Timing of revenue: Specific Issues

• Noncash consideration• Rights of return and other customer options• Supplier repurchase options• Warranties• Principal versus agent (gross versus net)• Licensing intellectual property• Breakage• Nonrefundable upfront fees• Consignment and bill-and-hold arrangements

ASC 606 also provides specific guidance on various other transaction types, including:

Timing of revenue: Disclosures

• Customer contracts, such as the remaining performance obligations (backlog)

• Key judgments made• Contract costs recognized as assets• The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the

benefits• The customer controls the asset as it is created or enhanced• The asset has no alternative use, and the supplier is entitled to

payment for performance-to-date and expects to fulfill the contract

ASC 606 will require considerably more disclosure about revenue, including information regarding:

Timing of revenue: Multiple-element arrangements

• The customer benefits from the item on its own or along with other readily available resources

• The supplier does not provide a significant service of integrating the various performance obligations

A customer contract may cover a bundle of goods or services. ASC 606 requires performance obligations to be accounted for separately if distinct. For example:

If performance obligations are distinct, the contract price is allocated between them based on the estimated standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

Timing of revenue: Transition and effective dateThe ASC 606 is effective for public entities in annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2016, including interim periods therein, and for private entities in annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2017.

Earlier application is prohibited for public entities. Private entities may adopt the guidance early in years beginning after Dec. 15, 2016.
