Case Assignment for Revenue Recognition:
- Entity T, a TV manufacturer, enters into contract to ship 100 TVs from San Francisco to a customer in London for fixed consideration. The shipment from SF to London, by a 3rd party carrier, will take approximately 3 weeks.
- Terms are FOB shipping point. Legal title of the TVs transfers to the customer upon delivery to carrier. Entity T arranges shipping and charges customer for shipping.
- TVs were delivered to carrier 9 days before year end. Payment is due 30 days after receipt of goods.
- Entity T is not obligated to but has a history of replacing (or crediting customer's account for) any TVs damaged during shipment. Entity T historically pursue claims against the carrier/insurance provider.
- Entity T has not elected the (proposed) practical expedient for shipping.
Is shipping a separate performance obligation?
When does control of TVs transfer?
