Module 2 Assignment: Revenue and Expense Recognition

For this assignment, you will build on the work done in Module 1 to recognize revenue and expenses accurately. You will use the consolidated financial statements prepared in the previous module and apply the principles of revenue and expense recognition to ensure proper accounting treatment. You can continue using the accounting simulator from our website, MS Excel, or an inexpensive accounting software if you have access to it.

Assignment Tasks

     • Deferred Revenue: $12,000 for a one-year service contract received on January 1.
     • Service Revenue Recognition: Recognize the service revenue evenly over the 12-month period.
   • Update your income statement to reflect the recognized revenue for the current period.
   • Provide a brief explanation of the revenue recognition process and any adjustments made.
2. Expense Recognition:

   • Apply the criteria for recognizing expenses and the matching principle to allocate expenses appropriately. Use the following hypothetical data:
     • Prepaid Insurance: $6,000 for a one-year insurance policy paid on January 1.
     • Insurance Expense Recognition: Recognize the insurance expense evenly over the 12-month period.
