Extended Warranty Revenue Isn't Yours Yet: Why ASC 606 Says You Can't Book It at the Point of Sale

ASC 606 treats a separately priced extended warranty as a distinct performance obligation, so a $150 three-year service contract is booked as unearned revenue and recognized at $4.17 per month over 36 months — not as sale revenue on day one. This guide explains the assurance-type vs. service-type distinction, the three standalone-selling-price allocation methods for bundled pricing, and the journal entries small retailers need.

How a sightseeing helicopter operator's books differ from other small businesses — Part 91.147 vs. Part 135 certificates drive $5–25M liability premiums, helicopters depreciate over 5 years under MACRS only if business use stays above 50%, weather cancellations complicate ASC 606 deferred revenue, and NYC's December 2029 Stage 3 noise ban turns non-compliant airframes into an asset-impairment problem today.

New Jersey Legalizes Human Composting: Bookkeeping for a Natural Organic Reduction Facility

New Jersey's natural organic reduction law takes effect July 1, 2026, making it the 14th state to legalize human composting. The 45-day reduction cycle forces deferred-revenue treatment under ASC 606, unclaimed soil becomes a tracked inventory line, and NOR vessels need their own depreciation class — here's how funeral homes should set up the books.

Portable Restroom Rental Bookkeeping: Why the Same Fleet Makes Money Two Completely Different Ways

How portable restroom rental companies should account for one fleet serving two revenue models — monthly construction contracts ($100–$300/unit) recognized ratably under ASC 606 versus lump-sum event rentals with deferred deposits — plus 2026 Section 179 expensing up to $2,560,000, 100% bonus depreciation, per-stop route costing, and seasonal cash flow budgeting.

Renaissance Faire and Festival Operator Bookkeeping: Vendor Booth Fees, Weekend-Concentrated Revenue, and 1099 vs. W-2 Cast

How renaissance faire and festival operators should handle books when a year's revenue lands in eight weekends — booking vendor booth deposits as deferred revenue, forecasting twelve months of cash flow, classifying cast under the ABC test with the 2026 $2,000 1099-NEC threshold, and remitting event sales tax within compressed 10-30 day deadlines.

Sign Language Interpreter Agency Bookkeeping: Why a Two-Hour Minimum and a No-Show Fee Can Make or Break Your Margin

How interpreting agencies and freelance ASL interpreters should book VRI versus in-person revenue ($35–$100/hr versus $50–$145/hr with two-hour minimums), cancellation fees, deferred retainers, and 1099-vs-W-2 classification risk — plus revenue per bookable hour, the KPI that actually predicts margin.
