QuestionA company sells a non-refundable, two-year service contract for €420. Based on historical patterns, the company expects to incur 25% of service costs in the first year of the contract and the remainder in the second year. The amount of revenue the company recognizes in the first year is closest to:选项:
A.€ 105.00
B.€ 420.00
C.€ 210.00
解释:
Solution
A is correct. Service revenues are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the service contract. Historical patterns provide evidence that 25% of the services performed under the contract are incurred during the contract’s first year. As such, only 25% of the contract revenue would be recognized in the first year:
B is incorrect. This calculation incorrectly implies that all of the services provided under the warranty have been rendered by the end of the first year.
C is incorrect. This calculation incorrectly implies that half of the services provided under the warranty have been rendered by the end of the first year. In fact, historical experience indicates that only 25% of the services provided will have been rendered by the end of that year.
这道题25%service costs怎么理解?我理解成了公司提供服务的成本第一年是420*25%,为什么不能两年的服务五五开,每年是210?错在哪里呢
