Answer #1

The General rule for recognition of revenue is fulfilled on the delivery of the goods. But the transaction where there is a lag between delivery and contract date, the recognition of revenue becomes complex.

SEC has specified 7 criteria, Fulfillment of which is necessary in order to recognize revenue when delivery is still pending.

1. The risk of Ownership must have passed to the buyer.

2. Customer must have made a fixed commitment to purchase the goods

3. The buyer must request the transaction to be on the bill and hold basis.

4. There must be a fixed schedule for the delivery of the goods

5. The seller must have not retained any specific performance obligations such that the earnings process is not complete.

6. The ordered goods must have been segregated from the seller's inventory and not be subject to being used to fill other orders.

7. The equipment or product must be complete and ready for use.

Since both the contracts are made in December 2020 and the deliveries are scheduled which along with other conditions fulfill the revenue recognition criteria.

So, The entire revenue should be booked in December 2020.

= 1100*15 + 400*13
