revenue recognition definition
occurs when an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer
five-step approach for revenue recognition
1) Identify the contract with the customer
2) Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract
3) Determine the transaction price
4) Allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations
5) Recognize revenue when or as entity satisfies each performance obligation
contract
an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations
can be written, verbal or implied
customer
have a contract with business to pay for their services or goods
five criteria for identifying a contract
1) all parties approved contract and committed to performance obligations
2) rights of each party for contracted goods/services identified
3) payment terms identified
4) contract will generate cash flows
5) probable entity will receive all consideration
-assessment made at inception of contract
-if criteria met= only reassess if significant changes
-if all not met = regular reassessments
-if not all met and paid = recognize revenue if payment nonrefundable and no remaining obligations; if not recognized as revenue, book as a liability
combination of contracts
-if two or more with the same customer of related parties of the customer:
1) contracts treated as a single contract for one objective
2) payment for one contract is tied to performance or price of another contract
3) goods/services promised represent as single performance obligation
contract modification
-change in price or scope of contract agreed by both parties
-modification occurs, either treated as new contract or change to existing contract
when modification creates a new contract
1) scope increases due to addition of individual goods or services
2) price increase reflects stand-alone selling prices of additional goods/services
performance obligation
-promise to transfer a good or service to customer (either bundle or individual and distinct)
-or series of goods substantially the same and transferred in same manner
-if goods/services not distinct, combined into a single performance obligation
criteria for goods/services to be distinct
1) good to be transferred separately identifiable from other goods or services in contract
2) customer can benefit from good on their own or combined with resources customer already has
when a good is separately identifiable
1) entity does not integrate good or service with other goods of services in the contract
2) good/service does not modify another good/service in another contract
3) good or service not depend on other goods or services in contract
when goods not separately identifiable
1) goods dependent or interrelated
2) entity provides service to integrate the goods/services into a bundle of goods or services
determine the transaction price
-amt the business expects to be entitled to for transferring goods or services to customer
-should consider transaction price based on variable consideration, significant financing or noncash consideration and any consideration owed to the customer
variable consideration
-estimated by taking a range of possible amts and using either the expected value (sum of probability weighted amts) OR most likely amt, whichever is better predictor
-only included in price if it is probable significant revenue reversal not be required once any uncertainty of receiving consideration resolved
significant financing
-revenue recognized based on price that would have been paid in cash by the customer at time of transfer
-if time of transfer of goods/service and payment by customer anticipated to be less than one year, do not discount transaction price
