SFAC 5:
recognition and measurement of FS
fundamental assumptions and principles:
5 elements of PV measurement:
COPAS price allocation:
satisfied over time:
[examples]:
- annual services
satisfied at point in time:
[department store example]:
Rev Recognition; Principal vs Agent:
Principal = gross rev Agent = net rev
repurch agreements:
is a borrowing (gave collateral), not a sale
bill-and-hold arrangements:
GR: not a sale (buyers request)
consignment:
not a sale
warranties:
treated as separate performance obligations if:
-no specific tasks required regarding compliance assurance
sale with ROR:
when expected to receive, a refund liability and asset related to subsequent product recovery is recorded
% completion method (contracts):
cost incurred:
Dr CIP
Cr Cash
billings:
Dr A/R
Cr Progress Billings
Pmt’s received:
Dr Cash
Cr A/R
est’d GP:
Dr cost of LT contract
Dr CIP
Cr Revenue from LT contract
construction completed:
Dr Progress Billings
Cr CIP
calculation for current GP for % completion method: [MEMORIZE THIS]
Step 1 [total GP]:
Contract Price
- total est and actual cost
= GP
Step 2 [%completed]:
Cost to date/total est cost = %
Step 3 [GP earned to date]:
GP* % completed
Step 4 [current GP]:
GP earned to date
(-) GP earned PY
= current GP
1st IFRS FS’s must present:
3 BS, 2 all others (and related notes)

subsequent evaluation periods:
*public:
files w/ SEC and must evaluate thru date FS is issued (longer than private)
*private:
all other filers eval thru date FS is available to be issued
creation of new P’ interest with investment of additional capital (3 ways):
[example of bonus]:
A+B+C = 75k/3 = 25k
new paid 35k; 10k bonus for old partners proportionately
