Requirement – 1
Contract
Contract is a written document that creates legal enforcement for buying and selling the property. It is committed by the parties to performing their obligation and enforcing their rights.
Revenue recognized point of long term contract
A long-term contract qualifies for revenue recognition over time. The seller can recognize the revenue as per percentage of the completion of the project, which is recognized by revenue mines cost of completion until date.
A contract does not meet the performance obligation norm. The seller cannot recognize the revenue till the project complete.
The revenue recognition principle
The revenue recognition principle refers to the revenue that should be recognized in the time period, when the performance obligation (sales or services) of the company is completed.
To calculate: The amount of revenue and gross profit or loss to be recognized in the year 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Explanation of Solution
Recognized revenue
In the year 2018:
Here,
Contract price is $8,000,000,
Actual cost to date is $2,000,000,
Total estimated cost is $6,000,000.
Now, calculate the revenue recognition:
Hence, the calculated revenue recognition is $2,666,667.
In the year 2019:
Here,
Contract price is $8,000,000,
Actual cost to date is $4,500,000,
Total estimated cost is $8,100,000,
Revenue recognition in 2018 is $2,666,667.
Now, calculate the revenue recognition:
Hence, the calculated revenue recognition is $1,777,778.
In the year 2020:
Here,
Contract price is $8,000,000,
Revenue recognition in 2018 is $2,666,667,
Revenue recognition in 2019 is $1,777,778.
Now, calculate the revenue recognition:
Hence, the calculated revenue recognition is $3,555,555.
Recognized gross profit
In the year 2018:
Here,
Revenue recognition in 2018 is $2,666,667
Actual cost to date is $2,000,000.
Now, calculate the gross profit recognition:
Hence, the calculated gross profit recognition is $666,667.
In the year 2019:
Here,
Revenue recognition in 2019 is ($100,000)
Gross profit recognition in 2018 is $666,667.
Now, calculate the gross profit recognition:
Hence, the calculated gross loss recognition is ($766,667).
In the year 2020:
Here,
Revenue recognition in 2020 is ($300,000)
Revenue recognition in 2019 is ($100,000).
Now, calculate the gross profit recognition:
Hence, the calculated gross loss recognition is ($200,000).
