1. Topic 3: Revenue and other income

1.1. Type 1: 5-step process (IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers)

Importance: High

Question 1: Which of the following items is not part of the ‘five step’ approach for revenue recognition as outlined in IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers?

A.      Allocate the total price between the separate performance obligations in the contract

B.      All contracts must be in writing

C.      Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied

D.     Identify the contract

Guidance:

Remember: 5-step model

Step 1

Identify the contract

• Mutual Agreement

• Between 2+ parties

• With enforceable rights & obligations

Step 2

Identify the separate performance obligations within a contract

• Promises to transfer distinct goods or services to a customer.

• Must identify distinct performance obligations within a contract

Step 3

Determine the transaction price

Should consider:

• Variable consideration

• Non-cash consideration

• Consideration payable to customer

• Existence of significant financing component

Step 4

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Based on relative stand-alone price

 

Step 5

Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied

Determine if the contract is satisfied:

• Overtime

→ recognize gradually

• At the point of time

→  recognize at that point

Answer: B

Contracts do not necessarily be in writing, it can be in verbal form.

However, many business entities may prefer to have written contracts so that there is certainty as to what has been agreed with customers.

Question 2: On 1 December 20X1, Wade receives an order from a customer for a computer as well as 12 months of technical support. Wade delivers the computer (and transfers its legal title) to the customer on the same day.

The customer paid $420 on 1 December 20X1. The computer normally sells for $300 and the technical support for $120.

Identify 5 steps applied to this transaction, according to IFRS 15.

Guidance:

Remember: 5-step model

Step 1

Identify the contract

- Mutual Agreement

- Between 2+ parties

- With enforceable rights & obligations

Step 2

Identify the separate performance obligations within a contract

- Promises to transfer distinct goods or services to a customer.

- Must identify distinct performance obligations within a contract

Step 3

Determine the transaction price

Should consider:

- Variable consideration

- Non-cash consideration

- Consideration payable to the customer

- Existence of significant financing component

Step 4

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Based on relative stand-alone price

 

Step 5

Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied

Determine if the contract is satisfied:

• Overtime

→ recognize gradually

• At the point of time

→ recognize at that point

Answer:

The 5 steps would be applied to this transaction as follows:

Step 1

Identify the contract

There is an agreement between Wade and its customer for the provision of goods (the computer) and services (the technical support).

Step 2

Identify the separate performance obligations within a contract

There are two performance obligations within the contract:

• The supply of a computer

• The supply of technical support

Step 3

Determine the transaction price

The total transaction price is $420.

Step 4

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Based on stand-alone sales prices:

• $300 should be allocated to the sale of the computer

• $120 should be allocated to the sale of technical support.

Step 5

Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied

• Control over the computer has been passed to the customer so the full goods revenue of $300 should be recognized on 1 December 20X1.

• The technical support is provided over time, so revenue from this should be recognized over time. In the year ended 31 December 20X1, the revenue of $10 (1/12 × $120) should be recognized from the provision of technical support.

 

Question 3: Repro has prepared its draft financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X4 It has included the following transactions in revenue at the amounts stated below.

Which of these has been correctly included in revenue according to IFRS 15 Revenue from

Contracts with Customers?

A.      Agency sales of $250,000 on which Repro is entitled to a commission of 10%.

B.      Sale proceeds of $20,000 for motor vehicles that were no longer required by Repro.

C.      Sales of $150,000 on 30 September 20X4. The amount invoiced to and received from the customer was $180,000, which includes $30,000 for ongoing servicing work to be done by Repro over the next two years.

D.     Sales of $200,000 on 1 October 20X3 to an established customer who (with the agreement of Repro) will make full payment on 30 September 20X5 Repro has a cost of capital of 10%.

Guidance:

Because the question asks to determine how much revenue should be included, students should mainly focus on step 5 in the 5-step model – revenue recognition.

Remember to:

  • Identify whether the obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time.
  • In addition, please carefully determine whether the revenue is gained from ordinary trading activities.

Answer: C

Although the invoiced amount is $180,000, $30,000 of this has not yet been earned and must be deferred until the servicing work has been completed.

  • Option A is incorrect. The commission fee is separately shown under commission income or sundry income. It is not revenue gained from ordinary trading activities.
  • Option B is incorrect. The transaction is asset disposal, which gives rise to “profit or loss on asset disposal”. The revenue is not shown gross less book value of the asset. It is shown as the net result of the disposal.
  • Option D is incorrect. $200,000 receivable in 2 years’ time needs to be discounted for two years using the company’s cost of capital of 10%. The figure to include in revenue would therefore be $165,289.

1.2. Type 2: Long-term/Construction contract - Contract profit/loss

Importance: High

Question 4: CN started a three‐year contract to build a new university campus on 1 April 20X4. The contract had a fixed price of $90 million. CN will satisfy the performance obligation over time. CN incurred costs to 31 March 20X5 of $77 million and estimated that a further $33 million would need to be spent to complete the contract.

CN measures the progress of contracts using work completed compared to the contract price. On 31 March 20X5, a surveyor valued the work completed to date at $63 million.

What are the correct amounts to be shown in revenue and cost of sales in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 20X5?

Guidance:

Step 1

Determine Total profit/loss of the contract, by subtracting the total cost of completion from total contract revenue (price).

  • Total revenue: usually given in the question.
  • Total cost: consists of the cost incurred to date per question & estimated cost to be incurred in the future.

 

 

Step 2

Identify the percentage (%) of completion of the contract.

It can be measured by:

  • Given in the question
  • Using work completed compared to total contract revenue

 

 

Step 3

Decide how to treat the total profit/loss of Step 1.

If the contract results in:

  • Total profit: account for the loss proportionally (according to the completion progress of the contract) to the P/L of the year per question.
  • Total loss: immediately account for 100% of the loss to the P/L of the year per question.

 

 

Step 4

Present statement of profit or loss (P/L)

Using the equation: Revenue – Costs of sales = Profit/Loss

  • Determine year-end revenue, profit/loss at first.
  • Then compute the costs of sales by balancing the equation

1.4. Type 4: Transaction price allocation (using stand-alone price)

Importance: Average

Question 8: A mobile phone company gives customers a free handset when they sign a two-year contract for the provision of network services. The handset has a standalone price of $100 and the contract is for $20 per month.

Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations.

Guidance:

Before IFRS 15 was applied, the company did not record $100 from Handset revenue, and total revenue for both: Network + Handset services was recorded as $240.

After IFRS 15 is applied, although Handset is free for customers and does not generate revenue for the business, revenue for both: Network + Handset services must be recognized, as Handset is also an obligation to perform in the contract.

Prepare the answer in the form below:

 

Stand-alone price ($)

%

Allocation

Item 1

 

 

 

Item 2

 

 

 

Total Values

 

100%

 

Answer:

Revenue for the two types of Network + Handset services is distributed proportionally as follows:

 

Stand-alone price ($)

%

Allocation

Handset

100

17% (100/580)

82

Contract - two years

480

83% (480/580)

Total Values

580

100%

480

The total amount received from the contract is $480 ($20 * 12 months * 2 years), this value will be allocated separately for each obligation to perform in the contract. Revenue of each obligation will be recognized as follows:

Year 1:

Handset ($480 x 17%)

82

Contract ($480 - $82)/2

199

Year 2: Contract ($480 - $82)/2 = $199
