Chapter 17, Problem 2E
Consider each of the following scenarios:
- a. A seller orally agrees with one of its best customers to deliver goods in exchange for $10,000. While the seller’s practice is to obtain a written sales agreement, the seller delivered these goods to the customer without a written agreement due to the customer’s urgent need.
- b. A seller agrees to provide accounting services to a customer for the next year in exchange for $40,000. While the two parties are negotiating the terms of the agreement and the specific services to be performed, the seller begins to perform some services as a gesture of good faith.
- c. A seller has a written agreement to deliver goods to a customer for $50 per unit. The price will drop to $45 per unit if the customer purchases more than 2,000 units per month.
- d. A seller had a written agreement and provided custodial services to a customer for $2,000 per month in a previous year. The contract expired on December 31, 2019. During negotiations for a new contract in January 2020, custodial services were provided at the previous monthly rate and paid for by the buyer. The seller and the customer agree to a new contract on February 1, 2020. The seller is concerned whether a contract existed in January 2020 and whether revenue can be recognized.
Required:
- 1. Determine if a contract exists for each of the scenarios.
- 2. If it is determined that a contract exists but the seller believes it is probable that it will not collect the expected consideration, how does this affect the seller’s ability to recognize revenue?

According to the ideas behind the revenue recognition standard of the FASB, when a
seller enters into a contract with a buyer, the seller accepts certain performance
obligations in exchange for the promise of receiving assets from the buyer. Under this
standard, when does the seller RECOGNIZE REVENUE? When the seller enters into a
contract with the buyer When the seller satisfies a performance obligation to the buyer
When the seller spends 50 percent or more of the cash needed to serve the buyer
When the seller collects cash from the buyer
Firms usually offer their customers some form of trade credit. This allowance comes with certain terms of credit. These terms will affect the cost of the asset for both the buyer and the seller.
Consider the following case:
Tasty Tuna Corporation buys on terms of 3/15, net 45 from its principal supplier. If Tasty Tuna receives an invoice for $856.75, then the true price of this invoice is .
The supplier is willing to extend credit that exhibits a nominal annual cost of .
Suppose Tasty Tuna doesn’t take the discount and instead chooses to pay its supplier five days' late—so that on average, Tasty Tuna will pay its supplier on the 50th day after the date of sale. As a result, Tasty Tuna can decrease its actual nominal cost of trade credit by by paying late.
