Revenue Recognition at the time of collection By: Jenna C., Alexa, Julia S., Melissa and Kristie
Collection of Cash • After goods or services are rendered, revenue is always recognized before or at the same time as cash payment. • There is flexibility in when cash is collected based on each situation.
Introduction to Collectability of Cash • Scenario 1 • Cash Sales • Cash is paid immediately for the good or service that is rendered immediately • Revenue can be recognized immediately
Scenario 2: • Instalment Method • This method is used when a company recognizes that it has generated a large sum of revenue but cannot immediately collect the full amount. • Instead, they agree to divide the payment into smaller sums so that the customer can pay the full amount over a longer period of time. • The total revenue is recognized at the time of the sale but revenue is not yet received until the end of the period of time. • Each payment is divided into 3 parts: Interest Revenue, Principal, and Gross Profit.
Calculation of Installment Method • To calculate Profit Percentage: (Sale Price - COGS)/ Sale Price x 100% • To calculate the Gross Profit: (Cash Received per payment - Interest) x Profit Percent
Scenario 3: • Distributor Sales • In the case that revenue cannot be accounted for until products are sold, revenue recognition must be delayed.
