of money
Simple Interest
Interest computed on the principle only
Ex: borrow $10,000 for 3 years at simple interest rate of 8%
Interest = 10,000 * 0.08 * 1
Compound Interest
Principe and interest earned that has not been paid or withdrawn (typical for businesses)
5 Steps of Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
Recognize revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers for the amount the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services
No contract = No Revenue Recognized
A Contract Exists When:
a. Parties have approved the contract
b. Rights and obligations of parties are established
c. The contract has commercial substance
d. Payment terms are established
e. Collection is probable
What are we selling?
Performance Obligation and Separate Performance Obligation
Performance Obligation
a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer
Separate Performance Obligation
a. Capable of being distinct (can be sold on its own)
AND
b. Distinct within the contract (customer can obtain the benefit on its own or with other readily available resources)
Transaction price = the amount of consideration a company expects to receive from the customer
a. Time Value of Money
b. Variable Consideration
c. Non-Cash Consideration
d. Discount
Time Value of Money
Financing a purchase for more than a year.
Revenue is present value of future payments discounted at reasonable rate of interest.
Variable Consideration
Amount to be received depends on some future event.
Must determine amount to be collected.
–probability weighted approach
OR
–most likely approach (>50% chance)
*can only include variable consideration in revenue to the extranet it is probable that a significant reversal will not happen in the future
Ex: Construction bonuses staggered, deadline is August 1st, but if finished by July 1st $200 extra.
Non-Cash Consideration
Record based on the fair value of what is received
Discounts
Record revenue net of discounts
Generally allocate based on relative stand-alone prices or fair value of performance obligation(s)
If there is no stand-alone value:
a. Market Assessment Approach
b. Cost + Margin
c. Residual Approach
*(must be in order)
Example of Separate Performance Obligations (warranties)
1) Quality Assurance Warranty (automatically comes with the product and customer does nor pay extra for it) = NOT a separate performance obligation
2) Extended Warranty (customer pays extra for it) = IS a separate performance obligation
Performance obligation is satisfied when the customer obtains CONTROL of product/service.
Control = the customer has direct influence over the use of good/service and obtains the benefit
5 Guidelines for when Control has Passed to the Customer
*(don’t need all, only need enough to be sure)
Method of Allocating Sales Price between Performance Obligations (E17-10)
Stand alone value:
Windows = 2,000
Installation = 600
Total = 2,600
Divide 2,000/2,600 to get percentage of cost for windows = 77% and 600/2,600 installation = 23%
Multiply by transaction price of 2,400
Transaction price:
Windows = 1,848
Installation = 552
(E17-10) Continued (Journal Entries)
July 1st (entering into contract) - nothing
Sept 1st (windows are delivered):
Dr. Cash 2,000
Dr. A/R 400
Cr. Revenue 1,848
Cr. Unearned Revenue 552
Dr. COGS 1,100
Cr. Inventory 1,100
Oct 15th (installation completed):
Dr. Cash 400
Dr. Unearned Rev. 552
Cr. Revenue 552
Cr. A/R 400
(E17.11) (same problem as E17.10 but) –> Cost + Margin
Standalone selling price is based on cost of $400 + margin of 20% on cost
Windows = 2,000
Installation = 400 + (400 * 20%) = 480
Total = 2,480
Percentages: (2000/2480) and (480/2480)
Windows = 81%
Installation = 19%
Multiplied by transaction price of 2,400
Windows = 1,944
Installation = 456
E17.11 - Residual Approach
Since Windows stand alone price = 2,000 and the transaction price is 2,400, we allocate the rest of the price to the installation since we do not know the standalone price so…
Installation = 400
Rebates (Recognizing Revenue)
Since Nolan sold up to 40,000 units in the prior quarter. They will most likely hit the 30,000 unit so get a rebate of 6%. So,
Sales price = 110,000
110,000 * 0.06 = 6,600
110,000 - 6,600 = 103,400
Dr. A/R 103,400
Cr. Revenue 103,400
OR
Dr. A/R 110,000
Cr. Revenue 103,400
Cr. Rebate Liability 6,600
