COVER LETTER TO THE STUDENT

Dear Students,

Greetings!

This course will guide you through the what, why and how of intermediate accounting in
today’s business world. At the beginning of each topic, you are shown what, why, how
framework through a presentation of concepts and procedures blended with examples and
solved exercises that can ensure your success.

The What provides you with a concise explanation of accounting principles without
sacrificing topical coverage or quantity of examples.

Understanding Why a financial concept is important, why it is necessary and why it is done
the way it is allows you to be fully engaged with the topic. Instead of memorizing
equations, you will be challenged to think conceptually and consider how accounting
relates to the business world. The need for you to be able to analyze business situations
and make informed, ethical decisions is essential in today’s world. Ethical considerations
are woven throughout the course.

After you have learned the conceptual meaning behind a topic and have seen how it
relates to the real world, you need to be able to complete calculations and apply what you
have learned in a practical sense. The actual repetition and practice of accounting close the
gap, solidifying your knowledge of accounting principles.

My role as facilitator is to serve as a guide on the side, to establish routines, and to manage
the pacing of course. Your knowledge and skills in all the different topics are needed. To
keep ourselves on track, actively engaged and guided, kindly read and be mindful of the
following reminders:

1. Schedule and manage your time to read and understand every part of the module.
Read it over and over until you understand the point. Please note that due to the
problems on erratic internet connections and to be able to cooperate with the
government in observing the GCQ protocols, this online course will be delivered
asynchronously.
2. Study how you can manage to do the activities of this course in consideration of
your other modules from other courses. Be very conscious with the study schedule.
Post it on a conspicuous place so that you can always see. Do not ask your course
facilitator about questions that are already answered in the guide.
3. Log in to the course site at least thrice a week (if you can log in daily, do so) and as
scheduled to keep abreast of important announcements, discussions, and other class
activities. Check the STREAM page every time you log in for possible
announcements.
4. Do not procrastinate. Remember, it is not others who will be short-changed if you
will not do your work on time.
5. Before you start doing your tasks, read and understand the assessment tools
provided. Do not settle with exceptionally low standards, target the highest
standards in doing your assigned tasks. I know you can.
6. You are free to browse and read the different materials even prior to doing the tasks

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 3
in each unit of the module. However, you need to ensure that you will not miss any
part of the module and you will not miss to accomplish every activity in every unit as
scheduled.
7. All course discussions will be conducted using Google Meet and Google Hangouts. If
you will be using mobile app of Google Meet and Google Hangouts, stay logged in so
you can engage in the discussion anytime and anywhere. If you are using the
desktop app, regularly log in to stay in the discussion.
8. All the discussions are academic discussions, which means that these relevant
academic conventions apply.

a. Your post should be composed of complete and grammatically correct sentences.


Do not use abbreviations and acronyms unless these are introduced in the
readings, and do not write in text-speak. Avoid writing in all caps.
b. post appropriate and well-thought rejoinders. Avoid merely approving or
disapproving with your classmates and course facilitators. You need to support
your inputs in the discussions from reliable information and resources. Do not
post uninformed opinions.
c. Read and analyze the contributions made by your classmates in the discussion
forums. Respond appropriately and courteously. Always use proper language.
d. Be polite and respectful in arguing a point and in defending your opinions. Do not
be rude and do not make remarks that may be construed as a personal attack.
Refer to ideas/statements, not the person. Remember that the objective of
academic discussion is to develop your critical and analytical thinking skills apart
from contributing to the wealth of knowledge.
e. Do not post lengthy contributions. Stick to the point. Be clear what your main
point is and express it as concisely as possible. Do not let the discussion stray.
f. Quote your sources in the online discussion by mentioning the last name of the
author and the year. No need to use a particular style.
g. Protect your privacy. Ponder before you post. If you wish to share something
private, do it by email or private chat.

9. Do not plagiarize and do not patch write. Patchwriting is still a form or plagiarism. It
refers to the act of making small changes and substitutions to copied source
material (Merriam-Webster, 2020).
10. Follow the schedule of course activities. Always remind yourself of deadlines. Read in
advance. Try to anticipate possible conflicts between your personal schedule and the
course schedule and make the appropriate adjustments. Try your best to inform
through any means your course facilitator for any unavoidable delays or "absences"
or "silences" of more than a week's duration or other concerns.
11. Note that our Google Classroom is a virtual learning environment, not a social
networking site. Use recent and appropriate ID photo on your profile page for proper
identification.
12. Lastly, you are the learner; hence, you do the module on your own. Your family
members and friends at home will support you but the activities must be done by
you. As a Louisian, we always need to demonstrate our core values of competence,
creativity, social involvement and Christian spirit.

Sincerely,

COURSE INTRODUCTION
This course deals with specialized accounting problems likely to be encountered by
accountants. The study of the various topics in this course is based upon fundamental
valuation accounting and accounting theory as applied to special income and expense
recognition methods and expanded business operations.

This course includes specialized problems in partnership accounting; accounting for


joint arrangement(Philippine Financial Reporting Standards 11); PFRSS 15, Revenue
Contract with Customers which includes accounting for long-term construction
contracts, franchise and consignment sales; accounting for fire insurance accounting
(PFRS 4/PFRS 17); and other special issues such as build-operate-transfer (BOT) (PFRIC
12). This course also included accounting for instalment sales.

MODULE 1: PARTNERSHIP ACCOUNTING


Topic Learning Outcome:
 Understand and apply knowledge of the concepts relating partnership formation,
operation, dissolution, and liquidation.

Unit 1: Partnership Formation


Learning Objectives:
 Differentiate between the accounting for partnerships , sole proprietorships, and
corporations.
 State the valuation of contributions of partners.
 Account for the initial investments of the partners to the partnerships.
 State the peculiar accounts used in a partnership and identify the transactions
that affect these accounts.

When two or more individuals engage in an enterprise as co-


owners, the organization is known as a partnership. This form
of organization is popular among personal service enterprises,
as well as in the legal and public accounting professions.
Partnerships are also particularly common in the service
professions, especially law and medicine. These professions
have generally not adopted the corporate form of business
because of their long-standing tradition of close professional
association with clients and the total commitment of the
ENGAGE professional’s association with clients and the total commitment
of the professional’s business and personal assets to the
property of the advice and service given to clients.

Partnerships are popular forms of businesses because they are easy to form and
because they allow several individuals to combine their talents and skills in a particular
business venture. In addition, partnerships provide a means of obtaining more capital
than a single individual can obtain and allow the sharing of risks for rapidly growing
businesses.

Partners may contribute cash, property or industry to the partnership. Assets
contributions are debited to the appropriate asset account and credited to the capital
account of the partners. When services are the contribution into the partnership, a
memorandum entry is prepared. Accounting entries to record the formation will
depend upon how the partnership is formed. Partnership formation normally involves
questions about the basis by which assets and liabilities are to be recorded in the
partnership books. A partnership may be formed in several ways, namely:
1. Formation of a partnership for the first time.
2. Conversion of a sole proprietorship to a partnership.
a. A sole proprietor allows another individual, who has no business of his own to
join his business; or
b. Two or more sole proprietors form a partnership.

A summary of the topic is presented via power point presentation to


explain further the information from the materials in the context
that you would understand. Additional assignments and lecture
notes via Google classroom may also be given.

EXPLORE

Articles of partnership is a contract that forms an agreement


among business partners to pool labor and capital and share in
profit, loss, and liability. Such a document acts as a rule book for
limited partnerships by outlining all the conditions under which
parties enter into a partnership.

To be able to fully understand the role of Articles of Partnership,


explain the importance of a written
EXPLAIN partnership agreement? Also, identify the
important provisions that should be incorporated in the
Articles of Partnership? Provide an answer to this question by writing your answer
in
the box provided:

Activity 1 – Bonus Method
A and B agreed to form a partnership. A shall contribute P80,000 cash while B shall
contribute P200,000 cash. However due to the expertise that A will be bringing to the
partnership, the partners agreed that they should initially have an equal interest in the
partnership capital.

Requirement: Using the bonus method, provide the journal entry to


record the initial investments of the partners.
EVALUAT
Activity 2 – Cash settlement between partners
A, B and C formed a partnership. Their contributions are as follows:

A B C
Cash 80,0 20,00 200,00
00 0 0
Equipmen 160,0
t 00
Totals 80,0 180,0 200,00
00 00 0

Additional information:

 Although C has contributed the most cash to the partnership, he did not have the
full amount of P200,000 available and was forced to borrow P80,000.
 The equipment contributed by B has an unpaid mortgage of P40,000, the
repayment of which, is assumed by the partnership.
 The partners agreed to equalize their interest. Cash settlements among the partners
are to be made outside the partnership.

Requirements:
a. Which partner(s) shall receive cash payment from the other partner(s)?
b. Provide the entry to record the contributions of the partners.

Activity 3 – Capital credits equal to an agreed stipulation


A and B agreed to form a partnership. The partnership agreement stipulates the
following:
 Initial capital of P280,000.
 A 60:40 interest in the equity of the partnership.

A contributed P200,000 cash while B contributed P80,000 cash.

Requirement: Which partner should provide additional investment (or withdraw part of
his investment) in order to bring the partners’ capital credits equal to their respective
interests in the equity of the partnership?

Learning Objectives:
 State the items that affect the division of a partnership’s profits or losses among
the partners.
 Compute for the share of a partner in the partnership’s profit or loss.

Operation of the partnership usually entails problems involving


the computation of correct net income after adjustment for
unrecorded items. It also involves questions about the
distribution of profit and losses among the partners after
consideration of factors such as salaries, interest, and bonuses
to partners.

Net income is computed in the usual manner, that is matching


revenues and expenses, then credited to the individual capital
accounts. However, the treatment
becomes more complex because of the differences in
capital contributions, ENGAGE in abilities and talents of individual
partners, and in time spent on partnership duties by the
individual partners.

Since a partnership is composed of two or more persons, there should be a clear


indication on how the partnership profit or loss be equitably divided among the
partners. The method of division to be used in any given situation is generally the
method specified in the partnership agreement. This agreement should be consulted
first since it is legally binding on the partners.

Two partners in a new firm failed to make an agreement about


how their profits and losses would be divided. At the end of
the first year, one partner argued that the division should be
based on the balance of the capital accounts. The other
argued that there should be an equal division. Which partner
was correct? What advice would you give to the partners
about the importance of a definite agreement about the
division of profits and losses? Provide an
answer to this EXPLAIN question by writing your answer in the box

Activity 4 – Computation of adjusted profit


Abe, Bert, and Carl are partners sharing profit on a 7:2:1 ratio. On
January 1, 2005, Dave was admitted into the partnership with
15% share in profits. The old partners continue to participate in
profits in their original ratios.

For the year 2005, the partnership showed a


profit of P15,000. However, it was discovered
that the following items were omitted in the firm’s book:
EVALUAT
2004 2005
Accrued expense P 1,050
Accrued income 875
Prepaid expenses P 1,400
Unearned income P 1,225

The share of partner Bert in the 2005 net profit is?

Activity 5 – Distribution of partnership loss


FF, GG and HH form a partnership and agree to maintain average investments of
P2,500,000, P1,250,000, and P1,250,000, respectively. Interest on the excess or
deficiency in a capital contribution is to be computed at 6% per annum. After the
interest allowances, FF,GG, and HH are to share any balance in the ratio of 5:3:2.
Average amounts invested during the first six months were as follows: FF, P3,000,000.
GG, P1,375,000; and HH, P1,000,000. A loss from operations of P62,500 was incurred
for the first six months. How is this loss distributed among the partners?

Activity 6 – Computation of partnership net income


A, a partner in the ABC Partnership, has a 30% participation in partnership profits and
losses. A’s capital account has a net decrease of P 60,000 during the calendar year
20x1. During 20x1, A withdrew P130,000 (charged against his capital account) and
contributed property valued at P 25,000 to the partnership. What was the net income
of the ABC Partnership for 20x1?

Activity 7 – Computation of capital balances of partners

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 9
Roy and Sam were organized and began operations on March 1, 20x1. On that date,
Roy invested P 150,000 and Sam invested computer equipment with current fair value
of P180,000. Because of shortage of cash on November 1, 20x1 Sam invested
additional cash of P60,000 in the partnership. The partnership contract includes the
following remuneration plan:
Roy Sam
Monthly salary (recognized as expense) P10,000 P20,000
Annual interest on beginning capital 12% 12%
Bonus on the net profit before salaries and
interest but after bonus 20% -
Balance equally

The salary was to be withdrawn by each partner in monthly installments. The


partnership’s net profit for 2005 is P120,000.

