John disagreed and supported recognizing revenue over time, stating that it was analogous to accruing revenue as a satisfied performance obligation. John also pointed out that an advantage of recognizing revenue over time is that it provides information sooner to users. Discuss the arguments made by both students. Which argument do you support?
