Purchases = $245,000 + $37,500 - $25,000 = $257,500 2. CGS = $257,500 + $145,000 - $130,000 = $272,500 2. Know the accounting cycle and what adjusting entries do. 14.

At the end of each year the company's accountant obtains the necessary information to prepare accrual basis financial statements. The following cash flows occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011: Additional information: 1. On June 30, 2010, Raintree lent a customer $50,000. Interest at 6% is payable annually on each June 30. Principal is due in 2014. 2. The annual insurance payment is made in advance on March 31. 3. Annual rent on the company's facilities is paid in advance on September 30. Required: A. What are the correct ending balances of Prepaid Rent, Interest Receivable, and Prepaid Insurance for 2011 Prepaid Rent: $12,000*9/12 = $9,000. Interest Receivable: $50,000*6/12*6%= $1,500 Prepaid Insurance: $9,000*3/12 = $2,250 B. Assuming that the 12/31/11 pre-adjusted balances for these three accounts are unchanged from their 12/31/10 balances provide the necessary adjusting entries. Prepaid Rent Pre-Adjust Balance = $7,000 Should Equal $9,000 Entry to Get There: DR Prepaid Rent CR Rent Expense $2,000 $2,000 Interest Receivable Pre-Adjust Balance = $1,500 Should Equal $1,500 Entry to get there? No entry is needed for interest receivable Prepaid Insurance Pre-Adjust Balance = $2,000 Should Equal $2,250 DR Prepaid Insurance CR Insurance Expense $ 250 $250 C. Assume instead that the pertinent cash flow has been booked to each of these three accounts during the period so that the pre-adjusted balance reflects this cash flow. What would the adjusting entries now be? Prepaid Rent Pre-Adj Balance is $7,000 + $12,000 = $19,000, so entry is DR Rent Expense CR Prepaid Rent $ 10,000 $10,000 Interest Rec. Pre-Adj Balance is $1,500 - $3,000 = $1,500 CR, so entry is DR Interest Receivable $3,000 CR Interest Revenue $ 3,000 Prepaid Insurance Pre-Adj Balance is $2,000 + $9,000 = $11,000 DR, so entry is DR Insurance Expense CR Prepaid Insurance $ 8,750 $8,750 D. Assume instead that reversing entries are employed for all accounts? How does this simplify things? You just enter the ending balances directly as pre-adjusting balances are $0.

Understand Accounting Implications of Alternative Revenue Recognition Alternatives. 2. Know the Five Step Process for Dealing with Revenue Recognition Challenges. (1. Identify contract; 2. Identify obligations; 3. Determine Price; 4. Allocate Price; 5. Recognize by Obligation.) 3. Know How to Account for Long Term Contracts. 4. General knowledge of issues pertinent to revenue recognition 1. Understand Accounting Implications of Alternative Revenue Recognition Alternatives. Point of Sale Recognition - As opposed to Cash Receipt Based Recognition When Point of Sale is “Complicated” Recognition - “Contract” plays out over time When Point of Sale is “Complicated” Accounting - Long Term Contract Accounting Sidebar: The sale must be a sale. If the customer has the ability and incentive to return whatever is sold or the seller has the unconditional right to reclaim it then it is potentially a lease or a secured borrowing, not a sale. 2.

Know the Five Step Process for Dealing with Revenue Recognition Challenges. (1. Identify contract; 2. Identify obligations; 3. Determine Price; 4. Allocate Price; 5. Recognize by Obligation.) Multiple Performance Obligations Contract Revenue Must be Allocated or Assigned Across Obligations When Obligations are Separable (as in purcased in independent contracts) then simply treat as separate unrelated sales (e.g., extended warranty sold at a fair market price). When Not Separable then Allocate ContractSales Price Across Them. Most Common Allocation Base is Sales Value of Components. Example: Obligation 1 2 3 Total Contract Obligation 1 2 3 Total Contract Separate Market Price $10,000 $15,000 $25,000 Allocated revenue $40,000 Separate Market Price $10,000 $15,000 $25,000 $50,000 % 20 30 50 Allocated revenue $8,000 $12,000 $20,000 $40,000 Notes: 1. Normal (Assurance) Warranty Obligation is not a separate performance obligation. 2. In cases where the market value of one or more of the obligations is unclear then one might assign contract revenue to the known componets at based on separate market values with the residual assigned to the unlcear obligation. 20. Marle Construction enters into a contract with a customer to build a warehouse for $850,000 on March 30, 2014 with a performance bonus of $50,000 if the building is completed by July 31, 2014.

Unearned Revenue - Customer Pays before goods are delivered. 2. Billings - Customer is billed before goods are delivered. 3. Multiple Performance Obligations – Billings, Cash Payments, and Revenue (and expense) recognition occurs over time (as in across reporting periods). 4. Long Term Contracts: Multiple Years, Single Ultimate Performance Obligation with multiple sub-obligations for billing purposes.

Balance sheet valuation of in-process projects (owned by entity, not customer) 5. Balance sheet reporting of Billings and in-process project value Shanahan Construction Company has entered into a contract beginning January 1, 2020, to build a parking complex. It has been estimated that the complex will cost $600,000 and will take 3 years to construct. The complex will be billed to the purchasing company at $900,000. The following data pertain to the construction period. Costs to date Estimated Cost Progress Billing Cash Collected To Complete to date to Date 2020 $270,000 $330,000 $270,000 $240,000 2021 $450,000 $150,000 $550,000 $500,000 2022 $610,000 $0 $900,000 $900,000 Instructions 2021 only a. Using the percentage-of-completion method, compute the cumulative % of the total contract that is estimated to have been completed at the end of each year. 2021: 450/(450+150) = 75% b. Using the percentage of completion method, determine the profit that would be recognized during each year of the construction period. 2021: Revenue = (450/(450+150)) = 75%; (75%-45%)*$900,000 = $270,000. Profit = $270,000 $180,000 = $90,000. TOTAL = $290,000 = $900,000 - $610,000 = $290,000 ITS THE LAW. c. Provide the journal entry to record contract revenue and expense: In 2021: DR Contract Expense DR CIP/Contract Asset CR Contract Revenue $180,000 90,000 $270,000 In 2022: DR Contract Expense DR CIP/Contract Asset CR Contract Revenue $160,000 65,000 $225,000 d.

Contract Cost Accounting Costs incurred each year are accumulated to the cost of the CIP asset. (Remember, Shanahan still owns it, so it hasn’t been sold yet.) During 2021: DR CIP/Contract Asset CR Various Accounts $180,000 $180,000 (A summary journal entry representation) f..

The percentage-of-completion method: A. does not require that collection be reasonably assured. B. recognizes revenue as cash payments on the contract are received. C. can report period losses on profitable contracts. D. is more conservative than the completed-contract method. Generic Percentage of Completion Exercise: 3 Periods, $1M contract price Year Costs Incurred Est. Cost to Complete Est. Total Cost % Complete Cumulative Revenue Period Revenue 1 $250,000 $650,000 $900,000 27.778% $277,778 $277,778 2 $400,000 $200,000 $850,000 76.47% $764,706 $486,828 3 $320,000 $0 $970,000 100% $1M $235,294 Observation, the reported profit each year is the difference in costs incurred and period revenue. So, in year 3 a loss is reported even though an overall profit of $30,000 is made on the project. 22.
