Surfing the Standards Case 3: Time Shares
Treasure Island Corporation (TIC) sells time shares in luxury oceanfront cottages. During the year ended December 31, 2017, TIC completed a project consisting of 100 cottages in a particularly scenic portion of Hawaii. The project cost TIC $110 24 million. During the current year, TIC sold 1,924 weekly time shares in the cottages for $40,000 each.
TIC’s sales policy requires a 20% down payment, so TIC received $8,000 for each time share this year. Because TIC’s customers consist of only the most wealthy individuals, TIC does not anticipate any uncollectible accounts. Customers that purchased time shares will not make any more payments this year. TIC uses the full accrual method for revenue recognition purposes.

- Provide answer general accountingarrow_forwardIf an oil rig was built in the sea, the cost to be capitalised is likely to include the cost of constructing the asset and the present value of the cost of dismantling it. If the asset cost $10 million to construct, and would cost $4 million to remove in 20 years, then the present value of this dismantling cost must be calculated. If interest rates were 5%, the present value of the dismantling costs are calculated as follows: $4 million x 1/1.0520 = $1,507,558 The total to be capitalised would be $10 million + $1,507,558 = $11,507,558. This would be depreciated over 20 years, so 11,507,558 x 1/20 = $575,378 per year. Each year, the liability would be increased by the interest rate of 5%. In year 1 this would mean the liability increases by $75,378 (making the year end liability $1,582,936). This increase is taken to the finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.arrow_forwardGeneral Accounting Question please answerarrow_forward
