The entities have agreed on a price related to the performance obligations. No work has begun on the performance obligations and the contract is cancelable without payment of penalty or other consideration. It is probable that the company completing the work will collect the agreed upon consideration. Does a contract exist between the entities to which the revenue recognition criteria may be applied?
