II. The promise to transfer the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in
the contract.
III. The promise to transfer the good or service is explicitly stated in the contract, the rights of
the parties and payment terms are identifiable, and the collectability of the revenue from

d. None of these

23. According to PFRS 15, how does an entity account for a promise in the contract to transfer a
good or service that is not distinct?
a. The entity shall not recognize any revenue from the promise to transfer a non-distinct good
or service; any consideration received therefrom is treated as a liability.
b. The entity shall recognize revenue from a promise to transfer a non-distinct good or service
at the earlier of the following events: the entity has no remaining obligation in the contract
and the contract is terminated and the consideration received is non-refundable.
c. The entity shall combine the non-distinct good or service with the other promises in the

Fact pattern for the next two items:

An entity is developing a multi-unit residential complex. A customer enters into a binding sales
contract with the entity for a specified unit that is under construction. Each unit has a similar floor
plan and is of a similar size, but other attributes of the units are different (for example, the location
of the unit within the complex).

25. The customer pays a deposit upon entering into the contract and the deposit is refundable only
if the entity fails to complete construction of the unit in accordance with the contract. The
remainder of the contract price is payable on completion of the contract when the customer
obtains physical possession of the unit. If the customer defaults on the contract before
completion of the unit, the entity only has the right to retain the deposit. Which of the
following statements is correct?
a. The entity’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time because the entity does not
have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
 Page |6

b. The entity’s performance obligation is satisfied over time because the contract is a construction
contract.
c. The entity’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time because it takes a short period
of time to construct just one unit in a multi-unit complex.
d. The entity’s performance obligation is satisfied over time because it takes a long-period of time
to develop all the units in the multi-unit residential complex.

26. The customer pays a non-refundable deposit upon entering into the contract and will make
progress payments during construction of the unit. The contract has substantive terms that
preclude the entity from being able to direct the unit to another customer. In addition, the
customer does not have the right to terminate the contract unless the entity fails to perform as
promised. If the customer defaults on its obligations by failing to make the promised progress
payments as and when they are due, the entity would have a right to all of the consideration
promised in the contract if it completes the construction of the unit. The courts have previously
upheld similar rights that entitle developers to require the customer to perform, subject to the
entity meeting its obligations under the contract. Which of the following statements is correct?
a. The asset (unit) created by the entity’s performance does not have an alternative use to the
entity.
b. The entity has a right to payment for performance completed to date.
c. The entity’s performance obligation is satisfied over time.
d. All of these

27. Which of the following statements is correct?

a. Long-term construction contracts are unique from other contracts with customers.
Therefore, PFRS 15 excludes from its scope the accounting for long-term construction
contracts.
b. Long-term construction contracts are unique from other contracts with customers.
Therefore, PFRS 15 requires an entity to recognize revenue from long-term construction
contracts using either the percentage of completion method or the zero-profit method.
c. PFRS 15 does not provide a special distinction between long-term construction contracts
from other types of contracts with customers. Therefore, an entity shall apply the same
principles in accounting for long-term construction contracts as those applied to other types
of contracts with customers.
d. PFRS 15 does not exclude long-term construction contracts from its scope. However,
because of the unique nature of long-term construction contracts, PFRS 15 requires an
entity to recognize revenue from a long-term construction contract that is expected to be
completed within 3 years or more using the percentage of completion method. For those
that are expected to be completed within a shorter period, revenue shall be recognized
when construction is complete.
