Applies to an entity’s contracts with customersSome key aspects apply to transfers of non-financial assets that are not businessesDoes not apply to:Lease contractsInsurance contractsTransfers of financial assets/ contractual rights within financial assets
GuaranteesScopeRevenue RecognitionSlide8
The five steps revenue recognition process
Core principle: Recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services
This revenue recognition model is based on a control approach
which differs from the risks and rewards approach applied under current U.S. GAAP.Slide9
Step 1: Identifying the contractA legally enforceable contract (oral or implied) must meet all of the following requirements:
A contract will not be in the scope if:
The contract has commercial substance
The parties have approved the contract and are committed to performThe entity can identify each party’s rights regarding goods or servicesThe entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred
The contract is wholly unperformed
Each party
can unilaterally terminate the contract without compensation
It is probable the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer
AND
Collectibility thresholdSlide10
Identifying the Contract - Tentative FASB Decisions:FASB ClarificationsCollectability
The standard would be amended to clarify that:An entity would not simply assess the probability of collecting all the consideration in a contract. Rather, collectibility would be assessed on the basis of the amount to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will transfer to the customer (i.e., collectibility is not assessed on those goods or services
that will not transfer because
the customer fails to pay).A contract is considered terminated if the entity has the ability to stop (or has actually stopped) transferring additional goods or services to the customer.Slide11
Step 2: Identifying performance obligations
Are promised goods and services distinct from other goods and services in the contract?Can the customer benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other readily available resources?
Is the good or service separately identifiable from other promises in the contract?
ANDAccount for as a performance obligationCombine 2 or more promised goods or services & reevaluateYES
NO
The ASU defines a
performance obligation
as a promise
to transfer to the customer a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is
distinct
.
CAPABLE OF BEING DISTINCT
DISTINCT IN CONTEXT OF CONTRACT
Identify all (explicit or implicit) promised goods and services in the contract
A series of goods
or services with the same pattern of transfer may
be a single obligationSlide12
Step 2: Identifying performance obligations Distinct in the context of the contractIn order for a promised good or service to be distinct it must be “separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.”Factors that indicate that a promised good or service is distinct include:
No significant service of integrating the good or service (i.e., the entity is not using the good or service as an input to produce or deliver the combined output specified by the customer)The good or service does not significantly modify or customize another good or service promised in the contract.The good or service is “” other promised gnot highly dependent on, or highly interrelated withoods or services in the contract.
The
FASB is providing clarification around identifying performance obligations.Slide13
Identifying Performance Obligations- Tentative FASB Decisions:FASB ClarificationsTo clarify the meaning of a promise that is separately identifiable, due to complexity and judgment in application, the FASB has tentative plans
to:Expand upon the articulation of “separately identifiable,” Reframe the separation criteria to focus on a bundle of goods or services, andAdd examples to the standard’s implementation guidance
ASU 2014-09: Distinct in the Context of the Contract
In order for a promised good or service to be distinct it must be “separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.”Factors that indicate that a promised good or service is distinct include:No significant service of integrating the good or service (i.e., the entity is not using the good or service as an input to produce or deliver the combined output specified by the customer)The good or service does not significantly modify or customize another good or service promised in the contractThe good or service is “not highly dependent on, or highly interrelated with” other promised goods or services in the contractSlide14
Identifying Performance Obligations- Tentative FASB Decisions:FASB ClarificationsImmaterial
Promised Goods or Service Amend the standard to permit entities to evaluate the materiality of promises at the contract level and that, if the promises are immaterial, the entity would not need to evaluate such promises further.Shipping and H
andling Services
Add guidance that clarifies: Before Control Transfers - Shipping and handling activities that occur before control transfers to the customer are fulfillment costs. After Control Transfers - When costs are incurred after control transfers, allow entities to elect a policy to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs if they do not represent the predominant activity in the contract and they occur after control transfers.Slide15
Step 3: Determining the transaction priceTransaction price shall include…fixed considerationvariable consideration (estimated and potentially constrained)noncash considerationadjustments for significant financing componentadjustments for consideration payable to customer
Transaction price does NOT include…effects of customer credit riskPrinciple: The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer (which excludes estimates of variable consideration that are constrained).
Need to consider whether adjustments are for concessions or credit riskSlide16
Variable consideration includes all consideration that is subject touncertainty for reasons other than collectability.Examples include discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, incentives, performance bonuses/penalties, contingencies, price concessions, or other similar items
When accounting for variable consideration an entity shall…Estimate using expected value (probability weighted) or most likely amount methodsSubject to the following “constraint”:Include some or all of the amount of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is “probable” that a subsequent change in the estimate would not result in a significant revenue reversal Consider the following factors in assessing whether the estimated transaction price is subject to significant revenue reversal:Highly susceptible to factors outside entity’s influence
Uncertainty not expected to be resolved for a long time
Entity’s experience is limitedEntity typically offers broad range of price concessions/payment termsBroad range of possible outcomesStep 3: Determining the transaction price Variable considerationException for sales or usage based royalties of IP
The
FASB is providing clarification around
application of the royalty constraint.Slide17
FASB ClarificationsNoncash ConsiderationThe FASB decided to amend the standard to clarify that:An entity should measure FV of noncash consideration at contract inception.
The constraint would not apply to variability in the form of consideration. Thus for noncash consideration, the constraint would apply only to variability resulting from reasons other than the form of consideration.Sales and Usage-Based RoyaltiesThe FASB agreed that an entity would apply the royalty constraint if the license is the “predominant” feature to which the royalty relates.Implications of the tentative decision include:Permits broader application of the royalty constraint (than if it were limited to royalty arrangements that contain only licenses) and
would eliminate the potential need to apply variable consideration and royalty constraint guidance to different portions of a single royalty.Requires judgment to determine whether a license of IP, when “bundled” with other goods or services (i.e., the license is not a distinct performance obligation
), is the predominant item to which the royalty relates. Determining the transaction price - Tentative FASB DecisionsSlide18
Allocate transaction price on a relative standalone selling price basis (estimate standalone selling price if not observable).The expected cost-plus margin method, adjusted market assessment method, or residual method (only if price is highly variable or uncertain) are acceptable.Allocate consideration (and changes) in the transaction price to all performance obligations (based on initial allocation) unless a portion of (or changes in) the transaction price relate entirely to one (or more) obligations and certain criteria are met.
Do not reallocate for changes in standalone selling prices.If certain criteria are met, a discount or variable consideration may be allocated to one or more, but not all, of the performance obligations in a contract.Step 4: Allocating the transaction priceSlide19
Step 5: Recognizing revenueEvaluate if control of a good or service transfers over time, if not then control transfers at a point in time.An entity satisfies a performance obligation over time if… OR OR
Measure progress toward completion using input/output methodsPerformance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the entity has an enforceable right to payment
for performance completed to date.
Performance creates or enhances a customer controlled asset. (e.g., home addition)The customer receives and consumes the benefit as the entity performs. (e.g., cleaning service)ORORSlide20
Step 5: Recognizing revenueFor performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, indicators that control transfers include, but are not limited to, the following:
The entity has a present right to payment.The customer has legal title.
The entity has transferred physical
possession.The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership.The customer has accepted the asset.Slide21

