Revenue recognized point of long term contract
A long-term contract qualifies for revenue recognition over time. The seller can recognize the revenue as per percentage of the completion of the project, which is recognized as revenue minus cost of completion until date.
If a contract does not meet the performance obligation norm, then the seller cannot recognize the revenue till the project is complete.

The revenue recognition principle refers to the revenue that should be recognized in the time period, when the performance obligation (sales or services) of the company is completed.

- Process activity analysis for a service company Statewide Insurance- Company has a process for making payments on insurance claims as follows: An activity analysts revealed that the cost of these activities was as follows: Receiving claim 120,000 Adjusting claim 260,000 Paying claim 120,000 Total 500,000 This process includes only the cost of processing the claim payments, not the actual amount of the claim payments. The adjusting activity involves verifying and estimating the amount of the claim and is variable to the number of claims adjusted. The process received, adjusted, and paid 2,000 claims during the period. All claims were treated identically in this process. To improve the cost of this process, management has determined that claims should be segregated into two categories. Claims under 1,000 and claims greater than 1,000: claims under 1,000 would not be adjusted but would be- accepted upon the insured's evidence of claim. Claims above 1,000 would the adjusted. It is estimated that 80% of the claims are under 1,000 and would thus be paid without adjustment. It is also estimated that the additional effort to segregate claims would add 10% to the "receiving claim" activity cost. A. Develop a table showing the percent of individual activity cost to the total process cost. B. Determine the average total process cost per claim payment, assuming 2,000 total claims. C. Prepare a table showing the changes in the activity costs as a result of the changes proposed by management. Show columns of activity cost prior to improvement, after improvement, and savings. D. Estimate the average cost per claim payment, assuming that the changes proposed by management are enacted for 2,000 total claims.arrow_forwardHaresharrow_forwardDineshbhaiarrow_forward

However, it has adopted the following policies, which are applied unless there are significant qualitative considerations that justify an exception for a particular project. Investments are not accepted unless they can earn at least 11.1 percent after taxes on a discounted cash flow (DCF) basis, even if excess funds are available. Investments are not rejected if they will earn 25 percent or more after taxes on a discounted cash flow (DCF) basis, even if internally generated funds are not available. The following table shows the cash flows for a series of independent investments. Use the DEF Company’s criteria to classify each investment as: A = must accept; R = must reject; or U = uncertain.arrow_forward
