TRUE-FALSE—Conceptual
1. Companies should recognize revenue when it is realized and when cash is received.
2. Revenues are realized when a company exchanges goods and services for cash or
claims to cash.

completion of the earnings process.
4. If a company sells its product but gives the buyer the right to return it, the company should
not recognize revenue until the sale is collected.
5. Companies can recognize revenue prior to completion and delivery of the product under

8. If the difference between the Construction in Process and the Billings on Construction in
Process account balances is a debit, the difference is reported as a current asset.
9. The Construction in Process account includes only construction costs under the
percentage-of-completion method.
10. Under the completed-contract method, companies recognize revenue and costs only
when the contract is completed.
11. The principal advantage of the completed-contract method is that reported revenue
reflects final results rather than estimates.
12. Companies must recognize a loss on an unprofitable contract under the percentage-of-
completion method but not the completed-contract method.
13. A loss in the current period on a profitable contract must be recognized under both the
percentage-of-completion and completed-contract method.
14. Under the completion-of-production basis, companies recognize revenue when agricul-
tural crops are harvested since the sales price is reasonably assured and no significant
costs are involved in product distribution.
15. The provision for a loss on an unprofitable contract may be combined with the
Construction in Process account balance under percentage-of-completion but not
completed-contract.
16. Under the installment-sales method, companies defer revenue and income recognition
until the period of cash collection.
17. The installment-sales method defers only the gross profit instead of both the sales price
and cost of goods sold.
18. Deferred gross profit is generally treated as an unearned revenue and classified as a
current liability.
19. Under the cost-recovery method, a company recognizes no revenue or profit until cash
payments by the buyer exceed the cost of the merchandise sold.
20. Companies recognize profit under the cost-recovery method only when cash collections
exceed the total cost of the goods sold.

EXERCISES
Ex. 18-106— Revenue recognition (essay).
The revenue recognition principle provides that revenue is recognized when (1) it is realized or
realizable and (2) it is earned.
Instructions
Explain when revenues are (a) realized, (b) realizable, and (c) earned.
Solution 18-106
(a) Revenues are realized when goods or services are exchanged for cash or claims to cash
(receivables).
(b) Revenues are realizable when assets received in exchange are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash or claims to cash.
(c) Revenues are earned when the earnings process is complete or virtually complete.
Ex. 18-107—Revenue recognition (essay).

The earning of revenue by a business is recognized for accounting purposes when the
transaction is recorded. Revenue is often recognized at time of sale.
Instructions
At what times, other than at time of sale, may it be appropriate to recognize revenue? Explain
and justify each of these times.
Solution 18-107
Revenue is also recognized (1) during production, (2) at completion, and (3) at collection.
(1) During production. The most common situation is the use of the percentage-of-completion
method for long-term construction contracts. The point of sale is much less significant than
production activity. If the contractor can expect to perform the contractual obligation, the
revenue is assured by the contract. To defer recognition until completion of the entire
contract misrepresents the efforts (costs) and accomplishments (revenues) of the interim
periods. If progress toward completion can be estimated with reasonable accuracy, the
percentage-of-completion method should be used.
(2) At completion. Examples of revenue recognition at completion of production involve precious
metals and agricultural products with quoted prices. These sales prices are reasonably
assured, there are low additional costs of distribution, and unit costs cannot be determined
because of joint costs.
(3) At collection. When collection is highly uncertain and there is no reasonably objective basis
for estimating the degree of collectibility, revenue should not be recognized until cash is
received. In addition, if collection costs and bad debts are expected to be high and their
amount cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue recognition should be deferred.
Ex. 18-108—Long-term construction contracts (essay).

