In which month should Printing Pros recognize revenue for a job completed on August 10?

Revenue recognition is guided by the principle that revenue should be recognized when it is earned and realizable. In the case of Printing Pros, the job was completed on August 10. This completion signifies that the company has fulfilled its obligations regarding that job, and thus, it has earned the revenue associated with it.

According to accounting principles, revenue is typically recorded in the accounting period in which the service has been delivered or the product has been provided. Since the service was completed in August, the appropriate time to recognize the revenue would indeed be in the same month, August, when the work was accomplished.

Recognizing the revenue in September or October would be incorrect, as the job had already been completed, and delaying the recognition would not accurately reflect the company's financial performance for August. Similarly, recognizing it in July fails to align with the timing of the job completion. Therefore, the month that properly aligns with when the service was completed and when the revenue should be recognized is August.
