Revenue recognition · 2,680 characters as filed
NOTE 3: REVENUE RECOGNITION The Companys sales revenue is derived primarily from short term contracts with customers, which are generally in effect for less than twelve months. Sales revenue from manufactured equipment transferred at a single point in time accounts for a majority of the Companys revenue. Sales revenue is recognized when control of the Companys manufactured equipment is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive based upon the agreed transaction price. The Companys performance obligations are satisfied when its customers take control of the purchased equipment, which is based on the contract terms. Based on prior experience, the Company reasonably estimates its sales returns and warranty reserves. Sales are presented net of discounts and allowances. Discounts and allowances are determined when a sale is negotiated. The Company does not grant its customers or independent representatives, the ability to return equipment nor does it grant price adjustments after a sale is complete. The Company does not capitalize any sales commission costs related to the acquisition of a contract. All commissions related to a performance obligation that are satisfied at a point in time are expensed when the customer takes control of the purchased equipment. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have origi …
