Revenue Recognition
On 15 January 2022, Alice Sharpe signed a contract with Custom Audio Ltd for a total sound renovation at her home. The price for the contract is $25,300 (including GST). In exchange, Custom Audio Ltd will:
Deliver and setup sound systems in the lounge and games room, normally valued at $16,000 (excluding GST). This is scheduled for 20 January 2022.
Install high-quality audio wiring, additional speakers and touchpads throughout the home, normally valued at $6,000 (excluding GST). This is scheduled for 5 February 2022.
Deliver and install an outdoor audio system for Alice’s spa pool area, normally valued at $3,000 (excluding GST). This is scheduled for 11 February 2022.
Custom Audio Ltd prides itself on punctuality and meets its performance obligations on the scheduled dates. An invoice for the full amount of the contract is given to Alice on the day that the sound systems are setup. It is due within 10 business days. However, Alice is late to pay the invoice, attracting a 2% penalty on the amount owed; she pays the full amount and penalty on 2 February 2022.
