Required:
a. Why is the point of the sale generally used as
the basis for the timing of revenue recognition?
Because the point of sale is usually the most common case when the
revenue has been earned and realized. For the revenue to be recognized the
two requirements has to be met. Earned means that the seller finished their
duty (delivering goods or performing services). And, realized means that the
goods or services are exchanged with cash. Based on the two requirements,
the point of sale is viewed as a reliable timing in the business course of
action.
