On January 1, 2019, Mopps Corp. agrees to provide Conklin Company 3 years of cleaning and janitorial services. The contract sets the price at 12,000 per year, which is the normal standalone price that Mopps charges. On December 31, 2020, Mopps and Conklin agree to modify the contract. Mopps reduces the fee for the third year to 10,000, and Conklin agrees to a 4-year extension that will extend services through December 31, 2024, at a price of 15,000 per year. At the time that the contract is modified, Mopps is charging other customers 13,500 for the cleaning and janitorial service. Required: Should Mopps and Conklin treat the modification as a separate contract? If so how should Mopps account for the contract modification on December 31, 2020? Support your opinion by discussing the application to this case of the factors that need to be considered for determining the accounting for contract modifications.
It is February 16, 2020, and you are auditing Davenport Corporation's financial statements for 2019 (which will be issued in March 2020). You read in the newspaper that Travis Corporation, a major customer of Davenport, is in financial difficulty. Included in Davenports accounts receivable is 50,000 (a material amount) owed to it by Travis. You approach Jim Davenport, president, with this information and suggest that a reduction of accounts receivable and recognition of a loss for 2019 might be appropriate. Jim replies, Why should we make an adjustment? Ted Travis, the president of Travis Corporation, is a friend of mine; he will find a way to pay us, one way or another. Furthermore, this occurred in 2020, so lets wait and see what happens; we can always make an adjustment later this year. Our 2019 income and year-end working capital are not that high; our creditors and shareholders wouldnt stand for lower amounts than they already are. Required: From financial reporting and ethical perspectives, prepare a response to Jim Davenport regarding this issue.
