Explanation:
The question is an example of a Performance Contract.
A Performance Contract is an agreement with a customer by a vendor to discharge a service or provide goods that are distinct from each other. The accounting for this obligations will therefore be recorded and recognized separately.
It is also important to note that the services or goods must be separately identifiable and the customer must be able to derive from each goods on individually or jointly.
The rule is to
- Recognize the contract and invoice amount with the customer as Deferred Income.
- Identify the distinct obligations and services to be provided.
- Identify the transaction amount for each service or good.
- As each obligation is met, the revenue is finally recognized and transferred from Deferred income.