What are the capital balances of the partners on December 31, 20x1?

Unit 3: Partnership Dissolution


Learning Objectives:
 State the causes of partnership dissolution.
 Account for the effects of partnership dissolution on the partnership equity.

Partnerships rest on contractual foundations, creating an


uncertainty in terms of lifespan, which depends on the
relationships of the partners. Circumstances causing the
technical termination of a partnership may lead to the
partnership’s permanent dissolution and liquidation if the
partners so agree. Partnership dissolution and partnership
liquidation are not the same with each other. Art. 1825 of the
Civil Code of the Philippines defines dissolution as the change in
the relationship of the partners caused by any partner ceasing
ENGAGE to be associated in the carrying out of the business.
Liquidation on the other hand refers to the termination of the
activities carried on by the partnership and the winding up of partnership affairs
preparatory to going out of business. Situations like: admission of a new partner,
retirement of a partner, death of a partner and incorporation of a partnership will result
to partnership dissolution by change in ownership structure.
When changes in the ownership of a partnership occurs, the market values of individual
partnership assets and liabilities most of the time are different from their book values.
These differences can be accounted for by recording them on the partnership books
either by adjusting the assets and liabilities or by adjusting the partners’ capital
accounts.

The following are major considerations in the accounting for partnership dissolutions:

1. ADMISSION OF A NEW PARTNER
An existing partnership may admit a new partner as a primary source of additional
capital or needed business expertise but with the consent of all the partners. When
a new partner is admitted, the partnership is automatically dissolved, and a new
partnership is formed, and an Articles of Co-Partnership is drawn by all the partners.
The admission of a new partner may occur in either of two ways, namely:
a. Purchase of all or part of the interest of one or more of the existing partners.
b. Investment of assets in the partnership by the incoming partner.
2. RETIREMENT/WITHDRAWAL OF A PARTNER
When a partner retires or withdraws from the partnership, the partnership is legally
dissolved, but the remaining partners may continue operating the business. The
retiring/withdrawing partner may receive a settlement equal to his interest, more
than his interest, or less than his interest. The interest of the retiring or withdrawing
partner is usually measured by his capital balance before his retirement or
withdrawal, adjusted by the following:
a. Profit or loss from operations from the last closing date to the date of his
retirement or withdrawal;
b. Changes in the valuation (fair market value versus book value) of all assets
and liabilities; and
c. Errors in the net income in prior years which should be corrected before
determining the interest of the retiring or withdrawing partner.
3. DEATH OF A PARTNER
In the event of the death of a partner, the estate of the deceased partner is entitled
to receive the amount of his interest in the partnership at the date of his death. The
deceased partner’s capital is adjusted using his profit and loss share percentage for
changes in asset values arising from revaluation of assets, and for the profit from
the date the books were last closed. The balance of his capital account after
considering the necessary adjustments should be transferred to a liability account
pending settlement.
4. INCORPORATION OF A PARTNERSHIP
When a partnership is converted into a corporation, the corporation takes over the
assets and assumes the liabilities of the partnership in exchange for shares of
stocks. The shares received by the partnership are distributed to the partners in
settlement of their interest. The partners now become shareholders of the newly
formed corporation.

132,000, a proportionate interest from Nakpil and Ortiz in the net assets and profits of
the partnership. As a result of a transaction, Quizon acquired a one-fifth interest in the
net assets and profits of the firm. Assuming that implied goodwill is not to be recorded,
what is the combined gain realized by Nakpil and Ortiz upon the sale of a portion of
their interest in the partnership to Quizon?

Activity 11 – Withdrawal/Retirement of a partner


On June 30, 1998, the balance sheet for the partnership of Coll, Maduro, and Prieto,
together with their respective profit and loss ratios, was as follows:

Assets, at cost P 180,000

Coll, loan P 9,000


Coll, capital (20%) 42,000
Maduro, capital (20%) 39,000
Prieto, capital (60%) 90,000
Total P 180,000

Coll decided to retire from the partnership. By mutual agreement, the assets are to be
adjusted to their fair value of P 216,000 at June 30, 1998. It was agreed that the
partnership would pay Coll P 61,200 cash for Coll’s partnership interest, including Coll’s
loan which is to be repaid in full. No goodwill is to be recorded. After Coll’s retirement,
what is the balance of Maduro’s capital account?

Unit 4: Partnership Liquidation


Learning Objectives:
 State the order of priority in the settlement of claims in cases of liquidation.
 Account for the liquidation of a partnership

Dissolution is a legal term indicating a change in the legal


relationship between or among partners. Termination is the end
of the normal business function of the partnership. Liquidation
is on the other hand, is winding-up of business affairs. In
liquidation, the association of the partners for purposes of

carrying on activities in the usual manner is considered ended. Partners can only
engage in activities leading to final settlement of business affairs.

Liquidation of a partnership means winding-up the business


usually by selling the assets, paying the liabilities, and
ENGAGE distributing the remaining cash to the partners. A business
which is in the process of converting its assets into cash and
making settlement with creditors is said to be in liquidation. A term which is always
used by a business that is in the process of liquidation is realization, which means the
sale of assets.

In this chapter, emphasis will be placed on the accounting problems and procedures
involved in the winding up (liquidation) of the partnership affairs – from the dissolution
to the effective termination of partnership operations. When the business is to be
liquidated, the accounts must be adjusted and closed, and the resulting income or loss
in the final period is transferred to the capital accounts of the partners. This chapter
presents the concept that accountants must know if they offer professional services to
partnerships undergoing liquidation.

Methods of Partnership Liquidation:


When a partnership is to be liquidated by the sale of assets, the following methods may
be used:
1. Lump-Sum Liquidation otherwise called Total Liquidation or Single Distribution.
 A lump-sum liquidation of a partnership is one in which all the assets are
converted into cash within a noticeably short time, outside creditors are
paid, and a single, lump-sum payment is made to the partners for their
total interests.

2. Installment Liquidation, otherwise called Installment Distribution.


 Under the installment liquidation, non-cash assets are sold on a piece-
meal basis over an extended period of time. Cash realized is immediately
distributed to partners after fully satisfying creditor’s claims after setting
aside sufficient cash for these liabilities. When this happens, the partners
may prefer to receive the amounts due to them in a series of installments
rather than wait until all assets have been converted to cash.
There are certain rules that should be followed in the liquidation of the partnership,
namely:
1. Always allocate and close gains or losses to the partners’ capital accounts prior
to distributing any cash to the partners.
2. When the business is liquidated, the partner is entitled to an amount depending
upon his capital contribution, his drawing, his share in the net income or loss
from operations before liquidation, gains and losses on realization, and the
balance of his loan account, if any.

Each partner will receive in the final settlement the amount of his equity in the
business. The amount of a partner’s equity is increased by the positive factors such as
investment of capital and share in the profits. It is decreased by the negative factors

such as withdrawals and share in the losses. If the negative factors are greater than
the positive factors, the partners will have a deficiency (debit balance) and he must
pay the partnership the amount of such deficiency. Failure to do so would mean that
his fellow partners would bear more that their contractual share in losses and they will
consequently receive less than their equities in the business.

The priorities for creditors’ claim against the asset available to pay partnership
liabilities involve two concepts: the marshaling of assets and the right of offset. At
the point of liquidation, the assets and liabilities of the partnership are directly
intertwined with those of the individual partners’ personal assets and liabilities because
of the unlimited liability of each partner. Marshaling of assets involves the order of
creditors’ right against the partnership assets and personal assets of the individual
partners. The order in which claims against partnership assets will be marshaled is as
follows:

1. First, partnership creditors other than partners.


2. Second, partners’ claim other than capital and profits, such as loans payable and
accrued interest payable.
3. Third, partners’ claim to capital and profit, to the extent of credit balance in
capital account.

The order of claims against the personal assets of the individual partners is as follows:

1. Personal creditors of individual partners


2. Partnership creditors for unpaid partnership liabilities, regardless of a partner’s
capital balance in the partnership.

The rule indicating priority of partner’s loan over partner’s capital is supported by an
established legal doctrine called the right to offset. When a partner’s capital account
shows a debit balance (or even a potential debit balance depending on possible losses)
and said partner has a loan account, the law permits the exercise of the right of offset
by part or his entire loan against the capital deficiency. Although loans from partners
have a higher legal priority than amounts owed as capital and profits, the doctrine of
the right of offset sets aside this ranking in favor of procedural and economic
considerations that facilitate the actual liquidation process. As a result of the exercise
of the right of offset, payment to some partners can be made on their capital balances
even if there are loans payable to the other partners.

A debit balance in the partner’s capital account may be caused by losses incurred in
the realization of assets or by pro-rata absorption of an uncollectible deficit of a partner
whose combined capital and loan accounts is not enough to absorb the partner’s share
of total losses.

MODULE 2: JOINT ARRANGEMENTS


Topic Learning Outcome:
 Understand the nature, forms and structure of a Joint Arrangement and prepare
journal entries and reports (PFRS 11).

Learning Objectives:
 Define a joint arrangement and state its characteristics.
 Differentiate between a joint operation and a joint venture.
 Account for joint operations.
 Describe the accounting requirements for joint ventures.

The core principle of PFRS 11 is that a party to a joint


arrangement determines the type of joint arrangement in which
it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and
accounts for those rights and obligations in accordance with that
type of joint arrangement.

Joint arrangements
A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more
parties have joint control. A joint arrangement has the following
characteristics:
ENGAGE
 the parties are bound by a contractual arrangement, and;
 the contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of
the arrangement.

Contractual Arrangement
The contractual arrangement sets out the terms upon which the parties participate in
the arrangement. It generally addresses matters such as:

a. the objective and duration of the joint arrangement;


b. the specific activities undertaken by the joint arrangement;

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 18
c. how the members of the governing body are appointed and how decisions are
made;
d. the capital or other contributions required of the parties; and
e. how the parties will share assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, or profits or
losses

Joint control
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which
exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent
of the parties sharing control. Before assessing whether an entity has joint control over
an arrangement, an entity first assesses whether the parties, or a group of the parties,
control the arrangement. After concluding that all the parties, or a group of the parties,
controls the arrangement collectively, an entity shall assess whether it has joint control
of the arrangement.

Joint control exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the
unanimous consent of the parties that collectively control the arrangement. The
requirement for unanimous consent means that any party with joint control of the
arrangement can prevent any of the other parties, or a group of the parties, from
making unilateral decisions (about the relevant activities) without its consent.

Relevant Activities – are activities that significantly affect the returns of an


arrangement. Judgment is required when assessing what constitutes relevant activities.
It may include:

a. selling and purchasing of goods or services;


b. managing financial assets during their life (including upon default);
c. selecting, acquiring, or disposing of assets;
d. researching and developing new products or processes; and
e. determining a funding structure or obtaining funding.

A joint arrangement is either a joint operation or a joint venture.

1. JOINT OPERATION - is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint
control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the
liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Those parties are called joint operators.
For example, the contractual arrangement gives the parties an interest in
individual assets and obligations for liabilities of the arrangement.

2. JOINT VENTURE - is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint
control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Those parties are called joint venturers. For example, the contractual
arrangement only gives the parties rights to a share of the net outcome
generated by an economic activity.

ACCOUNTING FOR JOINT OPERATIONS


Joint operators have rights to the assets, but must also bear obligations for the
liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Therefore, a joint operator has to recognize (in
relation to a joint operation):

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 19
 its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
 its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
 its revenue from the sale of its share of the output of the joint operation;
 its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
 its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

Because of the risks involved and the relatively short period of duration of the joint
operation, conservatism dictates that no income is recognized until the joint operation
is completed. The computation and distribution of income to the joint operators are
made only upon the completion of the venture and not at regular or periodic intervals
except under specific circumstances.

No separate records are maintained


In this case, each joint operator will record transactions on behalf of the joint operation
in his own records, alongside with other business dealings. Under this approach, each
joint operator records all joint operation transactions in their own books using the “Joint
Operation” account, which is like the “income summary” account, hence, each joint
operator must inform on time the other joint operator of the joint operation
transactions made by him. In addition, personal accounts are used. A personal account
is a “receivable from”, or a “payable to”, a joint operator.

