Q: Hi,

I have an accounting question about deferred revenue.

Deferred revenue represents customer payments received for rendering services to be provided subsequent to the current quarter. In the balance sheet statement, deferred revenue is classified as a current or long-term liability.

Let's say in the first quarter, a company receives one million dollars for services to be delivered in subsequent quarters. Will that one million dollars be registered as revenue in the first quarter? Or will the revenue be recognized in the subsequent quarters when the services are rendered?

Once the services are rendered, deferred revenue will be deducted from current or long-term liabilities, those this deduction affects the cash flow statement? The revenue statement?

Q: AD is now paying a 9% dividend which makes it very tempting. I have been investing a long time and have generally found high yield dividend stocks often disappoint. On the other hand I also understand that there are moments where the market will misprice stock values and create opportunity.
So in the case of AD am I correct that holding the stock (which I do) is reasonable and that the stock should appreciate to a value supporting a 4 to 6% yield.
On the other side, at a 9% yield the general market does not share my view and I think predicts a material event or dividend cut.
I have a long time frame and high risk tolerance.
So my question is when does the high yield give you cause for concern?
Thanks John

Q: Hi, Rogers stock took a hit this week due to soft earnings and market concern in general about slowing subscriber growth in wireless. We have 3.5% position in BCE, but wanted to add another Telco/Cable co. for decent dividends and some growth. Just started a 1.5% position at $67.10, average price, in past 2 days. Is it a reasonable move from a long term perspective ? I am aware of the large debt with Rogers, but I also like the growth profile of the company in the group. Could you help us with your assessment. Thanks
