Week Two Exercise Assignment
Revenue and Expenses
Revenue and Expenses. Dave Mo
is began a law practice several years ago, shortly after
graduating from law school. During 19X1, he was approached by Delores Silva, who had recently
suffered a back injury in an automobile accident. Mo
is accepted Silva as a client, and in 19X2
proceeded with a lawsuit against Maddox Motors. The suit alleged that Maddox had knowingly
sold Silva an automobile with defective
akes. Late in 19X2, the courts awarded Silva $240,000
in damages. Mo
is was entitled to 40% of this settlement for his fees. In 19X3, Maddox Motors
paid Silva and Mo
is their respective shares of the judgment. Mo
is incu
ed secretarial and
photocopy charges in 19X2 of $12,000— all related to the Silva case. Of this amount, $8,000 was
paid in 19X2 and the balance was paid in 19X3. Assuming that Mo
is uses the accrual basis of
accounting, in what year(s) should the revenue and expense amounts be recognized? Why?
Since the court has awarded the damages, Mo
is becomes entitled to his 40% shares. He has
already rendered his services, completed the task. Hence the revenue should be recognized in the
year 19X2.
