An enterprise sells inventory for 80,000 that had an inventory cost of 40,000. The terms of the sale involve payments receivable of 10,000 in the first year, 45,000 in the second year, and 25,000 in the third year. The buyer of the inventory is a new firm with no credit history.
14. If the cost-recovery method of revenue recognition is used, the amount of gross profit to be recognized in the second year is?
Gross profit to be recognized in the second year is 15000.
Explanation :
As per cost recovery method, gross profit will be recognized in that year when payment receivable will exceed total inventory cost.
Sale price of inventory = 80000
Inventory cost = 40000
Payment receivable in the first year = 10000
Inventory Cost to be recovered in the following year =
Total Inventory cost - Payment receivable in the first year
= 40000 - 10000 = 30000
Payment receivable in the second year = 45000
Gross profit to be recognized in the second year =
Payment receivable in the second year - Inventory Cost to be recovered in the following year
= 45000 - 30000 = 15000
