Sales with Buyback Agreements
When a repurchase agreement exists at a set price
and this price covers all cost of the inventory plus
related holding costs, the inventory and related
liability remain on the sellers books. In other
words, no sale.

Completed Contract Method
Companies recognize revenue and gross profit only at point of
salethat is, when the contract is completed.
Under this method, companies accumulate costs of long-term
contracts in process, but they make no interim charges or
credits to income statement accounts for revenues, costs, or
gross profit.

Acceptability of the Installment-Sales Method
The profession concluded that except in special
circumstances, the installment method of recognizing
revenue is not acceptable.
The rationale: because the installment method does not
recognize any income until cash is collected, it is not in
accordance with the accrual concept.

Cost-Recovery Method
Recognizes no profit until cash payments by the buyer
exceed the cost of the merchandise sold.
A seller is permitted to use the cost-recovery method to
account for sales in which there is no reasonable basis for
estimating collectibility. In addition, use of this method is
required where a high degree of uncertainty exists related
to the collection of receivables.

in 2012. If the cost-recovery method applies to this transaction
and Higley makes payments as scheduled, Fesmire recognizes cash
collections, revenue, cost, and gross profit as follows.

Bargain Purchases
Sometimes the franchise agreement grants the franchisee the
right to make bargain purchases of equipment or supplies after
the franchisee has paid the initial franchise fee.
If the bargain price is lower than the normal selling price of the
same product, or if it does not provide the franchisor a
reasonable profit, then the franchisor should defer a portion of
the initial franchise fee. The franchisor would account for the
deferred portion as an adjustment of the selling price when the
franchisee subsequently purchases the equipment or supplies.
Chapter

Options to Purchase
As a matter of management policy, the franchisor may reserve
the right to purchase a profitable franchise outlet, or to
purchase one that is in financial difficulty.
If it is probable at the time the option is given that the
franchisor will ultimately purchase the outlet, then the
franchisor should

Franchisors Cost
Should ordinarily defer direct costs (usually incremental
costs) relating to specific franchise sales for which revenue
has not yet been recognized.
Should not defer costs without reference to anticipated
revenue and its realizability.
Indirect costs of a regular and recurring nature, such as
selling and administrative expenses that are incurred
irrespective of the level of franchise sales, should be
expensed as incurred.
Chapter
18-70
Disclosure of Franchisors
All significant commitments and obligations resulting

collectibility of franchise fees.
Where possible, revenues and costs related to
franchisor owned outlets should be distinguished
