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.

- 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_forwardQuestion 13arrow_forward4G 46 14:37 O ® b A , .60 , 5 01:25:12 Remaining Multiple Choice Statement 1: An impairment loss that relates to an asset that has been revalued upwards should be recognized in revaluation surplus that relates to the revalued asset.

- Q33arrow_forwardProblem 13-5 (Algo) Bonus compensation; algebra [LO13-3] Sometimes compensation packages include bonuses designed to provide performance incentives to employees. The difficulty a bonus can cause accountants is not an accounting problem, but a math problem. The complication is that the bonus formula sometimes specifies that the calculation of the bonus is based in part on the bonus itself. This occurs anytime the bonus is a percentage of income because expenses are components of income, and the bonus is an expense. Regalia Fashions has an incentive compensation plan through which a division manager receives a bonus equal to 15% of the division's net income. Division income in 2024 before the bonus and income tax was $125,000. The tax rate is 30%. Required: 2. Calculate the amount of the bonus. 3. Prepare the adjusting entry to record the bonus compensation. 4. Bonus arrangements take many forms.
