21. The customer pays a deposit upon entering into the contract and the deposit is refundable only
if the entity fails to complete construction of the unit in accordance with the contract. The

obtains physical possession of the unit. If the customer defaults on the contract before completion
of the unit, the entity only has the right to retain the deposit. Which of the following statements is
correct?
a. The entity’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time because the entity does not have
an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

contract.
c. The entity’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time because it takes a short period

to develop all the units in the multi-unit residential complex.

progress payments during construction of the unit. The contract has substantive terms that

customer does not have the right to terminate the contract unless the entity fails to perform as
promised. If the customer defaults on its obligations by failing to make the promised progress
payments as and when they are due, the entity would have a right to all of the consideration
promised in the contract if it completes the construction of the unit. The courts have previously
