- 1. The Realization principle or Point of delivery method
- 2. The Installment sales method
- 3. The cost recovery method

Under the installment sales, the revenue and costs are recognized only when the payment of cash is received from customer. Two composed components are involved in the each payment of cash, and components of sales are as follows:
- Partial recovery of the cost from sales
