Revenue Recognition-Real Estate Development Lillehammer Lakes is a new recreational real estate development which consists of 500 lake-front and lake-view lots. As a special incentive to the first 100 buyers of lake-view lots, the developer is offering 3 years of free financing on 10-year, 12% notes, no down payment, and one week at a nearby established resort-"a $1,200 value." The normal price per lot is $15,000. The cost per lake-view lot to the developer is an estimated average of $3,000.
