标题[问题] 资本化(Capitalization)的问题 (哈佛个案)
时间Sun Jan 3 22:19:19 2010
目前上课讨论到一个个案 是 InvesTool公司 的revenue recognition问题
个案内提及该投资管理程式公司主要业务项目是
1. Live Workshop
2. Home-study DVD version of Workshop
3. Subscriptions for website access
4. Personal coaching services
所以基本上是个资讯、顾问服务性质的公司
目前营运问题在於公司业务人员的佣金在收费时马上列expense
但revenue需等到service提供时才认列 (为deferred revenue)
因此大量的佣金外加延至次年度才认列的deferred revenue
导致公司营收逐渐成长但是每年都是出现Net Loss的情形
注:Case 内完全没有提到公司的固定资产等的部份
有问题的题目如下:
2.InvestTools’ pre-tax operation losses prior to the statement were -8.2
million, -.05 million, and -1.6 million for 2004, 2003, and 2002,
respectively. Assume that total costs associated with a typical deferred
revenue contract are 40% of the total sale amount and that 85% of these costs
are eligible for
capitalization under SAB 104. Without regard to the
restatement, what would reported pre-tax operating earnings for InvestTools
have been in 2002, 2003, and 2004 if it had adopted a policy of capitalizing
these costs?
想请问这边的Capitalization是指什麽??? 因为我所认知的设备资本化及利息资本化
皆无法套用至这边的案例~ 因为案例完全没有提及公司资产,借贷利息等等
感谢大家的帮忙~
