Sue has contacted you, a certified public accountant, about the following concern. She would like to attract some investors, but she believes that in order to recognize revenue she must first "deliver" the product. Therefore, on her balance sheet, she did not recognize any gross profits from the above contract until 2012, when she recognized the entire $310,000. That looked good for 2012, but the preceding years looked grim by comparison. She wants to know about an alternative to this completed-contract revenue recognition.
Instructions
Draft a letter to Sue, telling her about the percentage-of-completion method of recognizing revenue. Compare it to the completed-contract method. Explain the idea behind the percentage-of-completion method.
In addition, illustrate how much revenue she could have recognized in 2010, 2011, and 2012 if she had used thismethod.
