choas69 in the LOS it stated to recognize revenue;

Daood12 What i think is , option C is incorrect because , revenue is recognized when Seller bears no risks and rewards of ownership, and this not necessarily means the goods are transferred , they can destroy as well.

Option B is incorrect because , revenue is recognized when economic benefits associated with transaction become probable to flow to the seller , without considering partial, full or any payment at all.

Option A is correct because , revenue is recognized when costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of transaction can be measured reliably.
