On april 1 of year 0 stephanie received a $9,000 payment for full payment on a three-year service contract (under the contract stephanie is obligated to provide advisory services for the next three years). what amount of income should stephanie recognize in year 0 if she uses the accrual method of accounting? (she recognized $2,250 for financial accounting purposes.)

$2,250

Explanation:

As for the provided information:

The amount received for total service for 3 years = $9,000

Date on which amount is received = 1 April

Therefore, in current year she would have served the service from April to December, that means for a period of 9 months

The revenue recognition based on accrual principal shall be,

Revenue for each month = $9,000/36 months = $250 per month

Therefore revenue for 9 month up to the end of current year 0 = $250 9 months = $2,250

Since Stephanie has recognized the same amount of revenue, she is correct in recording as per accrual system.

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
