Requirement 3 Allied Auto Parts Inc. might choose to recognize revenue only after the warranty period has expired if they are not able to make a good estimate, at the time of sale, of the amount of warranty work that will be required under the terms of the one-year warranty. If Allied is not able, at the time of sale, to make a good estimate of the warranty work that will be required, then the measurability criterion of revenue recognition is not met at the time of sale. The measurability criterion means that the amount of revenue can be reliably
measured. If the seller is not able to estimate the amount of work that will have to be done under the warranty agreement, then it is not able to reasonably measure the profit that it will eventually earn on the sales. The performance criteria might also be invoked here. The performance criterion means that the seller has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. As long as there is warranty work to be performed after the sale that is the responsibility of the seller, you might argue that performance is not substantially complete. However, if the seller was able to reliably estimate the amount of warranty work, then performance would be satisfied on the assumption that we could measure the risk that remains with the seller, and make a provision for it.

Percentage-of-completion method:
The first step in applying revenue recognition using the percentage-of-completion method (using costs incurred to date compared to estimated total costs to determine the
percentage of completion) is to estimate the percentage of completion of the project at the end of each year. This is done in the following table (in $000s):
End of 2005 End of 2006 End of 2007
Total costs incurred $ 5,400 $ 12,950 $ 18,800 Total estimated costs 18,000 18,500 18,800 % completed 30% 70% 100%
Once the percentage of completion at the end of each year has been calculated as above, the next step is to allocate the appropriate amount of revenue to each year, based on the percentage completed to date, less what has previously been recorded in revenue. This is done in the following table (in $000s):
2005
2006
2007
2005 $20,000 × 30% $ 6,000 2006 $20,000 × 70% $ 14,000 2007 $20,000 × 100% $ 20,000 Less: Revenue recognized in prior years (0) (6,000) (14,000) Revenue for year $ 6,000 $ 8,000 $ 6,000
Therefore, the profit to be recognized each year on the construction project would be:
2005
2006
2007
Total $ 20,000 (18,800) $ 1,200 Revenue recognized $ 6,000 $ 8,000 $ 6,000 Construction costs incurred (expenses) (5,400) (7,550) (5,850) Gross profit for the year $ 600 $ 450 $ 150
The following journal entries are used to record the transactions under the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition:
2005
2006
2007
1. Costs of construction: Construction in progress .................. 5,400 Cash, payables, etc. ..... 2. Progress billings: Accounts receivable ............ 3,100 Progress billings ............ 3. Collections on billings: Cash .................................... 2,400 Accounts receivable ...... 4. Recognition of profit: Construction in progress ..... 600 Construction expense.......... 5,400 Revenue from long-term contract ...................... 5.
