Question

Write an analysis of the five revenue-recognition steps. 

Apply the five revenue-recognition steps per ASC Topic 606 or FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 to Stella’s sales transaction on the next page.  Before applying each step, describe the requirements of that step, and quote relevant ASC 606 sub-topics using Revenue Recognition-Brief-Roadmap-by-AICPA.pdf.  Provide an explanation/justification for how you apply the requirement by referring to the relevant guideline in the standard. 

 

Tip for Step 2: You will identify the number of performance obligations in the contract and describe what they are along with why they are separate performance obligations. Step 2 is related to Steps 4 & 5.  So make sure that your answers in Steps 4 and 5 are consistent with each other and with the answer in Step 2.

 

Tip for Step 4: Show the computation of the transaction price of each performance obligation.  Be sure to consider the discount.

 

Tip for Step 5: Specify (1) how Stella should recognize revenue for each performance obligation, i.e., at a point in time (when exactly?), or over a time period (which time period?), and (2) how much of revenue should be recognized for each one.