An account “Joint Operation” is maintained to take the place of all nominal accounts.
This account is debited for all costs and expenses and credited for all revenues
necessary in the computation of the joint operation profit or loss. The following
transactions that affect the account can be summarized as follows:

JOINT OPERATION
Merchandise contribution Merchandise withdrawal
Purchases Purchase returns & allowances
Freight-in Purchase discounts
Sales returns & allowances Sales
Sales discounts Other income
Expenses Unsold merchandise if any

If the joint operation is completed, the balance of the Joint Operation account
represents the profit or loss. Credit balance represents profit and a debit balance
represents loss.

If the joint operation is uncompleted, meaning there are still unsold merchandise, profit
or loss is a balancing figure between the balances of the Joint Operation account before
profit distribution and the cost of unsold merchandise.

Separate records are maintained


When separate records are maintained, the joint operation transactions are recorded in
those separate books in the regular manner, similar to an ordinary business. The joint
operators record only their own transactions in their respective books. Accordingly,
personal accounts and Joint Operation - Cash or similar accounts are not used.

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 20
A joint venturer recognizes its interest in a joint venture as an investment and shall
account for that investment using the equity method in accordance with PAS/IAS 28
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures unless the entity is exempted from
applying the equity method as specified in that standard.

In contrast to joint operation, in a joint venture, a party has an interest in the net
assets and that party’s loss is limited to its investment. When a party in a joint venture
has an interest in net assets and any losses exceed the investment, the losses are not
recognized. Instead, such losses are recognized only to the extent that the party has a
legal or constructive obligation to make payments on behalf of the joint venture.

The investment in the joint venture will be shown as a separate line item on the
balance sheet. It is initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted by the share
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture. Any dividends
received are deducted from the carrying amount of the investment.

An overview of PAS/IAS 28 – Investment in Associate and Joint Venture

Objective of IAS 28
The objective of IAS 28 (as amended in 2011) is to prescribe the accounting for
investments in associates and to set out the requirements for the application of the
equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.

Scope of IAS 28
IAS 28 applies to all entities that are investors with joint control of, or significant
influence over, an investee (associate or joint venture).

Significant influence
Where an entity holds 20% or more of the voting power (directly or through
subsidiaries) on an investee, it will be presumed the investor has significant influence
unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. If the holding is less
than 20%, the entity will be presumed not to have significant influence unless such
influence can be clearly demonstrated. A substantial or majority ownership by another
investor does not necessarily preclude an entity from having significant influence.

The existence of significant influence by an entity is usually evidenced in one or more


of the following ways:

 representation on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the


investee;
 participation in the policy-making process, including participation in decisions
about dividends or other distributions;
 material transactions between the entity and the investee;
 interchange of managerial personnel; or
 provision of essential technical information

The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or
convertible, including potential voting rights held by other entities, are considered
when assessing whether an entity has significant influence. In assessing whether

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 21
potential voting rights contribute to significant influence, the entity examines all facts
and circumstances that affect potential rights.

An entity loses significant influence over an investee when it loses the power to
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of that investee. The loss of
significant influence can occur with or without a change in absolute or relative
ownership levels.

The equity method of accounting


Basic principle. Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in an
associate or a joint venture is recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased
or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after
the date of acquisition.

Distributions and other adjustments to carrying amount. The investor's share of the
investee's profit or loss is recognized in the investor's profit or loss. Distributions
received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Adjustments
to the carrying amount may also be necessary for changes in the investor's
proportionate interest in the investee arising from changes in the investee's other
comprehensive income (e.g. to account for changes arising from revaluations of
property, plant and equipment and foreign currency translations.)

Potential voting rights. An entity's interest in an associate or a joint venture is


determined solely on the basis of existing ownership interests and, generally, does not
reflect the possible exercise or conversion of potential voting rights and other
derivative instruments.

Interaction with IFRS 9. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments does not apply to interests in
associates and joint ventures that are accounted for using the equity method. An entity
applies IFRS 9, including its impairment requirements, to long-term interests in an
associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint
venture but to which the equity method is not applied. Instruments containing potential
voting rights in an associate or a joint venture are accounted for in accordance with
IFRS 9, unless they currently give access to the returns associated with an ownership
interest in an associate or a joint venture.

Classification as non-current asset. An investment in an associate or a joint venture is


generally classified as non-current asset, unless it is classified as held for sale in
accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

Application of the equity method of accounting


Basic principle. In its consolidated financial statements, an investor uses the equity
method of accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. Many of the
procedures that are appropriate for the application of the equity method are similar to
the consolidation procedures described in IFRS 10. Furthermore, the concepts
underlying the procedures used in accounting for the acquisition of a subsidiary are
also adopted in accounting for the acquisition of an investment in an associate or a
joint venture.

Company. The main feature of Harrison’s legal form is that the entity, not the parties,
has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
These activities include the rental of the retail units, managing the car park,
maintaining the center and its equipment, such as lifts, and building the reputation and
customer base for the center as a whole.

As a result, Packet Company paid $1,600,000 for 50,000 shares of Harrison’s voting
common stock, which represents a 40% investment. No allocation to goodwill or other
specific account was made. The joint control over Harrison is achieved by this
acquisition and so Packet applies equity method. Harrison distributed a dividend of $2

INTRODUCTION
Business failure is a common phenomenon in free enterprises. It
may be due to a variety of reasons such as incompetent
management, poor operating control, inadequate financing,
fraud, or other unanticipated adverse developments. Among the
inevitable symptoms of business failure is a lack of liquidity
meaning, the enterprise is unable to meet its current obligations
as they fall due. A corporation’s liquidity problems often swell
and become cumulative. At this point,
outside creditors ENGAGE may decide to exercise their claims and
demand payment of liabilities. The debtor corporation has a
number of alternative courses open to it. It may take
the legal remedy of bankruptcy, it may turn its assets over to its creditors to liquidate,
or it may try to reach an agreement with its creditors to postpone required payments.
To configure this process and to provide protection for all parties concerned and ensure
fair and equitable treatment, the Insolvency Law in the Philippines was established.

Liquidity refers to a firm’s ability to meet its current or short-term obligations, while
solvency relates to the longer time span of obligation. These terms are interrelated. An
auditor who examines the financial statements of an enterprise with a history of losses
and financial difficulties and is in default of loan agreement covenants must, at some
point, assess the enterprise’s ability to continue as a going concern and survive
financially.

A debtor corporation is considered insolvent in the conventional (or equity) sense when
it is unable to pay off its liabilities as they become due. The debtor corporation is
insolvent in the legal sense when the financial condition is such that the sum of all its
debts is greater than all of its assets at fair valuation, as defined in Section 1045 of the
Insolvency Law. Thus, in the legal sense, a corporation remains solvent as long as the
fair value of its assets exceeds its liabilities, even if it cannot meet its current obligation
because of an insufficiency of liquid resources. A debtor corporation that is insolvent
has a large number of alternatives, such as liquidation, reorganization, or debt
restructuring.

Liquidation. When the financial position of the debtor corporation is such that it
cannot resolve its financial difficulties by any of the following quasi-reorganization,
troubled-debt restructuring, and dacion-en-pago accounting, the corporation will have
to resort to liquidation.

CORPORATE LIQUIDATION
This process may be initiated by the debtor filing a debtor’s voluntary petition or
creditor’s involuntary petition with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The corporation is given three years from the date of approval within which to wind up
its affairs.

The Securities and Exchange Commission may appoint a receiver or a trustee following
the filing of a petition for liquidation or bankruptcy. The duties of the trustee are

similar to those in reorganization except that the focus is on a realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities rather than on the preservation and continuation of the
business. The trustee also assumes control over the debtor’s assets, convert these
assets into cash, and liquidate the business as promptly as is attuned with the best
interests of the affected parties. In the course of liquidation, the trustee may continue
the business activity if that is in the interest of an orderly liquidation.

Financial Reports
The focal point of accounting for a business in bankruptcy is that of a “quitting concern’
rather than a ‘going concern’, which is the usual assumption in accounting. A
corporation in liquidation prepares two classes of financial reports. The first class is the
initial report which shows the available asset values and liabilities of the debtor
corporation known as the Statement of Affairs. The second is the periodic report of the
trustee known as the Statement of Realization and Liquidation. This shows how the
trustee managed the assets of the debtor corporation on behalf of the creditors.

STATEMENT OF AFFAIRS
The Statement of Affairs which has been devised for the quitting concern can be
hypothetical or pro-forma in nature. It is an important planning report for the
anticipated liquidation of a company. This statement represents the best estimate on
the outcome of the liquidation of a debtor’s business. Normally, at the start of
liquidation, this statement is prepared for the corporation to provide information about
the current financial position of the company. Thus, assets shown in the statement of
affairs are valued at current fair values; carrying amounts are presented on a
memorandum basis and historical cost figures are not relevant. The various parties
concerned desire information that reflects (1) the net realizable value of the debtor’s
assets and (2) the ultimate application of these proceeds to specific liabilities.

The assets and liabilities are reported according to the classifications relevant to
liquidation. Consequently, assets are classified into three categories as follows:

1. Assets pledged to fully secured creditors. Certain assets may be pledged


as security for a particular liability and the estimated realizable value of the
assets equals or exceeds the amount of the liability. Such assets may also yield
resources to cover unsecured liabilities. The building with an estimated
realizable value of P3,000,000, which secures a P2,000,000 mortgage liability, is
an example of an asset pledged to a fully secured creditor. After the mortgage is
paid, P1,000,000 remains for unsecured creditors.

2. Assets pledged to partially secured creditors. Other assets are pledged as


security for a particular liability and the realizable value of the assets is less than
the amount of the liability. Partial payment of the liability will utilize the entire
asset value; nothing will be left for the unsecured liabilities. The equipment with
a realizable value of P30,000, which secures a P50,000 note payable, is an
example of an asset pledged to a partially secured creditor.

3. Free Assets. Assets are not pledged as security for any particular liability and
are available to meet the claims of priority liabilities and unsecured creditors.
Free assets also include the value of assets pledged to fully secured creditors in

excess of the related liability. In example no. 1, P1,000,000 of the value of the
building is included as free assets.

The liabilities of the company are classified into four categories and listed in parallel
fashion as follows:

1. Unsecured Liabilities with Priority. When a creditor has no lien on specific


assets of the debtor corporation but its claims rank ahead of other unsecured
liabilities in the order of payment, the claims are considered unsecured liabilities
with priority. These liabilities, in order of priority are:
a. Administrative expenses of the trustee
b. Unpaid employees’ salaries and wages and benefit plans
c. Taxes

2. Fully Secured Creditors. For these liabilities, the creditor has a lien on
specific assets, whose estimated realizable value equal or exceeds the amount
of the liability. For example, a bank holds a P2,000,000 mortgage on a building
of a debtor corporation, and the building has an estimated realizable value of
P3,000,000. The mortgage is, therefore, fully secured, and the bank is referred
to as a fully secured creditor.

3. Partially Secured Creditors. All other liabilities for which the creditor has no
lien on any specific assets, but the estimated realizable value of those assets is
less than the amount of the liability. For example, a finance company holds a
P50,000 note secured by an equipment of a debtor corporation, but the
equipment has an estimated realizable value of only P30,000. This note is
partially secured, and the finance company is referred to as a partially secured
creditor.

4. Unsecured Creditors. All other liabilities for which the creditor has no lien on
any specific assets of the debtor corporation are unsecured. This includes the
unsecured portion of the liability to partially secured creditors. In the example
above, there is a note payable to the finance company for P50,000 secured by
the equipment worth P30,000; the difference of P20,000 is added to the
unsecured liabilities.

Illustration of Statement of Affairs


To illustrate the preparation of this statement, assume that Palugi Corporation has
experienced severe financial difficulties in recent times and is currently insolvent. The
corporation officials are trying to decide whether to seek liquidation, reorganization, or
debt restructuring. Consequently, they have asked their accountant to produce a
Statement of Affairs to assist them in formulating an appropriate strategy.

A current Statement of Financial Position for Palugi Corporation, prepared as if the


corporation were a going concern, is presented below:

Before the preparation of a Statement of Affairs, additional data must be ascertained


concerning the insolvent corporation and its assets and liabilities. Hence, the following
information has been accumulated about Palugi Corporation:

1. The marketable securities reported on the statement of financial position


have appreciated in value since being acquired and is now worth P20,000.
Dividends of P500 are currently due from this investment.
2. P12,000 of the company’s accounts receivable can still be collected.
3. The inventory held by the corporation can be sold for P43,000.
4. No refund will be received from the various prepaid expenses and the
corporation’s intangible assets have no resale value.