FASB ClarificationsPractical Expedients Upon Transition - Contract Modifications A practical expedient would be added to the standard that permits entities to use hindsight in determining contract modifications for transition purposes (i.e. to determine the transaction
price and allocate the transaction price to all satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations on the basis of historical stand-alone prices) as of the CMAD (see below). A new term, “contract modification adjustment date” (CMAD), would be added to the standard and defined as the beginning of the earliest year presented upon initial adoption of the standard. Sales Taxes Presentation – Gross versus Net
A practical expedient would be added to the standard that permits entities to present sales taxes on a net basis. The expedient’s scope would apply to the same sales taxes as those under existing U.S. GAAP

AND
Collectibility thresholdSlide32
Case facts
Entity A enters into 1000 homogenous contracts with different customers for fixed consideration of $1,000
each.
Before entering into a contract with a customer, Entity A performs procedures designed to determine whether it is probable that the customer will pay the amount owed under the contract (e.g., a credit check) and only enters into the contract if the entity concludes that it is probable that customer will pay.During the previous three years, Entity A has collected 98% of the amounts it has billed to customers.Based on an analysis of industry and historical collection data, Entity A has concluded that the collection rate from the past three years is the probable outcome for future contracts.Entity A intends to enforce its rights to the consideration
to which
it is
entitled
(i.e., it will not offer any concessions to its customers
).
Accordingly, the only variability in the contract is due to customer credit risk.
Case
study: Assessing
collectability
of
contracts
Question
How should Entity A assess identification of contracts for revenue recognition?
View A:
Each of the 1,000 contracts qualify; resulting in $1,000,000 in revenue and $20,000 in bad debt expense upon satisfaction of the performance obligation.
View B:
Only 98% of the portfolio of contracts is probable of collection; thus revenue should be $980,000 when the performance obligation is satisfied.