In accounting for long-term construction contracts (those taking longer than one year to
complete), the two methods commonly followed are percentage-of-completion and completed-
contract.
Instructions
(a) Discuss how earnings on long-term construction contracts are recognized and computed
under these two methods.
(b) Under what circumstances should one method be used over the other?
(c) How are job costs and interim billings reflected on the balance sheet under the percentage-
of-completion method and the completed-contract method?
Solution 18-108
(a) The revenue recognized on a long-term construction contract under the percentage-of-
completion method is determined by applying a percentage representing the degree of
completion to the total contract price at the end of the accounting period. The percentage
may be derived by dividing the costs incurred to date by the total estimated costs of the
entire contract based on the most recent information. The revenue so derived is then
reduced by the direct contract costs to determine the gross profit recognized in the initial
period.
In subsequent periods, since the percentage-of-completion method described produces
cumulative results, revenue and gross profit recognized in prior periods must be subtracted
to obtain current revenue and gross profit to be recognized.
Under the completed-contract method, no earnings are recognized until the contract is
substantially completed. For the period in which completion occurs, gross revenues include
the total contract price. Total job costs incurred are deducted from gross revenues, resulting
in recognition of the entire amount of gross profit in the completion period. If it is expected
that a loss will occur on the contract, a provision for loss should be recognized immediately
under both the completed-contract method and the percentage-of-completion method.
(b) The percentage-of-completion method should be used when estimates of the bases upon
which progress is measured are reasonably dependable and all the following conditions
exist:
1. The contract clearly specifies the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be
provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the
manner and terms of settlement.
2. The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
3. The contractor can be expected to perform the contractual obligation.
The completed-contract method should be used when inherent hazards or lack of depend-
able estimates cause the forecasts to be of doubtful value.
(c) Under the percentage-of-completion method, a schedule is made of the contracts in

process, showing the total costs incurred as of the end of a given period, the estimated
gross profit recognized based on the degree of completion, and the total billings rendered
on each individual contract. If costs incurred plus recognized profits exceed the related
billings on a contract, this net figure is shown as a current asset. This treatment shows that
the contractor has not fully billed the customer for work performed to date and has a claim
against the customer for that portion of work completed but not yet billed. If billings on a
contract exceed costs incurred plus estimated profits, this net figure is shown as a current
liability, which means that the contractor has overbilled the customer for work done to date
and must complete the work represented by the excess billings.
Under the completed-contract method, the treatment of excess costs and billings is the
same as under the percentage-of-completion method except that estimated profits are not
computed because profit recognition is deferred until a contract is completed. The excess of
costs over related billings on a contract is a current asset while the excess of billings over
related costs on a contract is a current liability.

Pr. 18-117—Long-term construction project accounting.
Benson Construction specializes in the construction of commercial and industrial buildings. The
contractor is experienced in bidding long-term construction projects of this type, with the typical
project lasting fifteen to twenty-four months. The contractor uses the percentage-of-completion
method of revenue recognition since, given the characteristics of the contractor's business and
contracts, it is the most appropriate method. Progress toward completion is measured on a cost
to cost basis. Benson began work on a lump-sum contract at the beginning of 2008. As bid, the
statistics were as follows:
Lump-sum price (contract price) $4,000,000
Estimated costs
Labor $ 850,000
Materials and subcontractor 1,750,000
Indirect costs 400,000 3,000,000
$1,000,000
Pr. 18-117 (cont.)

At the end of the first year, the following was the status of the contract:
Billings to date $2,230,000
Costs incurred to date
Labor $ 464,000
Materials and subcontractor 1,098,000
Indirect costs 193,000 1,755,000
Latest forecast total cost 3,000,000
It should be noted that included in the above costs incurred to date were standard electrical and
mechanical materials stored on the job site, but not yet installed, costing $105,000. These costs
should not be considered in the costs incurred to date.
Instructions

(b) Indicate the amount of gross profit that would be reported on this contract at the end of
2008.
(c) Make the journal entry to record the income (loss) for 2008 on Benson's books.
(d) Indicate the account(s) and the amount(s) that would be shown on the balance sheet of
Benson Construction at the end of 2008 related to its construction accounts. Also indicate
where these items would be classified on the balance sheet. Billings collected during the
