A) 605-15-25-1
25-1 If an entity sells its product but gives the buyer the right to return the product, revenue from the sales transaction shall be recognized at time of sale only if all of the following conditions are met:
a. The seller's price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale.
b. The buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product. If the buyer does not pay at time of sale and the buyer's obligation to pay is contractually or implicitly excused until the buyer resells the product, then this condition is not met.
c. The buyer's obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product.
d. The buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller. This condition relates primarily to buyers that exist on paper, that is, buyers that have little or no physical facilities or employees. It prevents entities from recognizing sales revenue on transactions with parties that the sellers have established primarily for the purpose of recognizing such sales revenue.
e. The seller does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer.
f. The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated (see paragraphs 605-15-25-3 through 25-4). Because detailed record keeping for returns for each product line might be costly in some cases, this Subtopic permits reasonable aggregations and approximations of product returns. As explained in paragraph 605-15-15-2, exchanges by ultimate customers of one item for another of the same kind, quality, and price (for example, one color or size for another) are not considered returns for purposes of this Subtopic.

    Revenue is the electricity that drives business. Revenue has been the starting point on every income statement generated, every sales meeting conducted, and is on every entrepreneur’s wish list. The basic concept for revenue recognition is that revenue should not be recognized until it is realized or realizable and earned. There are also four criteria must be met in order to recognize revenue: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists: Consider the substance of the transaction and not merely its form. Because the SEC believes that a sale has not taken place if a "sale" is only intended for demonstration purposes, or if the seller is obligated to repurchase the product at specific prices, or if the buyer can return the goods and the buyer has no specific payment obligation; 2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered: Ownership and risk must have been transferred to the buyer. The SEC does not consider delivery to have occurred unless the product has been delivered to either the customer or another site specified by the customer. This also means that the goods have been accepted by the customer; 3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable: This occurs when the customer does not have the unilateral right to terminate or cancel the contract and receive a cash refund. If you cannot reliably estimate the amount of any future cash refunds, then you must defer revenue recognition. If a price is conditional on a future event, then it is not fixed or determinable, so revenue recognition cannot occur; 4) collectability is reasonably assured: If you cannot reasonably estimate an allowance for doubtful account, then you cannot recognize revenue until you can make such an estimation.…
