TRUE-FALSEConceptual
1.
Companies should recognize revenue when it is realized and when cash is received.
2.
Revenues are realized when a company exchanges goods and services for cash or claims
to cash.
3.
Delayed recognition of revenue is appropriate if the sale does not represent substantial
completion of the earnings process.
4.
If a company sells its product but gives the buyer the right to return it, the company should
not recognize revenue until the sale is collected.
5.
Companies can recognize revenue prior to completion and delivery of the product under
certain circumstances.
6.
Companies must use the percentage-of-completion method when estimates of progress

toward completion are reasonably dependable.
7.
The most popular input measure used to determine the progress toward completion is the
cost-to-cost basis.
8.
If the difference between the Construction in Process and the Billings on Construction in
Process account balances is a debit, the difference is reported as a current asset.
9.
The Construction in Process account includes only construction costs under the
percentage-of-completion method.
10.
Under the completed-contract method, companies recognize revenue and costs only when
the contract is completed.
11.
The principal advantage of the completed-contract method is that reported revenue reflects
final results rather than estimates.
12.
Companies must recognize a loss on an unprofitable contract under the percentage-ofcompletion method but not the completed-contract method.
13.
A loss in the current period on a profitable contract must be recognized under both the
percentage-of-completion and completed-contract method.
14.
Under the completion-of-production basis, companies recognize revenue when agricultural crops are harvested since the sales price is reasonably assured and no significant
costs are involved in product distribution.
15.
The provision for a loss on an unprofitable contract may be combined with the Construction
in Process account balance under percentage-of-completion but not completed-contract.
16.
Under the installment-sales method, companies defer revenue and income recognition until
the period of cash collection.
Revenue Recognition
18 - 7
17.
The installment-sales method defers only the gross profit instead of both the sales price
and cost of goods sold.
18.
Deferred gross profit is generally treated as an unearned revenue and classified as a

current liability.
19.
Under the cost-recovery method, a company recognizes no revenue or profit until cash
payments by the buyer exceed the cost of the merchandise sold.
20.
Companies recognize profit under the cost-recovery method only when cash collections
exceed the total cost of the goods sold.

EXERCISES
Ex. 18-121 Revenue recognition (essay).
The revenue recognition principle provides that revenue is recognized when (1) it is realized or
realizable and (2) it is earned.
Instructions
Explain when revenues are (a) realized, (b) realizable, and (c) earned.
Solution 18-121
(a) Revenues are realized when goods or services are exchanged for cash or claims to cash
(receivables).
(b) Revenues are realizable when assets received in exchange are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash or claims to cash.
(c) Revenues are earned when the earnings process is complete or virtually complete.
Ex. 18-122Revenue recognition (essay).

The earning of revenue by a business is recognized for accounting purposes when the transaction
is recorded. Revenue is often recognized at time of sale.
Instructions
At what times, other than at time of sale, may it be appropriate to recognize revenue? Explain and
justify each of these times.

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
progress toward completion can be estimated with reasonable accuracy, the percentage-ofcompletion method should be used.
(2) At completion. Examples of revenue recognition at completion of production involve precious
metals and agricultural products with quoted prices. These sales prices are reasonably
assured, there are low additional costs of distribution, and unit costs cannot be determined
because of joint costs.
(3) At collection. When collection is highly uncertain and there is no reasonably objective basis
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
amount cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue recognition should be deferred.
Ex. 18-123Long-term construction contracts (essay).

In accounting for long-term construction contracts (those taking longer than one year to complete),
the two methods commonly followed are percentage-of-completion and completed-contract.
Instructions
(a) Discuss how earnings on long-term construction contracts are recognized and computed
under these two methods.
(b) Under what circumstances should one method be used over the other?
(c) How are job costs and interim billings reflected on the balance sheet under the percentage-ofcompletion method and the completed-contract method?
Solution 18-123
(a)
The revenue recognized on a long-term construction contract under the percentage-ofcompletion method is determined by applying a percentage representing the degree of
completion to the total contract price at the end of the accounting period. The percentage
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
reduced by the direct contract costs to determine the gross profit recognized in the initial
period.
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.
(b)
The percentage-of-completion method should be used when estimates of the bases upon
which progress is measured are reasonably dependable and all the following conditions
exist:
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
manner and terms of settlement.
2. The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
3. The contractor can be expected to perform the contractual obligation.
The completed-contract method should be used when inherent hazards or lack of dependable estimates cause the forecasts to be of doubtful value.
(c)
Under the percentage-of-completion method, a schedule is made of the contracts in process,

showing the total costs incurred as of the end of a given period, the estimated gross profit
recognized based on the degree of completion, and the total billings rendered on each
individual contract. If costs incurred plus recognized profits exceed the related billings on a
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
customer for that portion of work completed but not yet billed. If billings on a contract exceed
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
complete the work represented by the excess billings.
Under the completed-contract method, the treatment of excess costs and billings is the same
as under the percentage-of-completion method except that estimated profits are not
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
related costs on a contract is a current liability.

Dobson Construction specializes in the construction of commercial and industrial buildings. The
contractor is experienced in bidding long-term construction projects of this type, with the typical
project lasting fifteen to twenty-four months. The contractor uses the percentage-of-completion
method of revenue recognition since, given the characteristics of the contractor's business and
contracts, it is the most appropriate method. Progress toward completion is measured on a cost to
cost basis. Dobson began work on a lump-sum contract at the beginning of 2013. As bid, the

Short Answer:
1. What is a major difference between IFRS and U.S. GAAP as regards revenue recognition
practices?
1. The general concepts and principles used for revenue recognition are similar between U.S. GAAP
and IFRS. 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 IFRS. Also, the SEC has 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. IFRS 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.