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 28
5. The land and building can still be sold for P231,000. While the equipment
can only be sold for P32,000.
6. Administrative expenses of P20,500 are estimated if liquidation of the
corporation does occur.
7. Accrued expenses include salaries of P12,000 and payroll taxes from wages
but not yet paid to the government total P3,000.
8. Interest of P5,000 on the corporation’s long-term liabilities has not been
accrued for the first six months of 2021.

The following should be specifically noted in the Statement of Affairs:


a. The current and non-current classifications usually applied to assets and
liabilities are omitted. Since the company is on the verge of going out of
business, such classification is meaningless. Instead, the statement is designed
to separate the secured and unsecured balances.

b. Book values are presented on the left side of the schedule but only for
informational purposes. These figures are not relevant. All assets are reported
at net realizable value, whereas liabilities are shown at the amount required for
settlement.

c. The dividends receivable and interest payable are both included in the
statement, although neither has been recorded on the statement of financial
position. Currently, updated figures must be disclosed within the statement of
affairs.

d. Liabilities having priority are individually identified with the liability section (a)
because these claims will be paid before other unsecured creditors, the P35,500
total also is deducted directly from the free assets and (b) although not yet
incurred, estimated administrative expenses will be necessary or liquidation.

e. According to this statement, if liquidation occurs, Palugi Corporation expects to


have only P57,000 in free assets remaining after settling all liabilities with
priority (c). Unfortunately, the liability section shows unsecured claims with a
total of P95,000. These creditors, therefore, face a P38,000 loss (P95,000 –
P57,000) if the company is liquidated (d).

This final distribution is often converted into an expected recovery


percentage computed as follows:

Net Free Assets P 57,000


= ------------------------- =
---------------------------- --- 60%
Unsecured Claims P 95,000

Thus, unsecured creditors can anticipate receiving only 60 percent of their claims. An
unsecured creditor, for example, who is owed P1,000 by this corporation should
anticipate collecting only P600 (P1,000 x 60%) following liquidation. Fully secured
creditors, of course, receive the full amount owed to them, as well as those creditors
with priority claims.

Accounting and Reporting for Trustee / Receiver


Normally, the trustee opens a new set of accounting records. The assets and liabilities
of the debtor corporation are recorded in the trustee’s books at book values, rather
than at their net realizable values. Contra-asset accounts are omitted because they
are not necessary in liquidation. These accounting procedures are used to keep the
trustee’s accounting records as simple as possible. The reports usually prepared by the
trustee are the Statement of Cash Receipts and Disbursements, and Statement of
Realization and Liquidation.

Assume that Lehman Brother, Inc., the trustee in the liquidation of Palugi Corporation,
took custody of the assets of Palugi Corporation on June 30, 2021. The following entry
should be prepared to open the trustee’s books:

Cash 2,000
Marketable Securities 15,000
Accounts Receivable 23,000
Inventory 41,000
Prepaid Expenses 3,000
Land 100,000
Building 110,000
Equipment 80,000
Patent 15,000
Notes Payable 75,000
Accounts Payable 60,000
Accrued Expenses 18,000
Long-term Notes Payable 200,000
Estate Equity 36,000
To record custody of assets and liabilities of
Palugi Corporation at book values.
After the assumption of the estate, the trustee records gains, losses, and liquidation
expenses directly to the estate equity account. Any unrecorded assets or liabilities the
trustee discovers are likewise recorded in the estate equity account. All assets
acquired and liabilities incurred after the trustee takes charge of the estate are
identified as “new.”

The transactions and events during the first month of Palugi Corporation’s trusteeship
and the related journal entries to record them in the trustee’s books are illustrated
below:

1. The accounting records of Palugi Corporation are adjusted to correct the


balances as of June 30. Hence, the dividends receivable and interest payable
are recognized.

Estate Equity 4,500


Dividends Receivable – new 500
Interest Payable – new 5,000

2. The trustee spends P7,000 to sell the inventory at a price of P51,000. The net
cash is applied to the notes payable for which the inventory had served as
partial security.

Inventory 41,000
Estate Equity 3,000
Notes Payable – current 44,000

3. Collection is made of the P500 cash dividend accrued as of June 30. The related
investments reported at P15,000 are then sold for P19,600.

Cash 20,100

off as bad debts.

Cash 16,000
Estate Equity 7,000

5. The trustee determines that no refund is available from any of the company’s
prepaid expenses. The patent is removed from the accounting records because
they have no cash value.

Estate Equity 18,000


Prepaid Expenses 3,000
Patent 15,000

6. The land and building are sold for P208,000 with P205,000 of this money was
used to pay off the secured creditors.

Statement of Realization and Liquidation


This statement shows a complete record of the transactions of the trustee for a period
of time. It is an activity statement that is intended to show progress, that is, the actual
transactions toward the liquidation of the debtor’s estate. Its definite purpose is to
inform the bankruptcy court and interested creditors of the accomplishments of the
trustee. Its structure is similar to a T-account, and it is composed of three elements:
asset transactions, liability transactions, and income/loss transactions. The structure of
T-accounts for assets and liabilities with hypothetical figures appear as follows:

Asset account
Beginning Balance 100 70 Decreases
Increases 50 80 Ending Balance
150 150

Liability account
Decreases 40 60 Beginning Balance
Ending Balance 50 30 Increases
90 90

The above structure is to be applied to the activities of the trustee or the receiver. The
first duty of the trustee is to realize the assets, that is, to convert the non-cash assets
into cash so that creditors may be paid. The process of realization may be done in
several ways. Some assets may be realized by normal operations, such as the
continuing collection of receivables from customers. Other assets may be realized by
sale. During realization, gains and losses on asset sales may occur, expenses may be
incurred, and revenues may be earned. The gains on realization will decrease the
deficit while losses on realization will further increase the deficit. The realization
activities may be presented in a T-account format as follows:

Assets (except Cash)


Assets to be realized – Beg. Balance Assets realized – Decreases

Assets acquired – Increases Assets not realized – End balance

Income Effect of Realization on Deficit


Gains on Realization Losses on Realization

The second task of the trustee is to liquidate the liabilities, that is, to make full or
partial settlement with the creditors. Again, gains or losses may occur in the process of
liquidation, as well as expenses or revenues. In such manner, the gains on liquidation
will decrease the deficit while losses on liquidation will increase the deficit. The
liquidation activities may also be presented in a T-account format as follows:

Liabilities
Liabilities liquidated – Decreases Liabilities to be liquidated – Beg.
Liabilities not liquidated – End Liabilities incurred - Increases

Income Effect of Liquidation on Deficit


Gains on Liquidation Losses on Liquidation

Closing the Books of the Trustee


The total remaining liabilities of P94,000 (all unsecured creditors) receive P.4596 on the
peso (P43,200 / P94,000) in final settlement of their claims. Entries to record the cash
distribution are as follows:

Notes Payable (P31 000 x .4596) 14,247


Accounts Payable (P60,000 x .4596) 27,575
Accrued Expenses (P3,000 x .4596) 1,378
Cash 43,200
To record payment of the unsecured creditors.

The estate is now fully administered by the trustee. The trustee makes the following
entry to close the books of Palugi Corporation.

Notes Payable 16,753


Accounts Payable 32,425
Accrued Expenses 1,622
Cash 50,800
To close the trustee’s books.

The Statement of Realization and Liquidation differs from the Statement of Affairs in
the following matters: (a) The statement of realization and liquidation shows the actual
liquidation results. In contrast, the statement of affairs is of a pro-forma nature and is
based on estimates rather than on actual results; (b) The statement of realization and
liquidation provides an ongoing reporting of the trustee’s activities and is updated
throughout the liquidation process. The statement of affairs is a summary of the
estimated results of a completed liquidation.

A summary of the topic is presented via power point presentations

that you would understand. Additional assignments and lecture
notes via Google classroom may also be given.

The note is secured by inventory with a book value of P160,000 and a fair value of
P120,000. What amount will the bank receive if unsecured creditors receive 75% of
their claims?

Activity 3 – Computation of claims


Karla Company owes P15,000,000 on the mortgage of its building to Sagada Rural
Bank. The building has a net book value of P20,000,000 and a fair value of
P18,000,000. When Karla Company filed for liquidation, it owed interest of P90,000;
when the building is sold for P18,000,000, the interest due on the mortgage is
P200,000. What amount will the bank receive if the unsecured creditors received 80%
of their claims?

Activity 3 – Computation of claims


Reine Alethea Company has had severe financial difficulties and is considering the
possibility of liquidation. At this time, the company has the following assets (stated at
net realizable value) and liabilities. Assets (pledged against debts of P70,000),
P116,000; Assets (pledged against debts of P130,000), P50,000; Other Assets, P80,000;
Liabilities with Priority, P42,000; Unsecured Creditors, P200,000. In liquidation, how
much would be paid to partially secured creditors?

Activity 4 – Computation of claims


The Statement of Affairs for Ivan Corporation shows that approximately P0.78 on the
peso probably will be paid to unsecured creditors without priority. The corporation
owes JICR Company P23,000 on a promissory note, plus accrued interest on P940.
Inventories with a current fair value of P19,200 collateralized the note payable.
Compute the amount that JICR Company should receive from Ivan Corporation
assuming that the actual payments to unsecured creditors without priority consist of
78% of total claims. (Round all amounts to the nearest peso).

Activity 5 – Computation of claims


Poypoy Co. has been forced into bankruptcy and liquidated. Unsecured claims will be
paid at the rate of P0.50 on the peso. Paul Alex Co. holds a non-interest bearing note
receivable from Poypoy Co. in the amount of P50,000, collateralized by machinery with
a liquidation value of P10,000. The total amount to be realized by Paul Alex Co. on this
note receivable is:

Topic Learning Outcome:
 Account for the revenue recognition principles pertaining to long-term
construction contracts using PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Learning Objectives:
 Apply PFRS 15 to account for revenues from, and costs of, construction
contracts.
 Account for onerous construction contracts.
 Account for changes in the transaction price of a construction contract.
 Account for uncertainty in the collectibility of contract revenue.

INTRODUCTION
Long-term construction contracts are construction projects that
stretch out for more than one accounting period. These
construction projects usually involve the construction of high-
rise buildings, highways, flyovers, and other projects in which
the government is usually involved.

An entity applies PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with


Customers to account for revenues from contracts with
ENGAGE customers. PFRS 15 supersedes PAS 11 Construction Contracts.

SUMMARY OF PFRS 15
PFRS 15 specifies how and when an PFRS reporter will recognize revenue as well as
requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative,
relevant disclosures. The standard provides a single, principles based five-step model
to be applied to all contracts with customers.

The objective of PFRS 15 is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to
report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a
customer.

Key definitions
Contract An agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable
rights and obligations.

Customer A party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that
are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.

Revenue Income arising in the course of an entity’s ordinary activities.

The Five-Step Model Framework


The core principle of PFRS 15 is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. This core principle is delivered in a five-step model framework:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 41
A contract with a customer will be within the scope of PFRS 15 if all the following
conditions are met:
 the contract has been approved by the parties to the contract;
 each party’s rights in relation to the goods or services to be transferred can be
identified;
 the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred can be identified;
 the contract has commercial substance; and
 it is probable that the consideration to which the entity is entitled to in
exchange for the goods or services will be collected.

If a contract with a customer does not yet meet all of the above criteria, the entity will
continue to re-assess the contract going forward to determine whether it subsequently
meets the above criteria. From that point, the entity will apply PFRS 15 to the contract.

The standard provides detailed guidance on how to account for approved contract
modifications. If certain conditions are met, a contract modification will be accounted
for as a separate contract with the customer. If not, it will be accounted for by
modifying the accounting for the current contract with the customer. Whether the latter
type of modification is accounted for prospectively or retrospectively depends on
whether the remaining goods or services to be delivered after the modification are
distinct from those delivered prior to the modification. Further details on accounting for
contract modifications can be found in the Standard.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract


At the inception of the contract, the entity should assess the goods or services that
have been promised to the customer, and identify as a performance obligation:
 a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
 a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that
have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

A series of distinct goods or services is transferred to the customer in the same pattern
if both of the following criteria are met:
a. each distinct good or service in the series that the entity promises to transfer
consecutively to the customer would be a performance obligation that is
satisfied over time; and
b. a single method of measuring progress would be used to measure the entity’s
progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer
each distinct good or service in the series to the customer.

