On November 20, 2019, Mr. Murphy signed a service contract with Eastern State University. Under the contract, Blooming Colors will provide landscaping services for all Of Easterns buildings for a period of 2 years beginning on January l, 2020, and Eastern will pay Blooming Colors on a monthly basis beginning on January 31, 2020.

Initially, Mr. Murphy proposed that the revenue from the contract should be recognized when the contract is signed in 2019; however, his accountant, Sue Storm, convinced him that this would be inappropriate.

Required: Put yourself in the position of Sue Storm. How would you convince Mr. Murphy that his two proposals are unacceptable and that an equal amount of revenue should be recognized every month?

Case 3-72 Cash- or Accrual-Basis Accounting Karen Ragsdale owns a business that rents parking spots to students at the local university. Karens typical rental contract requires the student to pay the years rent of $450 ($50 per month) on September 1. When Karen prepares financial statements at the end of December, her accountant requires that Karen spread the $450 over the 9 months that each parking Spot is rented.

Karen argues that getting students to agree to rent the parking Spot is the most difficult part of the activity so she Ought to be able to recognize all $450 as revenue when the cash is received from a student. Required: Why do generally accepted accounting principles require the use of accrual accounting rather than cash-basis accounting for transactions like the one described here?
