Your boss has asked you to determine the appropriate U.S. GAAP that specifies how your company should recognize revenues from the sales of products in a retail store. Your boss is confused because most customers pay cash, but some customers purchase on credit terms, and pay in cash 30 days later. Your manager also wants you to determine the GAAP guidance for how revenue should be recognized in income. Your manager has a lot of knowledge and experience in accounting and has heard about, but has never used, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification system. Directions Use the FASB Accounting Standards Codification system to conduct the research your manager has assigned to you. Use the Codification to determine how to recognize revenue from retail sales, including the right to return. Be prepared to show your manager the specific FASB ASC references that provide the appropriate guidance. Also prepare a brief memo explaining to your manager the different levels of the Codification and how to use the Codification system.arrow_forward3.

- You are the manager of accounting for a company that sells computer software packages. You have just received word from the comptroller that there has been a change in the expense allowances for employees using their own cars on business. Previously one rate was applied to all employees, but now there will be different allowance rates for regular and nonregular drivers Effective immediately, regular drivers will receive $1.00 per mile for the first 650 miles driven per month, and 25¢ for each additional mile; nonregular drivers will receive 80¢ per mile for the first 150 miles per month, and 25¢ for each additional mile Regular drivers are those who use their own cars frequently on the job to drive to their sales territories. Nonregular drivers are those employees-such as home-office personnel-who only occasionally use their cars on business.

This year you even have an assistant reporting to you—Jane McClain. Jane has come to you with a concern. She noticed that when sales are “booked” over the Internet by credit charge, an entry is made debiting cash (from the credit card) and crediting air traffic liability. When the scheduled flight occurs, UA recognizes the revenue from the ticket. If a ticket is canceled on the Internet, the only entry made is to a database that maintains specific flight information on seat availability. Jane has discovered that customers are e-mailed a “Canceled Reservation” form when this occurs, but no accounting journal entry is recorded, and no refund occurs until the customer requests (in writing) a refund. If the customer never requests the refund, a credit to the individual’s credit card account is never issued; when they do not get refunds on their credit…arrow_forward