A good or service is distinct if both of the following criteria are met:


a. the customer can benefit from the good or services on its own or in conjunction
with other readily available resources; and
b. the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately
identifiable from other promises in the contract.

Factors for consideration as to whether a promise to transfer goods or services to the


customer is not separately identifiable include, but are not limited to:
a. the entity does provide a significant service of integrating the goods or services
with other goods or services promised in the contract;

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 42
b. the goods or services significantly modify or customize other goods or services
promised in the contract;
c. the goods or services are highly interrelated or highly interdependent.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price


The transaction price is the amount to which an entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for the transfer of goods and services. When making this determination, an
entity will consider past customary business practices.

In a construction contract, the transaction price normally consists of the following:


a. the contract price; and
b. any subsequent variations in the contract price to the extent that it is probable
that they will result in revenue and they are capable of being measured reliably.

However, the transaction price may not be equal to the contract price if the
consideration in the contract is affected by any of the following:
a. variable consideration
b. constraining estimates of variable consideration
c. the existence of a significant financing component in the contract
d. non-cash consideration
e. consideration payable to a customer

Two Types of Construction Contract or Contract Price:

a. Fixed Price Contract - a construction contract in which the contractor agrees


to a fixed contract price, or a fixed rate per unit of output, which in some cases is
subject to cost escalation clauses. A cost escalation clause may provide for an
increase in the original contract price if prices of construction materials or costs
of labor increases by a certain percentage subsequent to the signing of the
contract.

b. Cost Plus Contract - a construction contract in which the contractor is


reimbursed for allowable or otherwise defined costs, plus a percentage of these
costs of a fixed fee. Some contracts, however, contain characteristics of both
types, such as a cost-plus-contract with an agreed maximum price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the


contracts
Where a contract has multiple performance obligations, an entity will allocate the
transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract by reference to their
relative standalone selling prices. If a standalone selling price is not directly
observable, the entity will need to estimate it. PFRS 15 suggests various methods that
might be used, including:
a. Adjusted market assessment approach
b. Expected cost plus a margin approach
c. Residual approach (only permissible in limited circumstances).

Any overall discount compared to the aggregate of standalone selling prices is


allocated between performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis.

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 43
In certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to allocate such a discount to some but
not all of the performance obligations.

Where consideration is paid in advance or in arrears, the entity will need to consider
whether the contract includes a significant financing arrangement and, if so, adjust for
the time value of money. A practical expedient is available where the interval between
transfer of the promised goods or services and payment by the customer is expected to
be less than 12 months.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance
obligation
Revenue is recognized as control is passed, either over time or at a point in time.
Control of an asset is defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially
all of the remaining benefits from the asset. This includes the ability to prevent others
from directing the use of and obtaining the benefits from the asset. The benefits
related to the asset are the potential cash flows that may be obtained directly or
indirectly. These include, but are not limited to:
a. using the asset to produce goods or provide services;
b. using the asset to enhance the value of other assets;
c. using the asset to settle liabilities or to reduce expenses;
d. selling or exchanging the asset;
e. pledging the asset to secure a loan; and
f. holding the asset.

An entity recognizes revenue over time if one of the following criteria is met:
a. the customer simultaneously receives and consumes all of the benefits provided
by the entity as the entity performs;

b. the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer


controls as the asset is created; or

c. the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the
entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance
completed to date.

If an entity does not satisfy its performance obligation over time, it satisfies it at a point
in time. Revenue will therefore be recognized when control is passed at a certain point
in time. Factors that may indicate the point in time at which control passes include, but
are not limited to:
a. the entity has a present right to payment for the asset;
b. the customer has legal title to the asset;
c. the entity has transferred physical possession of the asset;
d. the customer has the significant risks and rewards related to the ownership of
the asset; and
e. the customer has accepted the asset.

Methods of Measuring Progress


The stage of completion of a contract may be determined in a variety of ways. The
enterprise uses the method that measures reliably the work performed. Depending on
the nature of the contract, the methods may include:

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 44
1. Input Measures. Input measures are made in relation to the costs or efforts
devoted to a contract. They are based on an established or assumed relationship
between a unit of input and productivity.

a. Cost-to-cost method. The proportion that contract costs incurred for work
performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs. In other words, the
percentage of completion is determined as the ratio of total costs incurred to
date over the estimated total contract costs.

b. Efforts-expended method. Under this method, the percentage of completion is


based on “efforts expended” in completing the contract, normally in direct labor
hours, rather than on costs.

2. Output Measures. Output measures recognize revenue on the basis of direct


measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services promised
under the contract. Examples would include:

a. Surveys of performance completed to date

b. Appraisals of results achieved, milestones reached, time elapsed and units


produced, or units delivered

Contract Costs
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract must be recognized as an asset if the
entity expects to recover those costs. However, those incremental costs are limited to
the costs that the entity would not have incurred if the contract had not been
successfully obtained (e.g. ‘success fees’ paid to agents). A practical expedient is
available, allowing the incremental costs of obtaining a contract to be expensed if the
associated amortization period would be 12 months or less.

Costs incurred to fulfil a contract are recognized as an asset if and only if all of the
following criteria are met:
a. the costs relate directly to a contract (or a specific anticipated contract);
b. the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in
satisfying performance obligations in the future; and
c. the costs are expected to be recovered.

These include costs such as direct labor, direct materials, and the allocation of
overheads that relate directly to the contract.

The asset recognized in respect of the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract is amortized on
a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of transfer of the goods or
services to which the asset relates.

Presentation in financial statements


Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity’s statement of financial position
as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship
between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment.

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 45
A contract liability is presented in the statement of financial position where a customer
has paid an amount of consideration prior to the entity performing by transferring the
related good or service to the customer.

Where the entity has performed by transferring a good or service to the customer and
the customer has not yet paid the related consideration, a contract asset or a
receivable is presented in the statement of financial position, depending on the nature
of the entity’s right to consideration. A contract asset is recognized when the entity’s
right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time, for
example future performance of the entity. A receivable is recognized when the entity’s
right to consideration is unconditional except for the passage of time.

Contract assets and receivables shall be accounted for in accordance with PFRS 9. Any
impairment relating to contracts with customers should be measured, presented, and
disclosed in accordance with PFRS 9. Any difference between the initial recognition of a
receivable and the corresponding amount of revenue recognized should also be
presented as an expense, for example, an impairment loss.

Disclosures
The disclosure objective stated in PFRS 15 is for an entity to disclose sufficient
information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount,
timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with
customers. Therefore, an entity should disclose qualitative and quantitative information
about all of the following:

- its contracts with customers;


- the significant judgments, and changes in the judgments, made in applying the
guidance to those contracts; and
- any assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a
customer.

Entities will need to consider the level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure
objective and how much emphasis to place on each of the requirements. An entity
should aggregate or disaggregate disclosures to ensure that useful information is not
obscured.

MODULE 5: ACCOUNTING FOR FRANCHISE


Topic Learning Outcome:
 Account for the revenue recognition principles pertaining to accounting for
franchise using PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Learning Objectives:
 Define a franchise contract.
 Apply the general and specific principles of PFRS 15 in recognizing revenue from
franchise contracts.

INTRODUCTION
A franchise agreement involves the granting of business rights
by the franchisor to the franchisee that will operate the
franchise outlet in a certain geographical area or location. Each
party contributes resources.

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 50
Franchising gives the franchisors the opportunity to distribute their products and/or
services with minimum investment in the franchised entity. Franchisees are able to
own their business, reap financial rewards and benefit from the
ENGAGE agreement by way of assistance and guidance from the
franchisor. The franchisee, however, must pay for these
services, and must be willing to accept the franchisors’ control
over their operations.

An entity applies PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to account for
revenues from contracts with customers. PFRS 15 supersedes PAS 18 Revenue.

SUMMARY OF PFRS 15
PFRS 15 specifies how and when an PFRS reporter will recognize revenue as well as
requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative,
relevant disclosures. The standard provides a single, principles based five-step model
to be applied to all contracts with customers.

The objective of PFRS 15 is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to
report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a
customer.

Key definitions
Contract An agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable
rights and obligations.

Customer A party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that
are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.

Revenue Income arising in the course of an entity’s ordinary activities.

The Five-Step Model Framework


The core principle of PFRS 15 is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. This core principle is delivered in a five-step model framework:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer


A contract with a customer will be within the scope of PFRS 15 if all the following
conditions are met:
 the contract has been approved by the parties to the contract;
 each party’s rights in relation to the goods or services to be transferred can be
identified;
 the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred can be identified;
 the contract has commercial substance; and
 it is probable that the consideration to which the entity is entitled to in
exchange for the goods or services will be collected.

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 51
If a contract with a customer does not yet meet all of the above criteria, the entity will
continue to re-assess the contract going forward to determine whether it subsequently
meets the above criteria. From that point, the entity will apply PFRS 15 to the contract.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract


At the inception of the contract, the entity should assess the goods or services that
have been promised to the customer, and identify as a performance obligation:
 a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
 a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that
have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

A series of distinct goods or services is transferred to the customer in the same pattern
if both of the following criteria are met:
a. each distinct good or service in the series that the entity promises to transfer
consecutively to the customer would be a performance obligation that is
satisfied over time; and
b. a single method of measuring progress would be used to measure the entity’s
progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer
each distinct good or service in the series to the customer.

A good or service is distinct if both of the following criteria are met:


a. the customer can benefit from the good or services on its own or in conjunction
with other readily available resources; and
b. the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately
identifiable from other promises in the contract.

Factors for consideration as to whether a promise to transfer goods or services to the


customer is not separately identifiable include, but are not limited to:
a. the entity does provide a significant service of integrating the goods or services
with other goods or services promised in the contract;
b. the goods or services significantly modify or customize other goods or services
promised in the contract;
c. the goods or services are highly interrelated or highly interdependent.

Paragraphs B52-B63 of PFRS 15 cover licensing of intellectual property such as:


 software and technology;
 motion pictures, music and other forms of media and entertainment;
 franchises; and
 patents, trademarks, and copyrights.

The main challenges in this area relate to determination whether licensing of


intellectual property constitutes a distinct good or service and if so, whether
related performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time.

License that is distinct


A license is usually capable of being distinct, but sometimes a customer benefits only
from a combined entity’s output and therefore a license forms a part of wider
performance obligation. The following examples of licenses that are not distinct are
given in PFRS 15:

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 52
a. a license that forms a component of a tangible good and that is integral to the
functionality of the good (e.g. an operating system installed in a smartphone);
b. a license that the customer can benefit from only in conjunction with a related
service.

If a license is distinct, it can provide a customer with either:


a. a right to access the entity’s intellectual property as it exists throughout the
license period; or
b. a right to use the entity’s intellectual property as it exists at the point in time
at which the license is granted.

A license provides a right to access the entity’s intellectual property as it exists


throughout the license period, and therefore the related performance obligation is
satisfied over time, if the customer will essentially be using the most recent form of the
intellectual property during the license period. This is the case when all of the following
criteria are met:
a. the contract requires, or the customer reasonably expects, that the entity will
undertake activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which the
customer has rights;
b. the rights granted by the license directly expose the customer to any positive or
negative effects of the entity’s activities identified above; and
c. those activities do not result in the transfer of a good or a service to the
customer as those activities occur (e.g. software updates that are treated as
distinct services).

If the criteria listed above are not met, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point
in time at which the license is granted to the customer. However, revenue cannot be
recognized before the beginning of the period during which the customer is able to use
and benefit from the license.

License that is not distinct


If a license is not distinct, entities should determine whether the license is a primary or
dominant component in the performance obligation. If so, the specific provision relating
to licensing of intellectual property should be applied. If the license is not a primary or
dominant component in the performance obligation, the general criteria for satisfaction
of performance obligations apply. PFRS 15 does not contain any specific criteria for
determining whether a license is a primary or dominant component in the performance
obligation.

Examples of licenses that are not distinct from other goods or services promised in the
contract:
a. A license that is integral to the functionality of a tangible good (e.g. software
embedded to a machine); and
b. A license that the customer can benefit from only in conjunction with a related
service (e.g. software with web hosting arrangement).

Step 3: Determine the transaction price


The transaction price is the amount to which an entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for the transfer of goods and services. When making this determination, an

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 53
entity will consider past customary business practices. The transaction price in a
franchise contract is commonly referred to as franchise fees.

