tchock, i am pleased with your straight responses. I do concur with your answers. the first ? regarding partial shippment w/deposit is a good one. Depending on the terms of the purchase order (assume it is ship when ready in any lot amount).

The deposit would be recorded as a liability until first 300 is shipped, then transfered to revenues based on an amount equal to the appropriate revenue on 300 units sold with the remainder staying as a liability until more units were shipped. assuming the remaing 700 units were shipped in 2001 the balance of the entire purchase order would then be recognized as revenue.

JMHO

I am not giving advice, just stating my opinion. If this were a factual situation (not hypothetical) you should consult your own compensated accounting advisor.




I'm getting thirsty dammit!

Oh yea, everthing is my opinion only. Please make your own decisions and consult your own financial advisors for both investment and income tax issues.
