Truth be told I understood about 10% of the ASC606, the small part that is related to our company's Revenue Recognition model of "completed contract". After taking all of Lynn Fountain's 8 ASC606 courses I would say my understanding has morphed to a 70+% of ASC606 understanding. A GREAT RESULT. There was some redundancy and that redundancy help to drive my understanding of certain concepts. Well done Lynn. Thanks for a great series of courses (8) for ASC606.

The case scenarios courses are imperative to putting your learning to the test. The examples in this course help to clarify what you do and do not understand. At this stage I'm feeling much more confident in my understanding of the 5 steps and a general knowledge of each step.

Some of the concepts discussed in this course - allocation of discounts and variable consideration, lend themselves to better absorption in a traditional class sitting; having said that, the instructor has done the best job she can to explain the nuances.

Overall good course. Some of the material was redundant and overlapped with multiple other courses. However, it is a good high-level summary of Revenue Recognition, more appropriate for beginners.

Hi professor, for exercise 2 (On Jan 1, entity enters a contract to provide monthly computer support for 3 yrs. to a customer - price $400K.), since we've performed $240k of support as of Dec 31 Yr2, and we did receive $200k, why would we recognize $0 instead of $80k of revenue, the portion that wouldn't affect by the client's cash flow issue??
I need to review this one further but wanted to give an initial reply. The question somehow hit my spam so I am just now seeing it.
I will review and verify but to my recollection, in this circumstance if we have concerns with collectibility of the contract amount, the standard says you should record amounts received as a liability until the collection issue is resolved.
I will look at this tonight further. Thanks fir the question
I looked at this further. You have to consider the assumptions in the next slide. Remember, you have to consider whether the discount is implicit and whether there is a potential there could be a significant reversal of revenue. Since the customer is now having financial problems, this becomes a consideration. If you follow through to the third slide it explains that you have to consider the implicit discount so the price is actually 90% of $400K = $360k. We indicated the vendor does not have to reverse revenue already recognized not once they know the company is having financially issues the component of significant reversal comes in. That slide describes what you do in each year. You might re-listen and let me know if this makes sense. It all has to do with the assumptions
On your slide 37, I felt the correct answer is B not C. It is because a customer buys additional five “different” machines (i.e. adding distinct goods) and the contract price increased by amount doesn’t reflect stand alone selling prices of additional goods due to a deep discount. So, it should terminate the original contract and create a new one, right? Thank you!
Yes you are correct. The answer is B. There is a typo. The following slide correctly indicates the answer