However, the transaction price may not be equal to the contract price if the
consideration in the contract is affected by any of the following:
a. variable consideration
b. constraining estimates of variable consideration
c. the existence of a significant financing component in the contract
d. non-cash consideration
e. consideration payable to a customer

Franchise fees come in the form of:


1. Initial franchise fee. The initial franchise fee is a consideration for the
establishment of franchise relationship providing some initial services. These
services are as follows:

a. Assistance in site selection (analyzing location and negotiating lease)


b. Evaluation of potential income
c. Supervision of construction activity (obtaining financing, designing building
and supervising contractor on the on-going construction)
d. Assistance in the acquisition of signs, fixtures, and equipment
e. Provision of bookkeeping and advisory services (setting up franchisee’s
records, advising on income, real estate, other taxes, local regulations, etc.)
f. Provision of employee and management training
g. Provision of quality control
h. Provision of advertising and promotion

2. Continuing franchise fee. Continuing franchise fee is a fee received in return for
the continuing rights granted by the franchise agreement, and providing such
services such as management fees, training and conference fees, advertising, and
promotion.

3. Sale of equipment and other tangible assets. In most franchise agreements,


the franchisor provides equipment and other tangible assets to the franchisee for a
separate fee. Also, the franchisor may purchase goods centrally and supplies
directly to franchisees. A markup, purchasing fee or handling fee may be charged
on tangible assets transferred to franchisees.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the


contracts
The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative
stand-alone prices of the distinct goods or services.

The stand-alone selling price is the price at which a promised good or service can be
sold separately to a customer. If there is only one performance obligation in a contract,
the transaction price is allocated only to that single obligation.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance
obligation

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 54
A performance obligation is satisfied when the control over a promised good or service
is transferred to the customer.

 If the performance obligation in the contract is satisfied over time, revenue is


recognized over time as the entity progresses towards the complete satisfaction
of the obligation.

 If the performance obligation in the contract is satisfied at a point in time,


the entity recognizes revenue when the performance is satisfied.

MODULE 6: CONSIGNMENT SALES


Topic Learning Outcome:
 Account for the revenue recognition principles pertaining to consignment sales
using PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Learning Objectives:
 Define a consignment arrangement.
 Apply the principles of PFRS 15 in recognizing revenue from a consignment
arrangement.

INTRODUCTION
The word consignment can be generally defined as the act of
sending a quantity of goods by the manufacturers or producers
to their agents for the latter to sell the goods delivered to him.
Goods so sent are known as "consignment". The sender of the
goods is called the consignor. Generally the manufacturers or
producers are consignors. The person to whom goods are
forwarded for the purpose of sale is known as the consignee.

ENGAGE An entity applies PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with


Customers to account for revenues from contracts with
customers. PFRS 15 supersedes PAS 18 Revenue.

SUMMARY OF PFRS 15
PFRS 15 specifies how and when an PFRS reporter will recognize revenue as well as
requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative,
relevant disclosures. The standard provides a single, principles based five-step model
to be applied to all contracts with customers.

The objective of PFRS 15 is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to
report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a
customer.

The Five-Step Model Framework


The core principle of PFRS 15 is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. This core principle is delivered in a five-step model framework:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer


Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 58
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

ACCOUNTING FOR CONSIGNMENT


Goods sent on consignment do not become the property of the consignee since he has
not bought them. The ownership remains with the sender or the consignor. The
consignee tries to sell the goods according to the instructions of the consignor. When
the goods have been sold, he will deduct his expenses, commission, etc., from the sale
proceeds and the balance is remitted to the consignor.

The relationship between the consignor and the consignee is that of principal and
agent. The consignee is the agent. The consignee acts entirely on behalf of the
consignor. The consignee is entitled to his remuneration which is generally fixed on the
basis of a commission on sales.

The expenses incurred by the consignee must also be reimbursed by the principal. It is
important to remember that the consignee does not buy the goods; he merely receives
the possession of the goods.

Initially, the goods on consignment are valued at cost. Cost should not mean merely
the cost at which the consignor invoices the goods. If expenses that normally increase
the value of goods have been incurred, a proportionate of such expenses should be
included in the cost. These expenses include: shipping cost, freight and handling costs,
insurance on the consigned goods, among others.

As the goods sent on consignment by the consignor are not his sales, he must not
record consignment as sales and the consignee must not record them as purchases.
The consignor should not take up any profit on the transaction until the goods have
been actually sold by the consignee. Since the goods still belong to the consignor, any
unsold goods in the hands of the consignee at the end of the trading period should be
included in the consignor's inventory.

The valuation of inventory in the possession of the consignee at the time of final
closing of the account of the consignor is generally made at lower of cost and net
realizable value (LCNRV).

DISTINCTION BETWEEN CONSIGNMENT AND SALE


The following are the main points of the difference between consignment and sale.

1. Transfer of legal ownership of the goods. In case of sale, the legal


ownership of the goods sold is transferred to the purchaser of goods. Whereas in
case of a consignment of goods, the legal ownership of the goods is not
transferred to the consignee, but the ownership of the goods remains vested in
the consignor till the goods consigned are sold by the consignee.

2. Relationship between consignor and consignee. In case of a sale of goods,


the relationship between the seller and the purchaser of the goods is that of a
creditor and a debtor whereas in case of a consignment, the relationship

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 59
between the consignor and the consignee is that of a principal and agent
because the consignee is to sell goods on behalf of the consignor.

3. Expenses incurred. In consignment, expenses incurred by the consignee in


connection with the goods consigned to him are usually borne by the consignor
whereas in case of a sale, expenses incurred after sale of goods are born by the
purchaser.

4. Risk attached to the goods. In case of consignment, risk attached to the


goods sold lies with the consignor till the goods consigned are sold by the
consignee. But in case of a sale, risk attached to the goods sold is transferred to
the buyer of goods.

5. Return of goods. In case of consignment, return of goods is possible if the


goods are not sold by the consignee. But in case of sale, return of goods may or
may not be possible (e.g. if the goods sold are found to be defective)

6. Reportorial requirement. In case of consignment, the consignee periodically


reports (e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly, depending on the arrangement) to the
consignor for goods sold on consignment. But in case of sales, no such report is
required to be submitted by the purchaser to the seller.

MODULE 7: INSURANCE CONTRACTS


Topic Learning Outcome:
 Understand and have basic knowledge in special topics of accounting for
contracts by insurers using PFRS 17 insurance Contracts.

Learning Objectives:
 State the scope and applicability of PFRS 17.

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 63
 Define an insurance contract.
 Describe the level of aggregation and measurement of insurance contracts.

INTRODUCTION
PFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance
contracts within the scope of the standard. The objective of
PFRS 17 is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information
that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives
a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that
insurance contracts have on the entity's financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows.
ENGAGE
An entity applies PFRS 17 Insurance Contracts for the
recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts. PFRS
17 supersedes PFRS 4.

SCOPE
An entity shall apply PFRS 17 Insurance Contracts to:
a. Insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, it issues;
b. Reinsurance contracts it holds; and
c. Investment contracts with discretionary participation features it issues, provided
the entity also issues insurance contracts.

Some contracts meet the definition of an insurance contract but have as their primary
purpose the provision of services for a fixed fee. Such issued contracts are in the scope
of the standard, unless an entity chooses to apply to them PFRS 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers and provided the following conditions are met:
a. the entity does not reflect an assessment of the risk associated with an
individual customer in setting the price of the contract with that customer;
b. the contract compensates the customer by providing a service, rather than by
making cash payments to the customer; and
c. the insurance risk transferred by the contract arises primarily from the
customer’s use of services rather than from uncertainty over the cost of those
services.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Insurance contract - A contract under which one party (the issuer) accepts significant
insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the
policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects
the policyholder.

Portfolio of insurance contracts - Insurance contracts subject to similar risks and


managed together.

Contractual service margin - A component of the carrying amount of the asset or


liability for a group of insurance contracts representing the unearned profit the entity
will recognize as it provides services under the insurance contracts in the group.

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 64
Insurance risk – Risk, other than financial risk, transferred from the holders of a
contract to the issuer.

Fulfilment cash flows – An explicit, unbiased and probability-weighted estimate (i.e.


expected value) of the present value of the future cash outflows less the present value
of the future cash inflows that will arise as the entity fulfils insurance contracts,
including a risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

Risk adjustment for non-financial risk – The compensation an entity requires for
bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows arising from
non-financial risk as the entity fulfils insurance contracts.

SEPARATING COMPONENTS FROM AN INSURANCE CONTRACT


An insurance contract may contain one or more components that would be within the
scope of another standard if they were separate contracts. For example, an insurance
contract may include an investment component or a service component (or both).

The standard provides the criteria to determine when a non-insurance component is


distinct from the host insurance contract.

An entity shall:
a. Apply PFRS 9 Financial Instruments to determine whether there is an embedded
derivative to be separated and, if there is, how to account for such a derivative.
b. Separate from a host insurance contract an investment component if, and only
if, that investment component is distinct. The entity shall apply PFRS 9 to
account for the separated investment component.
c. After performing the above steps, separate any promises to transfer distinct non-
insurance goods or services. Such promises are accounted under PFRS
15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

LEVEL OF AGGREGATION
PFRS 17 requires entities to identify portfolios of insurance contracts, which comprises
contracts that are subject to similar risks and managed together. Contracts within a
product line would be expected to have similar risks and hence would be expected to
be in the same portfolio if they are managed together.

Each portfolio of insurance contracts issues shall be divided into a minimum of:
 A group of contracts that are onerous at initial recognition, if any;
 A group of contracts that at initial recognition have no significant possibility of
becoming onerous subsequently, if any; and
 A group of the remaining contracts in the portfolio, if any.

An entity is not permitted to include contracts issued more than one year apart in the
same group.

If contracts within a portfolio would fall into different groups only because law or

level of benefits for policyholders with different characteristics, the entity may include
those contracts in the same group.

RECOGNITION
An entity shall recognize a group of insurance contracts it issues from the earliest of
the following:
a. the beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts;
b. the date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group becomes due;
and
c. for a group of onerous contracts when the group becomes onerous.

MEASUREMENT
On initial recognition, an entity shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the
total of:
1. the fulfilment cash flows (“FCF”), which comprise:
a. estimates of future cash flows;
b. an adjustment to reflect the time value of money (“TVM”) and the financial
risks associated with the future cash flows; and
c. a risk adjustment for non-financial risk

2. the contractual service margin (“CSM”).

An entity shall include all the future cash flows within the boundary of each contract in
the group. The entity may estimate the future cash flows at a higher level of
aggregation and then allocate the resulting fulfilment cash flows to individual groups of
contracts.

The estimates of future cash flows shall be current, explicit, unbiased, and reflect all
the information available to the entity without undue cost and effort about the amount,
timing, and uncertainty of those future cash flows. They should reflect the perspective
of the entity, provided that the estimates of any relevant market variables are
consistent with observable market prices.

DISCOUNT RATES
The discount rates applied to the estimate of cash flows shall:
a. reflect the time value of money (TVM), the characteristics of the cash flows and
the liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts;
b. be consistent with observable current market prices (if any) of those financial
instruments whose cash flow characteristics are consistent with those of the
insurance contracts; and
c. exclude the effect of factors that influence such observable market prices but do
not affect the future cash flows of the insurance contracts.

RISK ADJUSTMENT FOR NON-FINANCIAL RISK


The estimate of the present value of the future cash flows is adjusted to reflect the
compensation that the entity requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount
and timing of future cash flows that arises from non-financial risk.

CONTRACTUAL SERVICE MARGIN


The CSM represents the unearned profit of the group of insurance contracts that the
entity will recognize as it provides services in the future. This is measured on initial
recognition of a group of insurance contracts at an amount that, unless the group of
contracts is onerous, results in no income or expenses arising from:

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 66
a. the initial recognition of an amount for the FCF;
b. the derecognition at that date of any asset or liability recognized for insurance
acquisition cash flows; and
c. any cash flows arising from the contracts in the group at that date.

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT
On subsequent measurement, the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at
the end of each reporting period shall be the sum of:
1. the liability for remaining coverage comprising:
a. the FCF related to future services and;
b. the CSM of the group at that date;
2. the liability for incurred claims, comprising the FCF related to past service
allocated to the group at that date.