How should Entity A assess collectability of the contracts? View A: Each of the 1,000 contracts qualify; resulting in $1,000,000 in revenue and $20,000 in bad debt expense upon satisfaction of the performance obligation.At the January 26, 2015 Transition Resource Group (TRG) Meeting, the TRG members generally agreed that when collectability is probable for a portfolio of contracts, the expected amount should be recognized as revenue and the uncollectible amount should be recognized as an impairment loss in accordance with ASC 310.Slide35

Entity T
,
a
TV manufacturer, enters into contract to ship 100 TVs from San Francisco to a customer in London for fixed consideration. The shipment from SF to London, by a 3rd party carrier, will take approximately 3 weeks.Terms are FOB shipping point. Legal title of the TVs transfers to the customer upon delivery to carrier. Entity T arranges shipping and charges customer for shipping.TVs were delivered to carrier 9 days before year end. Payment is due 30 days after receipt of goods.Entity T is not obligated to but has a history of replacing (or crediting customer’s account for) any TVs damaged during shipment. Entity T historically pursue claims against the carrier/insurance provider.Entity T has not elected the (proposed) practical expedient for shipping.

Facts
?Slide39
Case study answer: Synthetic FOB destination
Is shipping a separate performance obligation?View A: Shipping is a separate performance obligationTitle to the TVs transfer to customer at shipping point. Accordingly, shipping the customer’s goods from the port (and potentially providing insurance on such goods) represents a separate performance obligation.View B: There is only one performance obligation, the delivery of undamaged TVs.Slide40
Entity M, a
parts supplier,
enters into contract with
an OEM (i.e., M’s customer) for fixed consideration of $30 million to (1) construct equipment for the customer that M will use to make parts for the customer and (2) supply 30 million parts to the customer.Legal title of the equipment transfers to the customer upon completion of the construction of the equipment (i.e., prior to M beginning production of the parts).M is one of many companies that have the ability to both construct the equipment and subsequently produce the parts.

Case
study:
Identifying performance obligations for a manufacturer Slide42
Case study answer: Identifying performance obligations for a manufacturer
Does the contract have one or more performance obligations?The contract has multiple performance obligations because:The customer is able to benefit from the equipment and the parts on their own.The equipment could be used by Entity M or another manufacturer to produce parts for the customer and the parts are themselves an input in the customer’s production process.Therefore, the equipment and parts are each
capable of being distinct.
The equipment and parts are not being used to produce a combined item that is a distinct good that M has promised The entity’s promise to provide the parts does not significantly affect the customer’s ability to derive benefit from the equipment. Therefore, the equipment and the parts are distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., separately identifiable).Slide43
An entity
enters into monthly contract with its customer to provide a service (e.g., fitness center) and
charges
monthly service fees. It also charges a one-time $50 nonrefundable upfront fee (equal to one-half of one month’s service fee of $100) payable at contract signing.Customers are under no obligation to continue to purchase the monthly service after the first month. And the entity has not committed to any pricing levels for the service in future months.The activity of signing up a customer does not result in a transfer of a good or service to the customer, as such, it does not represent a separate performance obligation. The upfront fee should therefore be deferred and recognized as the future service is provided.Historical data indicates that the average customer life is two years.

Case study answer: Material right (Nonrefundable upfront fees)
Does the renewal option create a material right (gives rise to a performance obligation) for a customer to renew the monthly service?How should the entity account for the upfront fee based on your answer to the first question?Yes, the renewal option creates a material rightWhen comparing the renewal rate ($100) to the amount that a new customer would be required to pay ($150), the upfront fee is material (q
uantitative factor). The entity’s historical renewal
experience suggests that not having to pay the upfront fee is one of the factors customers consider when deciding whether to renew their monthly contract (qualitative factor).As a result, the contract contains two performance obligations (1) one month of service and (2) a material right representing a prepayment for future services by the upfront fee. The upfront fee would be recognized over the service periods during which the customer is expected to benefit from not having to pay an upfront fee upon renewal of service. Determining the expected period of benefit often will require judgment.*This issue was discussed at the October 2014 and January 2015 TRG Meetings. See Deloitte’s October 2014 and January 2015 TRG Snapshot for additional information.Slide46

