Companies in the U.S. car rental market vary greatly in terms of the size of the fleet, the number of locations, and annual revenue. In 2011, Hertz had 320,000 cars in service and annual revenue of approximately $4.2 billion. The following data show the number of cars in service (1000s) and the annual revenue ($millions) for six smaller car rental companies (Auto Rental News website, August 7, 2012).

Curtiss Construction Company, Inc., entered into a fixed-price contract with Axelrod Associates on July 1, 2018, to construct a four-story office building. At that time, Curtiss estimated that it would take between two and three years to complete the project. The total contract price for construction of the building is $4,540,000. Curtiss concludes that the contract does not qualify for revenue recognition over time. The building was completed on December 31, 2020. Estimated percentage of completion, accumulated contract costs incurred, estimated costs to complete the contract, and accumulated billings to Axelrod under the contract were as follows:

308 Chapter 11 CASE STUDYCase stUDYCollege and professional sports are economy boosters for their host cities. The stream of revenue to the local economy generated by excited fans comes from the sale of tickets, hotel room rentals, car rentals, restaurant meals served, gasoline sales, park-ing fees, and vendor sales. The sales become even greater when a team is winning.Cities such as Lincoln, Nebraska; Columbus, Ohio; Tallahassee, Florida; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana count on the revenue generated by sell-out crowds during the college football season. Stadiums that hold from 82,000 to 102,000 fans provide an eco-nomic windfall for the college com-munities where they are located.Some fans of professional sports teams, such as the Chicago Cubs and Green Bay Packers, are loyal no mat-ter how well their team is performing. These faithful fans provide a steady flow of revenue to the sports program and surrounding communities.College World Series Wars?Cities that host major sporting events understand the financial benefits. Omaha, Nebraska, appreciates the millions of dollars poured into the city during the annual College World Series. Zesto’s, a popular fast-food restaurant, has truckloads of food rolling in each day to meet the demands of customers from all over the United States.The event has been voted the Best Annual Local Event and ranks as the third-most important state tourist attraction, according to a survey conducted by Omaha Magazine. The revenue from this two-week event has attracted the attention of other cities, such as Oklahoma City, that would like the opportunity to host the event in the future. Economic experts estimate that the College World Series generates more than $40 million for the Omaha economy. It is no wonder that other cities would like to host thisevent.Omaha tore down Rosenblatt Stadium, the former home of the College World Series, to build the new $131-million TD Ameritrade Park Omaha that has 24,505 seats. Omaha must continue to demonstrate top-notch hospitality so that the College World Series event planners continue to choose Omaha as its host city.Think Critically

1. Why is it important for Omaha to continue hosting the College World Series? Consider both financial and nonfinancial benefits.

2. What are some of the greatest sources of revenue for cities that are home to popular college and professional sports teams?

3. How can hosting a major event like the College World Series help a city develop a national image? Explain your answer.

4. List ten good food items for ven-dors to sell at the College World Series

Identifying a Contract

Consider each of the following scenarios:

a. A seller orally agrees with one of its best customers to deliver goods in exchange for $10,000. While the seller's practice is to obtain a written sales agreement, the seller delivered these goods to the customer without a written agreement due to the customer's urgent need.
b. A seller agrees to provide accounting services to a customer for the next year in exchange for $40,000. While the two parties are negotiating the terms of the agreement and the specific services to be performed, the seller begins to perform some services as a gesture of good faith.
c. A seller has a written agreement to deliver goods to a customer for $50 per unit. The price will drop to $45 per unit if the customer purchases more than 2,000 units per month.
d. A seller had a written agreement and provided custodial services to a customer for $2,000 per month in a previous year. The contract expired on December 31, 2016. During negotiations for a new contract in January 2017, custodial services were provided at the previous monthly rate and paid for by the buyer. The seller and the customer agree to a new contract on February 1, 2017. The seller is concerned whether a contract existed in January 2017 and whether revenue can be recognized.

Required:

1. Determine if a contract exists for each of the scenarios.

a. , a contract . An oral contract represent an enforceable contract the contract is approved by both parties, each party's rights can be identified, the payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it's probable that the company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled. All of these conditions appear to be in this scenario.
b. , a contract . A company able to identify each party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred. Because these rights have established and be identified, a company assess when control has been transferred and, therefore, revenue be recognized.
c. , this represent a contract. The payment terms to be fixed but can vary due to sales incentives such as rebates.
d. , a contract exist in January 2017. While this requires judgment, the fact that the seller performed services and the customer paid for these services implies that enforceable rights and obligations existed in January 2017. , revenue be recognized even though final contract negotiations were not complete.

2. If it is determined that a contract exists but the seller believes it is probable that it will not collect the expected consideration, how does this affect the seller's ability to recognize revenue?

If it is probable that the seller will not collect the expected consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has promised to transfer to the customer, any amounts that the seller does not expect to collect will the transaction price. This adjusted transaction price will be the starting point to apply the remaining steps of the revenue recognition model.
