CCC received a $375,000 fee for a 15-month service contract on 375 copiers sold by CCC in Oct of 2017. Under the terms of the contract, CCC will provide all routine maintenance and service work on the copiers sold to the national law firm from Nov 1, 2017 through Jan 31, 2019.

As the service fees if for the services performed from Nov 2017 through Jan 2019, it is to be recognized proportionately in that period.

Service income should CCC report in 2017 financial income statements would be proportionate service fees for Nov and Dec 2017 (2 months) = ($375,000 / 15) * 2 = $50,000

Service income should CCC report in 2018 financial income statements would be proportonate service fees for the period from Jan 2018 to Dec 2018 (12 months) = ($375,000 / 15) * 12 = $300,000

Answer 2:

For Federal tax purposes the advance service fee received is taxable in the period received.

As such,

Service income CCC should report in 2017 tax return = $375,000

Service income CCC should report in 2018 tax return = $0

Service income CCC should report in 2019 tax return = $0

The advance rent payment is for the first quarter of 2018. Under the terms of the contract, CCC requires the national accounting firm to prepay one quarter (3 months) of rent.

As the advance rental receipt of $150,000 in 2017 is towards rental for first quarter of 2018, the revenue need to be recognised in first quarter of 2018.

Hence,

Rental income to be recognized in CCC report in 2017 financial income statements = $0

(The advance rental received, is to be accounted for as unearned revenue in 2017)

Rental income to be recognized in CCC report in 2018 financial income statements = $150,000