How much revenue should the entity recognize upon transferring control of the equipment to the customer
? What should Entity P record on 1/2/20X1?
Case facts
On
1/2/20X1
, Entity P, a manufacturer, sells a large piece of equipment to a customer for consideration equal to five percent of the customer’s future net sales for the next five years.
The entity has determined that the transaction meets the criterion in Step 1 to be accounted for as a contract with a customer.
Control of the equipment transfers to the customer on the date of
sale (1/2/20X1).
The consideration is payable after the
customer
issues its audited financial statements for each
year (and after Entity P issues financial statements each year).
Entity P has determined after careful analysis that there is not a significant financing component in the transaction.
Based on the customer’s audited financial statements, the customer’s sales for the last ten years have fluctuated from $1.4 million to $2.2 million with
the probability weighted average amount being
$2.0 million.
Entity
P is highly confident that the customer’s sales will not be less than $
1.6
million in any of the next five years.

Case study answer: Accounting for contingent revenue BTW- How
did Entity P arrive at the conclusion that there is not a significant financing component in the transaction?Entity P considered the guidance in ASC 606-10-32-17(b) which states that a contract with a customer would not have a significant financing component if “a substantial amount of the consideration promised by the customer is variable, and the amount or timing of that consideration varies on the basis of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a future event that is not substantially within the control of the customer or the entity (for example, if the consideration is a sales-based royalty).”Slide54
Should the constraint on variable consideration be applied at the contract level ($10.01 million) or the performance obligation level ($10,000)?
Case facts
An entity enters into a contract with a customer to provide
the customer
with
equipment and a consulting service. The contractual price for the equipment is fixed at $10 million. The contract does not include a fixed price for the consulting service, but if the customer’s manufacturing costs decrease by 5% over a one-year period, the entity will receive $10,000 for the consulting
service. Also
assume the following:
The equipment and the consulting service are separate performance obligations.
The standalone selling prices of the equipment and consulting service are determined to be $10 million and $10,000, respectively.
The entity concludes $10,000 is the consideration amount for the consulting service using the most likely amount method under ASC 606-10-32-8.
The entity allocates the performance-based fee of $10,000 entirely to the consulting service in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-40.

Question
?Slide55
Should the constraint on variable consideration be applied at the contract level ($10.01 million) or the performance obligation level ($10,000)?The constraint on variable consideration should be applied at the contract level because the unit of account for determining the transaction price (Step 3 of the new standard) is the contact, not the performance obligation.
Case study answer: Insignificant variable consideration at contract level Slide56
How should the entity measure the transaction?
Case facts
On September 1, Entity W
enters into a contract with a
Customer C
to provide
the customer with 100 widgets on December 15. In return, Customer C promises to transfer to Entity W, upon inspection and acceptance of the widgets, but no later than December 28, 10 shares of C stock. Customer C is a private company. The transaction occurs as contracted and stock is delivered on December 28. Assume these additional facts:
On September 1 the selling price of a widget is $10. On November 1, Entity W institutes a price increase of $0.55 per widget.
The estimated fair value of a share of Customer C stock, based on limited private transactions, is as follows:
September 1 = $100
November 1 = $95
December 15 = $102
December 28 = $105

Case study answer: Allocating a discount
For Scenario 1, how would the entity allocate the discount in the contract?The entity does NOT have sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the discount in the contract relates to any specific performance obligation (i.e., the evidence does not support that the discount is not just a volume-based discount attributable to a customer buying a bundle of items). Accordingly, the discount of
$15 should be allocated pro-rata to each of the performance obligations based on their individual stand-alone selling prices
. The entity would recognize revenue as follows:When A is transferred, recognize revenue of $27 (30 – 3)When B is transferred, recognize revenue of $63 (70 – 7)When C is transferred, recognize revenue of $45 (50 – 5)

Case study answer: Allocating a discountFor
Scenario 2, how would the entity allocate the discount in the contract?In this scenario, the evidence supports that there is a discount of $15 when the entity sells a bundle of two items that includes A and a discount of $0 for all other bundles that contain products other than A. Accordingly, it is reasonable to conclude that the discount of $15
should be allocated entirely to item A in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-37.
The entity would recognize revenue as follows:When A is transferred, recognize revenue of $15 [$30 (SSP of A) – $15 (full discount)]When B is transferred, recognize revenue of $70When C is transferred, recognize revenue of $50Total revenue recognized on contract = $135Slide66