ONEROUS CONTRACTS
An insurance contract is onerous at initial recognition if the total of the FCF, any
previously recognized acquisition cash flows and any cash flows arising from the
contract at that date is a net outflow. An entity shall recognize a loss in profit or loss for
the net outflow, resulting in the carrying amount of the liability for the group being
equal to the FCF and the CSM of the group being zero.

On subsequent measurement, if a group of insurance contracts becomes onerous (or


more onerous), that excess shall be recognized in profit or loss. Additionally, the CSM
cannot increase and no revenue can be recognized, until the onerous amount
previously recognized has been reversed in profit or loss as part of a service expense.

PREMIUM ALLOCATION APPROACH


An entity may simplify the measurement of the liability for remaining coverage of a
group of insurance contracts using the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) on the
condition that, at the inception of the group:
a. the entity reasonably expects that this will be a reasonable approximation of the
general model, or
b. the coverage period of each contract in the group is one year or less.

Where, at the inception of the group, an entity expects significant variances in the FCF
during the period before a claim is incurred, such contracts are not eligible to apply the
PAA.

Using the PAA, the liability for remaining coverage shall be initially recognized as the
premiums, if any, received at initial recognition, minus any insurance acquisition cash
flows. Subsequently the carrying amount of the liability is the carrying amount at the
start of the reporting period plus the premiums received in the period, minus insurance
acquisition cash flows, plus amortization of acquisition cash flows, minus the amount
recognized as insurance revenue for coverage provided in that period, and minus any
investment component paid or transferred to the liability for incurred claims.

PRACTICAL EXPEDIENTS AVAILABLE UNDER THE PAA:


If insurance contracts in the group have a significant financing component, the liability
for remaining coverage needs to be discounted, however, this is not required if, at

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 67
initial recognition, the entity expects that the time between providing each part of the
coverage and the due date of the related premium is no more than a year.

In applying PAA, an entity may choose to recognize any insurance acquisition cash
flows as an expense when it incurs those costs, provided that the coverage period at
initial recognition is no more than a year.

The simplifications arising from the PAA do not apply to the measurement of the
group’s liability for incurred claims, measured under the general model. However, there
is no need to discount those cash flows if the balance is expected to be paid or
received in one year or less from the date the claims are incurred.

INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH A DPF


An investment contract with a DPF is a financial instrument and it does not include a
transfer of significant insurance risk. It is in the scope of the standard only if the issuer
also issues insurance contracts. The requirements of the Standard are modified for
such investment contracts.

REINSURANCE CONTRACTS HELD


The requirements of the standard are modified for reinsurance contracts held.

In estimating the present value of future expected cash flows for reinsurance contracts,
entities use assumptions consistent with those used for related direct insurance
contracts. Additionally, estimates include the risk of reinsurer’s non-performance.

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is estimated to represent the transfer of risk
from the holder of the reinsurance contract to the reinsurer.

On initial recognition, the CSM is determined similarly to that of direct insurance


contracts issued, except that the CSM represents net gain or loss on purchasing
reinsurance. On initial recognition, this net gain or loss is deferred, unless the net loss
relates to events that occurred before purchasing a reinsurance contract (in which case
it is expensed immediately).

Subsequently, reinsurance contracts held are accounted similarly to insurance


contracts under the general model. Changes in reinsurer’s risk of non-performance are
reflected in profit or loss, and do not adjust the CSM.

MODIFICATION AND DERECOGNITION


 Modification of an insurance contract
If the terms of an insurance contract are modified, an entity shall derecognize
the original contract and recognize the modified contract as a new contract if there
is a substantive modification, based on meeting any of the specified criteria.

The modification is substantive if any of the following conditions are satisfied:


1. if, had the modified terms been included at contract’s inception, this would
have led to:
a. exclusion from the Standard’s scope;
b. unbundling of different embedded derivatives;
c. redefinition of the contract boundary; or

d. the reallocation to a different group of contracts; or
2. if the original contract met the definition of a direct par insurance contracts,
but the modified contract no longer meets that definition, or vice versa; or
3. the entity originally applied the PAA, but the contract’s modifications made it
no longer eligible for it.

DERECOGNITION
An entity shall derecognize an insurance contract when it is extinguished, or if any of
the conditions of a substantive modification of an insurance contract are met.

PRESENTATION IN THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION


An entity shall present separately in the statement of financial position the carrying
amount of groups of:
a. insurance contracts issued that are assets;
b. insurance contracts issued that are liabilities;
c. reinsurance contracts held that are assets; and
d. reinsurance contracts held that are liabilities.

RECOGNITION AND PRESENTATION IN THE STATEMENT(S) OF FINANCIAL


PERFORMANCE
An entity shall disaggregate the amounts recognized in the statement(s) of financial
performance into:
a. an insurance service result, comprising insurance revenue and insurance service
expenses; and
b. insurance finance income or expenses.
Income or expenses from reinsurance contracts held shall be presented separately
from the expenses or income from insurance contracts issued.

INSURANCE SERVICE RESULT


An entity shall present in profit or loss revenue arising from the groups of insurance
contracts issued, and insurance service expenses arising from a group of insurance
contracts it issues, comprising incurred claims and other incurred insurance service
expenses. Revenue and insurance service expenses shall exclude any investment
components. An entity shall not present premiums in the profit or loss, if that
information is inconsistent with revenue presented.

INSURANCE FINANCE INCOME OR EXPENSES


Insurance finance income or expenses comprises the change in the carrying amount of
the group of insurance contracts arising from:
a. the effect of the time value of money and changes in the time value of money;
and
b. the effect of changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk; but
c. excluding any such changes for groups of insurance contracts with direct
participating insurance contracts that would instead adjust the CSM.

An entity has an accounting policy choice between including all of insurance finance
income or expense for the period in profit or loss or disaggregating it between an
amount presented in profit or loss and an amount presented in other comprehensive
income (“OCI”).

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 69
Under the general model, disaggregating means presenting in profit or loss an amount
determined by a systematic allocation of the expected total insurance finance income
or expenses over the duration of the group of contracts. On derecognition of the groups
amounts remaining in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Under the VFA, for direct par insurance contracts, only where the entity holds the
underlying items, disaggregating means presenting in profit or loss as insurance
finance income or expenses an amount that eliminates the accounting mismatches
with the finance income or expenses arising on the underlying items. On derecognition
of the groups, the amounts previously recognized in OCI remain there.

DISCLOSURES
An entity shall disclose qualitative and quantitative information about:
a. the amounts recognized in its financial statements that arise from insurance
contracts;
b. the significant judgements, and changes in those judgements, made when
applying PFRS 17; and
c. the nature and extent of the risks that arise from insurance contracts.

MODULE 8: BUILD, OPERATE AND TRANSFER


Topic Learning Outcome:
 Understand and have basic knowledge in special issues such as build-operate-
transfer (BOT) using IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements.

Learning Objectives:
 Define a build-operate-transfer arrangement that is within the scope of the
PFRSs.
 Account for build-operate-transfer arrangements.

INTRODUCTION
A service concession arrangement is an arrangement
whereby a government or other public sector body contracts
with a private operator to develop (or upgrade), operate and
maintain the grantor's infrastructure assets such as roads,
bridges, tunnels, airports, energy distribution networks, prisons,
or hospitals. The grantor controls or regulates what services the
operator must provide using the assets, to whom, and at what
price, and also controls any significant residual interest in the
ENGAGE assets at the end of the term of the arrangement.

The objective of IFRIC 12 is to clarify how certain aspects of existing IASB literature are
to be applied to service concession arrangements.

Two types of service concession arrangements


IFRIC 12 draws a distinction between two types of service concession arrangement.

1. the operator receives a financial asset, specifically an unconditional


contractual right to receive a specified or determinable amount of cash or
another financial asset from the government in return for constructing or

Property of and for the exclusive use of SLU. Reproduction, storing in a retrieval system, distributing, uploading or posting online, or transmitting in any form or by any
means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 73
upgrading a public sector asset, and then operating and maintaining the asset
for a specified period of time.

This category includes guarantees by the government to pay for any shortfall
between amounts received from users of the public service and specified or
determinable amounts.

2. The operator receives an intangible asset – a right to charge for use of a public
sector asset that it constructs or upgrades and then must operate and maintain
for a specified period of time.

A right to charge users is not an unconditional right to receive cash because the
amounts are contingent on the extent to which the public uses the service.

IFRIC 12 allows for the possibility that both types of arrangement may exist within a
single contract: to the extent that the government has given an unconditional
guarantee of payment for the construction of the public sector asset, the operator has
a financial asset; to the extent that the operator has to rely on the public using the
service in order to obtain payment, the operator has an intangible asset.

ACCOUNTING – FINANCIAL ASSET MODEL


The operator recognizes a financial asset to the extent that it has an unconditional
contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from or at the direction of
the grantor for the construction services. The operator has an unconditional right to
receive cash if the grantor contractually guarantees to pay the operator
a. specified or determinable amounts or
b. the shortfall, if any, between amounts received from users of the public service
and specified or determinable amounts, even if payment is contingent on the
operator ensuring that the infrastructure meets specified quality or efficiency
requirements.

 The operator measures the financial asset at fair value.

ACCOUNTING – INTANGIBLE ASSET MODEL


The operator recognizes an intangible asset to the extent that it receives a right (a
license) to charge users of the public service. A right to charge users of the public
service is not an unconditional right to receive cash because the amounts are
contingent on the extent that the public uses the service.

 The operator measures the intangible asset at fair value.

Operating revenue
The operator of a service concession arrangement recognizes and measures revenue in
accordance with PFRS 15 for the services it performs.

Accounting by the government (grantor)


IFRIC 12 does not address accounting for the government side of service concession
arrangements. IFRSs are not designed to apply to not-for-profit activities in the private
sector or the public sector. However, the International Public Sector Accounting
Standards Board (IPSASB) has started its own project on service concession

arrangements, which will give serious consideration to accounting by grantors. The

INTRODUCTION
An entity applies PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers to account for revenues from contracts with
customers. The installment sales method discussed in this
module is not in accordance with PFRS 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers.

The instalment sales method is a special case of revenue


recognition that deviates from the revenue recognition principles
ENGAGE of PFRS 15. This method may be used for taxation purposes or
when an entity is a micro entity and has opted to use the
income tax basis of accounting.

Installment sales contracts are unique types of credit transactions which provide the
buyer terms and conditions for a chain of payments over a period of time, usually in
months or even years. These types of sales are typical for real estate properties,
jewelry, automobiles, and appliances. Due to the considerable time involved on the
collection of the full amount for these types of sales, interest on the unpaid balance are
usually charged by the seller to the buyer.

INSTALLMENT SALES METHOD


Under the installment sales method of accounting, the difference between the selling
price and the cost of sale is recorded as deferred gross profit or unrealized gross profit.
This account is decreased every so often for the amount recognized as revenue in
proportion to the cash collection made on the sales price. Simply stated, the amount of
gross profit realized in a given period depends upon the gross profit rate on the sale
and the cash collections of installment receivables. At the end of each period, a
balance of deferred gross profit account may appear in the books. This balance is equal
to the gross profit rate multiplied by the balance of installment receivables as of this
date.

ILLUSTRATION:
Assume that on July 31, 2020 an installment sale of an appliance costing $120,000 was
made. The selling price was $150,000. A down payment of $50,000 was required, the
balance payable in twenty monthly payments of $5,000 at the end of each month.

The gross profit on this sale is $30,000 ($150,000 – $120,000) hence, the gross profit
rate is 20% ($30,000 / $150,000) of sales price. Using the installment method, the
computations of annual realized gross profit and deferred gross profit are shown below.

Repossession
At times, customers default on installment contracts and collections could no longer be
made. In such instances, the seller has the option of repossessing the property sold to
discharge any remaining indebtedness.

When goods are acquired in second-hand condition as a result of repossessions and


trade-ins, they should be recorded at their estimated cash purchase prices. In some
companies, these prices are defined and made available to dealers.

The condition of the merchandise repossessed, the cost of reconditioning, and the
market for second-hand merchandise of that particular type must all be considered.
The objective should be to put any acquired asset on the books at its fair
value or, when the fair value is not ascertainable, at the best possible
approximation of fair value.

