每天一道題檢驗自己CFA知識掌握情況，不知道你對這道題做對的幾率有多大呢？是100%的知道這道考題所考的知識點還是一知半解呢？
Assume that Implet Tech Co is going to sell their latest smart phone. Information stated that they would delay production line due to several technical issues. Now, for those who already preordered and fully bill-paid customers, they need to wait another 3 months until Implet Tech Co delivers goods to them. Now, which of the following would be most likely considered for company and customers to record in their accounts based on the information given?
A. Accrued expense & Accrued revenue
B. Unearned revenue & Prepaid expenses
C. Accrued revenue & Prepaid expenses
正確答案是什么呢？你做對了嗎？小編告訴你這道題的正確答案Answer: B
為什么呢？給你送上解析就知道了！從Implet Tech Co(賣方)的角度來分析，公司選擇的是預(yù)收賬款(Unearned revenue)。因為作為全款預(yù)定 現(xiàn)金已經(jīng)收到，之后生產(chǎn)線完工后再發(fā)貨。而3個月后發(fā)貨的那天，再記錄收入增加，負(fù)債降低這么一筆賬。因為這時候已經(jīng)把貨物遞交到買方手中，負(fù)債就結(jié)清了。
從客戶(Customer)的角度，作為買方選擇的是預(yù)付賬款(Prepaid expenses)。因為你先付了錢，但你之后才會收到貨物。等到3個月后真實收到貨物那一時刻，才會再記錄一筆賬，預(yù)付賬款減少，費用增加?？赡艽蠹覍︻A(yù)收賬款和預(yù)付賬款有些不了解，那簡單的給大家普及一下！

預(yù)收賬款(Unearned revenue)：就是今天你先收到錢，之后你再發(fā)貨。如果從公司的角度出發(fā)，以今天為始點，現(xiàn)金增加，而預(yù)收賬款(負(fù)債:liability)增加。到結(jié)點的時候，也就是派發(fā)貨物/提供服務(wù)的那一時點，收入增加，而同時負(fù)債減少。
預(yù)付賬款(Prepaid expenses)：則是反其道而行之，你今天先付錢，之后你再收貨。和預(yù)收賬款作比較，同樣以今天為始點，現(xiàn)金減少，而預(yù)付賬款(資產(chǎn)：asset)增加。到結(jié)點的時候，也就是費用真實發(fā)生的那一時點，預(yù)付賬款減少，而同時費用增加。