January
1, 20X1, Entity X
enters
into two
contracts
with
customers that are similar except for termination provisions. Each is for the
sale of 10,000 customized parts at $100 per
part. The
parts have no alternative use to
Entity X (ASC 606-10-25-28).
On March 31, 20X1,
Entity X produced
and
held a total of 4,000
parts
of finished goods
and
an additional
100 parts
in WIP
with
costs-to-date
of $
5,000.
The total cost to produce each part is $90.
Contract
A
Contract A states
that if the contract is terminated, the customer
is
required to pay the full price for all finished
goods on hand. For parts
in
process, the customer is required to pay Entity X
its
cost plus 10%
which
is the expected margin on the finished
goods (and
therefore a reasonable margin
).
As such, if the contract is terminated on March 31, 20X1, Entity X would be entitled to $405,500 ($100 for the 4,000
finished
goods and cost
of $5,000
plus 10% for the 100 parts in
WIP).
Contract

that if the contract is terminated, the customer is required to pay the full price for all finished goods on hand and

of $5,000
for the 100 parts in

-time
) Slide73
Case study answer: Right to payment (Over time vs. point-in-time
) How should Entity X recognize revenue for contract A and B – i.e., over time or at a point-in-time? Entity X needs to assess whether it has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date under the context of ASC 606-10-25-27(c). Contract B only allows entity X to recover its cost (without a margin) on parts in
process upon termination. Therefore, Contract B
would not be considered to have “an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date” at all times during the contractual term. As such, Contract B does not meet the requirement to recognize revenue over time (i.e., recognized at point in time when parts are transferred). Contract A does meet criteria for recognition of revenue over time. As a result, the financial statement impact differs as follows on March 31, 20X1: Contract A

Should ABC Company report as revenue the gross amounts received from Customers for vacation rentals?
Would
net revenue presentation be more appropriate?
What information do you think is relevant / needed for the analysis?
ABC Company (the “Company”) provides a vacation rental program to individuals (“Customers”) seeking to rent vacation homes and utilize the amenities (e.g., golf courses, tennis courts, etc.) through the Company’s club and resort facilities. The Company does not own the properties that it rents but rather enters into agreements with the homeowners that allow the Company to rent their homes as part of a vacation package. Homeowners received a percentage of the net rental income collected by the Company.
The Company does not market or promote a specific house/unit but rather markets/promotes a vacation experience, manages all interactions with Customers and is the only entity with an agreement with Customers. The Company has full discretion in determining the rental fee and is primarily responsible for the entire customer experience (including housekeeping services, concierge services, amenities, etc.). If a Customer is not satisfied with the house/unit, the Company is responsible for finding a suitable replacement.

Case
facts
Entity G, a janitorial services provider, enters into a contract with a customer to provide cleaning services for a two year period.
Upon the initial signing of the contract, Entity G pays a salesperson a $200 commission for obtaining the new customer contract. An additional
commission of $120
is paid each time the customer renews the contract for an additional two years.
The $120 renewal commission is not commensurate with the $200 initial commission (i.e., a portion of the $200 initial commission relates to future anticipated contract renewals)
Based on its historical experience,
98%
of customers renew their contract for at least two more
years or four years total (i.e., the contract renewal represents a specific
anticipated
contract).
The average customer relationship is
four
years.

Costs to obtain a contract Slide86
Question 1: What amount(s) should Entity G capitalize upon initial signing of the contract and upon contract renewal?
Entity G should capitalize the $200 paid for the new customer contract at contract inception as the commission represents an incremental cost of obtaining a contract that would not have been incurred unless the contract was obtained and the obligating event occurred (i.e. the contract was obtained which requires the commission to be paid to the salesperson). The Entity should not recognize any portion of the $120 at contract inception as it does not yet meet the definition of a liability and also does not meet the requirements to be capitalized as an incremental cost of obtaining a contract. Instead, Entity G should capitalize the $120 when the contract is subsequently renewed.

Costs to obtain a contract Slide87
Question 2: What is the amortization period for both the initial commission and the renewal commission?
There are two views that could be acceptable under ASC 340-40. Amortization of Initial Commission:View A – Amortize the initial amount capitalized over the contract period that includes the specific anticipated renewals - that is, over the
four year period. View B –
Bifurcate the initial $200 commission into two components and amortize: (1) $120 over the original contract term (i.e., the amount commensurate with renewal commissions) and (2) $80 over the contract period that includes the specific anticipated renewals.Amortization of Renewal Commission ($120):In either case, the renewal commission is amortized over renewal period ( additional $60 in each years 3 & 4).
