Installment method is a method of revenue recognition in which gross profit is deferred until cash from
the sale is received. Unlike the cost recovery method, which defers the profit till the cash collections
exceeds the costs; installment method recognizes proportionate profit at receipt of each installment.
Installment method is a conservative method of revenue recognition. It is only applied in situations, for
example in real estate, when the risks and rewards are not completely transferred at the time of sale. It
differs from cost recovery method because in installment method there is less doubt about collectability
of the installments.
Discussion:
The installment sales method is a special case of revenue recognition which deviates from the revenue
recognition principles of PFRS 15.
PAS 1.19 states that “ in the extremely rare circumstances in which management concludes that
compliance with a requirement in a PFRS would be so misleading that it would conflict with the
objective of financial statements set out in the FRAMEWORK, the entity shall depart from that
requirement if the relevant regulatory framework requires, or otherwise does not prohibit such
departure”
Brief History
The “installment sales method” has originated from the traditional U.S GAAP and is usually applied by
entities providing financing through long-term installment sales of real properties and personal
properties having relatively high values when there is uncertainty in the collection of the consideration.

At the end of 2018, John the beloved Sells for P1, 000,000 property costing P425, 000. Terms of the
sale are P400, 000 down with the balance to be paid in annual instalment of P100, 000.
COGS 425,000
Merchandise inventory 425,000
Cash 400,000

Notes:
Under PFRS 15 revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the entity satisfies a
performance obligation.
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. The entity recognizes
revenue over time by measuring its progress towards the complete satisfaction of that
performance obligation. If the outcome of a performance obligation cannot be reasonably
measured the entity recognizes revenue only up to the extent of costs incurred that the entity
expects to recover until such time that the outcome of performance obligation can be
reasonably measured.
If the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, revenue is recognized WHEN control
over the promised good or service is transferred to the customer.
In both cases , the timing of revenue recognition is not affected by the timing of receipt of the
consideration. i.e. whether the consideration is to be received in lump sum or installment.
However, if the timing of the receipt of the consideration provides the entity or the customer with
a significant benefit of financing, the revenue recognized shall be an amount adjusted for the
effects of the time value of money, but still , the adjusted amount is recognized as revenue when
or as the performance obligation is satisfied.
If, at contract inception, the collectability of the consideration is not probable, the entity does not
recognize any revenue from the contract. Any consideration received is recognized as liability.
In subsequent periods , if the collectability of the consideration (a) becomes uncertain, the entity
assesses its receivable for impairment or (b) becomes significantly uncertain, the entity ceases
from recognizing further revenue from the contract and assesses its receivable for impairment.

Exercise 2
Discussion:
Under the “cost recovery method” the initial collections on the sale are treated as recovery of the costs
of the inventory sold. Thus, no gross profit or interest income is recognized until total collections from the
sale exceed the cost inventory sold.
This method is different from the “cost-recovery approach” under PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with
customers. Under the said approach of PFRS 15, when the outcome of a performance obligation that is
satisfied over time cannot be reasonably measured. Revenue is recognized only to the extent of costs
incurred that the entity expects to recover.
PFRS 15 does not state that revenue recognition should be based on actual collection. Rather, revenue
is recognized only up to extent of costs that are expected to be collected . Costs incurred that are not
expected to be recovered are recognized immediately as expense.
It is also a deviation from PFRS 15
