If an entity recognises the revenue associated with a contract with a customer over time (rather than at a point in time), would this approach be considered more conservative than an approach that defers profit recognition until the completion of the contract (that is, at a future point in time)?
Under the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC Topic 606, which of the following statements is true regarding contracts with customer options?
In some cases where customers have an option to acquire additional goods or services, an evaluation is required to determine if the option creates an additional performance obligation.
An additional performance obligation is created if the customer could obtain the same rights to additional goods or services without entering the contract.
An additional performance obligation is created if the option provides the customer a right to purchase the goods or services at the stand-alone selling price for those goods or services.
It is generally not considered a performance obligation when a retailer grants a "customer appreciation dividend" to a customer.
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false.
Farhgate Inc. should recognize revenue when the performance obligation has been satisfied and when cash is received. Answer
If Massy sells its product but gives the buyer the right to return it, Massy should not recognize revenue until the sale is collected. Answer
If it is difficult to determine the outcome of the contract (estimating costs and determining project revenue), IFRS requires the application of the zero-profit method. Answer
