The contract price for the bridge is $7,500,000. During 2002, costs of $1,800,000 were incurred representing 30% of total expected costs. Prepare the necessary entries for 2002 to recognize gross profit for the year assuming the firm uses the (1) completed-contract method. (2) percentage-of-completion method. Solution 3 LO3 (1) Using the completed-contract method, no gross profit is recognized on the contract until the bridge is completed. Thus, no entry is needed. (2) Cost of Long-Term Construction Contracts................ 1,800,000 Construction in Progress............................................ 450,000 * Revenue from Long-Term Construction Contracts. 2,250,000 *

$1,800,000 / 30% = $6,000,000 $7,500,000 - $6,000,000 = $1,500,000 $1,500,000 x 30% = $450,000

Problem 4 Tappan Industrial sells machinery on the installment plan. On September 1, 2002, Tappan entered into an installment sale contract with Western Productions for a six-year period. Equal annual payments under the installment sale are $187,500 and are due on August 31 of each year beginning in 2003. Additional information: (a) The cost of the machinery sold to Western was $637,500. (b) The implicit interest rate on the installment sale is 10%. Compute the income or loss before taxes that Tappan should record for the year ended December 31, 2002, as a result of the above transaction, assuming that circumstances are such that the collection of the installments due under the contract (1) is reasonably assured. (2) cannot be reasonably assured. Solution 4 LO5 (1) Accrual basis: full gross profit recognized in the year of the sale. Determination of selling price: PVn = R(PVAFn/i) Table IV PVn = $187,500 x 4.3553 PVn = $816,619 (rounded)

Problem 13 The importance of revenue to a business enterprise has caused much discussion among accountants as to how the term “revenue” should be defined. The FASB in Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 6, “Elements of Financial Statements,” defines revenue as “inflows or other enhancements of assets of an entity or settlements of its liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity’s ongoing major or central operations.” Evaluate the soundness of the definition of the term “revenue” provided by the FASB in Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 6. Solution 13 LO1 Critics of the FASB’s definition have suggested that the inflow concept used by the FASB in defining revenue confuses the measurement and timing of revenue with the actual revenue process. Revenue is viewed by some as a product of the firm resulting from the creation of goods or services by an enterprise during a given period of time. Defining revenue in terms of inflows of assets imposes upon revenues the measurement criteria for assets. The concept of revenue is broader than the measurement criteria for some other financial statement element. The inflow approach requires a careful statement of which inflows are to be considered revenues and which are not. Assets may increase and liabilities may decrease for a number of reasons other than revenues. Exceptions to the inflow criteria also must be clearly stated. Revenue may be reported prior to a sale occurring with the associated inflow of assets.

Problem 14 Measuring progress toward completion of long-term construction projects can be accomplished in a number of ways. Nonetheless, all of these measurements can be classified into two basic groups: input measures and output measures. Input measures attempt to measure the effort devoted to a project to date compared to the total effort expected to be required in order to complete the project. A common input measure is the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for the project. Output measures attempt to measure the results to date compared to total results when the project is completed. A common output measure would be the number of stories of a building completed compared to the total number of stories to be built. Identify the general problems associated with input and output measures in determining the level of completion of a long-term construction project. Solution 14 LO2 Several general problems exist with input and output measures generally, regardless of the specific methods used to operationalize these measures. Input measures are misleading if a relatively constant relationship does not exist between the input measure and productivity. A construction company building a large multi-story building may first need to excavate 100 feet into the ground in order to construct the appropriate foundation for the building. The excavation may proceed quite smoothly for the first 50 feet but may become more difficulty as hard bedrock is encountered. Costs per foot of excavation may increase. If the higher excavation cost associated with greater depths was not included in the original cost estimates, then the use of a cost as a measure of progress will overstate the progress actually made. Cost incurred also poses problems as a measure of progress when large amounts of expenditures for materials and supplies are made at the inception of the project for use throughout the project. A distinction thus should be made between costs incurred and cost actually contributing to progress. Costs incurred also may pose a problem due to the learning curve effect: As more units are produced, construction can become less costly because the contractor learns the most efficient procedures and methods of construction for the project. Use of the cost of earlier units to measure the cost of all units may also tend to overstate the actual cost of the progress made. Output measures also pose problems, particularly when different output units require different amounts of input effort to complete. The first floor of a multi-story building may require more input effort to complete as a result of foundation and subsurface construction than the second floor. Use of floors completed may understate the actual rate of progress.

Problem 15 The percentage-of-completion method is used to recognize revenue and gross profit for construction and other types of projects that extend beyond one accounting period. A problem similar to long-term construction projects exists in accounting for service revenue that is earned for more than one performance act where such activity extends beyond one accounting period. Provide examples of service activities that might extend beyond one accounting period and propose means of recognizing revenues for such activities. Solution 15 LO4 A proportional measurement approach similar to the percentage-of-completion approach may be adopted for recognizing service revenues. Under the proportional measurement approach, revenue is recognized on the proportional performance of each act. Service transactions may take several different forms, however. If the service transaction involves a specified number of identical or similar acts, then an equal amount of revenue should be recorded for each act performed. A refuse disposal company, for example, would recognize an equal amount of revenue for each weekly removal of a customer’s garbage. A service transaction may involve a specified number of defined but not identical or similar acts. In this case, revenue recognized for each act should be based on the ratio of the direct cost of the individual act to the total estimated direct costs of the transaction times the total revenues from the complete transaction. A correspondence school, for example, may provide lessons, examinations, and grading as part of total package of educational services. These are different acts that are part of the same service transaction. Finally, a service transaction may involve an unspecified number of acts over a fixed time period for performance. In this situation, revenue should be recognized over the period during which the acts will be performed by using the straight-line method unless a better method of relating revenue and performance is appropriate.

T F

1. Revenue should be recognized under the proportional performance method unless the final act of service to be performed is so vital to the contract that earlier acts are relatively insignificant.

T F

2. If no pattern of performance can be determined on a service contract, revenue recognition should be deferred until all services have been rendered.

T F

3. Accounting for service contracts using the cost-to-cost method of input measurement requires inclusion of only direct costs related to the acts of service.

T F

4. Accounting for installment sales using the deferred gross profit approach requires determining a gross profit rate for the sales of each year, and establishing an accounts receivable and a deferred revenue account identified by the year of the sale.

T F
