- Case 3-73 Recognition of Service Contract Revenue Zac Murphy is president of Blooming Colors Inc. which provides landscaping services in Tallahassee, Florida. 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. Although the same amount of landscaping services will be rendered in every month, the contract provides for higher monthly payments in the first year. 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. Then Mr. Murphy proposed that the revenue should be recognized in an amount equal to the cash collected under the contract. Again, Ms. Storm argued against his proposal, indicating that generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) required recognition of an equal amount of contract revenue each month. 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?arrow_forwardCase 3-73 Recognition of Service Contract Revenue Zac Murphy is president of Blooming Colors Inc. which provides landscaping services in Tallahassee, Florida.

- Exercise 3-40 Revenue and Expense Recognition Electronic Repair Company repaired a high-definition television for Sarah Merrifield in December 2019. Sarah paid $80 at the time of the repair and agreed to pay Electronic Repair $80 each month for 5 months beginning on January 15, 2020. Electronic Repair used $120 of supplies, which were purchased in November 2020, to repair the television. Assume that Electronic Repair uses accrual-basis accounting.

CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Describe the accounting principles used to answer the above questions.arrow_forwardCase 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. Therefore, Karen can recognize only $200 of revenue (4 months) from each parking spot rental contract in the year the cash is collected and must defer (delay) recognition of the remaining $250 (5 months) to the next year. 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.
