Skysong IT Consulting changed from the recognition overtime (percentage-of-completion) to the completed-contract method for financial reporting purposes. The company will continue to use the completed-contract method for tax purposes. For years prior to 2017, pretax income under the two methods was as follows: percentage-of-completion $214,000, and completed-contract $156,000. The tax rate is 30%. Prepare Skysong IT’s 2017 journal entry to record the change in accounting principle.
If at the end of the second year of a 4-year contract, a company determines total estimated costs are going to exceed the contract price,
it immediately recognizes the total estimated loss.
it recognizes the total estimated loss in the year of completion if it is using the point-in-time method.
it spreads the estimated loss over the remaining two years if it is using the recognizing-revenue-over-time method.
it treats the estimated loss as a change in accounting estimate.