Some contend that repossessed merchandise should be entered at a valuation that will
permit the company to make its regular rate of gross profit on resale. If it is entered at
its approximate cost to purchase, the regular rate of gross profit could be provided for
upon its ultimate sale, but that is only a secondary consideration. It is more important
that the asset acquired by repossession be recorded at its fair value is in accordance
with the general practice of carrying assets at acquisition price as represented by the
fair market value at the date of acquisition.

The following procedures to record repossession may be used:


1. Record the repossessed merchandise in an appropriate inventory account at
“fair value.” For purposes of applying the installment method, fair value is
either:
a. The appraised value of the repossessed merchandise; or
b. Net realizable value (estimated selling price of the repossessed
merchandise minus reconditioning costs and selling costs) less normal
profit margin, at the date of repossession.
2. Write-off the balance of the deferred gross profit relating to the receivable.
3. Recognize any resulting gain or loss on repossession.
- Ordinarily, however, conservatism would suggest that no more than
unrecovered cost, the difference between the receivable balance and the
deferred gross profit balance, be assigned to repossessed merchandise. No
gain, then, would be reported at the time of repossession. Recognition of any
gain would await the sale of the repossessed merchandise.
4. Cancel the uncollected installment receivable balance of the defaulted contract.

ILLUSTRATION:
Assume the following data with respect to a default and repossession on July 31, 2020:

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 79
Installment Contracts Receivable, 2020 – balance $10,000
Estimated Selling Price of the Repossessed 12,000
Merchandise
Reconditioning Costs 2,500
Gross Profit Rate on Installment Sales in 2020 30%

The loss on repossession may be computed as follows:

Estimated Selling Price of the Repossessed $12,00


Merchandise 0
Less: Reconditioning Costs $
2,500
Normal Profit Margin (30% x $12,000) 3,600 6,100

Less: Unrecovered Cost -
Installment Contracts Receivable $10,00
0
Less: Deferred Gross Profit (30% x $10,000) 3,000 7,000
Loss on Repossession ($1,10
0)

The entry to record the repossession on July 31, 2020, assuming a periodic inventory
system, is as follows:

Repossessed Merchandise 5,900


Deferred Gross Profit – 2020 3,000
Loss on Repossession 1,100
Installment Contracts Receivable – 2020 10,000

The entry to record the reconditioning cost amounting to $2,500, assuming a periodic
inventory system, is as follows:

Repossessed Merchandise 2,500


Cash or Accounts Payable 10,000

Notice that the reconditioning cost is capitalized as cost of the repossessed


merchandise. The repossessed merchandise amounting to $8,400 (market value
before reconditioning costs of $5,900 plus $2,500 reconditioning costs) is reported in
the income statement as addition to purchases to arrive at the total goods available for
sale. If the repossessed merchandise remains unsold, it is included as part of the
ending inventory in the statement of financial position and income statement.

Default by a customer followed by the repossession of the merchandise may occur in


the period of sale when the gross profit rate for the year is not yet known. Under these
circumstances, two steps may be used in recording the repossession, as follows:

1. On the date of repossession, record the repossessed merchandise in an


appropriate account with a corresponding credit to Loss on Repossession.

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 80
2. After establishing the gross profit rate at the end of the period, the installment
contracts receivable balance of the defaulted contract and the related deferred
gross profit are closed to Loss on Repossession. The realized gross profit is
determined based on collections received prior to the default.

Using the same information above, except for the estimated selling price of the
repossessed merchandise amounted to $15,000, the procedures to record the
repossession will be as follows:

The loss on repossession may be computed as follows:

Estimated Selling Price of the Repossessed $15,00


Merchandise 0
Less: Reconditioning Costs $
2,500
Normal Profit Margin (30% x $12,000) 4,500 7,000
Market Value before Reconditioning Costs $
8,000
Less: Unrecovered Cost -
Installment Contracts Receivable $10,00
0
Less: Deferred Gross Profit (30% x $10,000) 3,000 7,000
Gain on Repossession $
1,000

The entry to record the repossession on July 31, 2020, assuming a periodic inventory
system, is as follows:

Repossessed Merchandise 8,000


Deferred Gross Profit – 2020 3,000
Gain on Repossession 1,000
Installment Contracts Receivable – 2020 10,000

If the repossessed merchandise is recorded at a value in excess of $7,000, the


difference between the balance in the installment contracts receivable account and the
deferred gross profit account, a gain will be reported on the repossession.

Ordinarily, however, conservatism would suggest that no more than unrecovered cost,
the difference between the receivable balance and the deferred gross profit balance, be
assigned to repossessed merchandise. No gain, then, would be reported at the time of
repossession. Recognition of any gain would await the sale of the repossessed
merchandise.

Any gain or loss on defaults and repossessions is normally recognized on the income
statement as an addition to or subtraction from the realized gross profit on installment
sales and the resulting balance is labeled as “Total Realized Gross Profit after Gain or
Loss on Repossession.”

Trade-Ins
At times it may be necessary for companies to accept second-hand merchandise as
trade-ins to form part of the down payment of the installment sale. This practice is
most common for car dealers. These companies permit trade-ins as partial payment for
the purchase of a new car. As a general rule, the net realizable value of the asset
received as trade-in should be used in valuing or recording the said item. The
accounting procedures to record trade-ins depend on certain circumstances as
discussed in the following cases:

Case 1: Trade-in value is equal to actual value. Normally, trade-in value allowed
to a customer is the amount charged to the asset traded-in provided the amount is
realistic and indicative of the fair market value or net realizable value of the item. Net
realizable value is the value of the old merchandise traded-in after the provisions of
expected costs to recondition, cost of disposal and a normal profit upon its resale are
taken into account.

No problem is encountered when the value assigned to the old merchandise traded-in
is equal to its net realizable value. Merchandise Inventory – Traded-In is debited for the
net realizable value of the traded-in merchandise (which, at this time, is equal to its
trade-in value), Cash is debited for any cash payment accompanying the trade-in,
Installment Contract Receivable is debited for the balance of the sales price, and
Installment Sales is credited for the full amount of the sales price.

Illustration:
Assume that on July 31, 2020, the Road Company sells a car for an installment price of
$870,000. The car costs $696,000. The customer trades-in his old car and is given a
trade-in value $270,000 for his old car. He makes a down payment of $240,000 and the
balance to be paid in twelve equal installments is $30,000 each. It is estimated that the
old car can be sold for $420,000 after incurring reconditioning expenses estimated at
$66,000. The company usually makes a gross profit of 20% on resale.

The computation below shows that the trade-in value is equal to its actual value.

Trade-in value allowed to customer $270,00

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 82
Merchandise Inventory, traded-in 270,000
Cash 240,000
Installment Contracts Receivable, 2020 360,000
Installment Sales 870,000

Case 2: Trade-in value is greater than net realizable value. At times, the trade-in
value given to the customer is greater than the realizable value of the item received
from him as a special inducement to the customer. Accounting problem arises if the
seller grants an over allowance on the used merchandise taken in. Over allowance is
the excess of the trade-in value granted over the net realizable value of the used
merchandise. The amount of the over allowance may be recorded either as a charge to
Over Allowance on Trade-In account or as a reduction from Installment Sales account to
arrive at a valid amount for the net sales price.

Illustration:
Assume the same example from Case 1 except that the trade-in value given for the car
amounted to $275,000. The net realizable value of the merchandise traded-in and the
amount of the over allowance may be computed as follows:

Trade-in value allowed to customer $275,00


0
Less: Market value before reconditioning
costs
Estimated resale value $420,00
0
Less: Reconditioning cost $66,00
0
Normal profit margin (20%) 84,000 150,000 270,000
Over allowance $
5,000

Assuming the over allowance is charged to Over Allowance on Trade-In account and the
perpetual inventory system is used, the journal entry to record the sale of the new
merchandise is:

Merchandise Inventory - traded-in 270,000


Over Allowance on Trade-In 5,000
Cash 240,000
Installment Contracts Receivable, 2020 360,000
Installment Sales 875,000

The gross profit rate on the installment sale is computed as follows:

Installment sales $875,000


Less: Over allowance 5,000
Net installment sales $870,000
Less: Cost of installment sales 696,000
Gross profit $174,000

Gross profit rate ($174,000/$870,000) 20%

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 83
The above rate will be applied when computing for the realized gross profit on the basis
of collections. The value of the merchandise traded-in, $270,000 is viewed as a
collection for this purpose. Assuming the over allowance is treated as reduction from
Installment Sales account and the perpetual inventory system is used, the journal entry
to record the sale of the new merchandise is:
Merchandise Inventory - traded-in 270,000
Cash 240,000
Installment Contracts Receivable, 2020 360,000
Installment Sales 870,000

Note: In instances where an under allowance would result from the trade-in transaction
(the trade-in value allowed to customer is less than the net realizable value of the
merchandise traded-in), the under allowance is treated as an addition to the selling
price of the new merchandise for which the old merchandise is traded-in.

Merchandise Inventory – Traded-In is presented in the Statement of Financial Position as


part of the ending inventory. When a periodic inventory system is used, trade-ins are
recorded in a separate nominal account, and this balance is added to purchases in
determining cost of goods sold at the end of the period.

Allocation of Cost of Goods Sold


Companies selling on installment basis typically also have cash sales and sales on
short-term credit. Employing the perpetual inventory system poses no problem as the
cost of each type of sale is determined and recorded at the same time with the
recording of the sales transaction. However, if the company uses the periodic or
physical inventory system in the determination of cost, proper allocation of the total
cost of goods sold among the different types of sales may cause problems. The
procedures to be followed in allocating the cost of goods sold would depend upon the
circumstances and information available.

ILLUSTRATION:
Beta Company sells merchandise for cash, charge and on installment basis. The
company employs the periodic inventory system in determining costs. At the end of
2020, the following information is available:

Cash sales $ 600,000


Charge sales 1,200,000
Installment sales 3,000,000
Merchandise inventory, January 1 480,000
Purchases 2,900,000
Freight-in 120,000
Repossessed merchandise 140,000
Merchandise inventory, December 31 520,000

Based on the above data, the cost of goods sold to be allocated is computed below:

Merchandise Inventory, January 1 $


480,000
Add: Purchases $
2,900,000

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 84
Freight-in 120,000
Repossessed Merchandise 140,000 3,160,000
Total Goods Available for Sale $
3,640,000
Less: Merchandise Inventory, December 520,000
31
Cost of Goods Sold $
3,120,000

Case 1: If no additional facts are known other than the data given above, the cost of
goods sold must be allocated according to the ratio of each type of sale to total sales,
shown as follows:

Amount Allocated
Type of Sale of Sales Ratio to Cost
Total
Cash $ 600/4,800 $
600,000 390,000
Charge 1,200,000 1,200/4,800 780,000
Installment 3,000,00 3,000/4,800 1,950,00
0 0
$ $
4,800,000 3,120,000

The allocation would be fairly valued if the selling prices of the goods are the same
regardless of the type of sale. However, it is normal to have different selling prices for
every type of sale.

Case 2: Assume that the selling prices for charge and installment sales of Beta
Company are higher than the cash sales price by 20% and 25%, respectively. The
relevant sales figures must be expressed in terms of the cash sales price in order to
obtain a valid ratio. The allocation of the cost of goods sold should be based on cash
price as presented below:

Amount
Based
Amount of on Ratio to Allocated
Type of Sale Sales Cash Sales Total Cost
Cash $ $ 600,000 600/4,000 $
600,000 468,000
Charge 1,200,000 1,000,000a 1,000/4,000 780,000

a
$1,200,000 / 120% = $1,000,000
b
$3,000,000 / 125% = $2,400,000

Case 3: If the mark-up or gross profit percentage on cost price or sales price is known,
the allocation will be a simple matter. Assume that Beta Company’s gross profit rates

on selling price are 25% on cash sales, 35% on charge sales, and 37% on installment
sales. The allocation of cost of goods sold would be as follows:

Amount of Gross Profit Gross Allocated


Type of Sale Sales Rate Profit Cost*
Cash $ 25% $ $
600,000 150,000 450,000
Charge 1,200,000 35% 420,000 780,000

*Sales less Gross Profit

COST RECOVERY METHOD


Under this method gross profit is not recognized until collections are equal to the
amount of cost of goods sold. That is, all collections, both interest and principal
portions are treated first as recovery of the property costs. After the recovery of the full
cost, all collections are regarded as realization of gross profit. This deferral of gross
profit until cost is fully recovered is too conservative. This method is probably most
applicable in the sale of services or products of a nature which does not permit
repossessions and when the customers’ notes have no fair market value.
