Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

a. The 2 contracts should be combined.

b. $123,000 for Contract A

$82,000 for Contract B

c. Revenue should be recognized when control of goods has transferred to the customer.

Explanation:

Part a:

Answer: Yes. The 2 contracts should be combined.

Reasoning:

5-step revenue recognition model indicates identification of contracts with customer in the first step, identification of performance obligations of the contract in the second step, transaction price determination in the third step, allocation of transaction price to the performance obligations to the fourth step and recognition of revenue as the performance obligations in the fifth step. Therefore, two contracts should be combined.

Part b:

Calculate the amount of revenue should P associate with each of the contracts.

There are two performance obligations:

Goods from contract A ($120,000 + ($5000 x 60%)) = $123000

Goods from contract B ($80,000 + ($5000 x 40%)) = $82000

Reasoning: It is given that the stand-alone prices for Contract A is $120,000 and Contract B is $80,000. Contract price of Contract A is $125,000. Thus, the additional $5,000 should be split between the 2 contracts. Hence, the performance obligations for goods from contract A is $123,000 and goods from contract B is $82,000.

Part C:

Revenue should be recognized when control of goods has transferred to the customer.

Reasoning:

Performance obligation is satisfied when transfer the good or service to the customer. Recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied is the fifth step of the 5-step revenue recognition model. Hence, revenue should be recognized when control of goods has transferred to the customer.
