INTRODUCTION
A franchise is a contractual arrangement under which the franchisor grants franchisee the right to sell certain
products or services, to use certain trademarks or trade names, or to perform certain functions, usually within a
designated geographical area.
Sale of Initial franchise fee and related assets or services (Initial Franchise Fee)
Continuing fees based on the operations of franchises (Continuing Franchise Fees)
Performance Obligations:
Franchise agreements vary but usually involve an initial payment (called an initial franchise fee) by the franchisee
and ongoing payments of continuing franchise fees. For initial franchise fee, the franchisor (the party who grants
business rights under the franchise) normally provides the franchisee (the party who operates the franchised
business) with the following services:
Continuing franchise fees (royalty fee) are received in return for the continuing rights granted by the franchise
agreement and for providing such services as management training, advertising and promotion, quality control,
budgeting and other accounting service, legal assistance, and other support.
The continuing fees (royalty payments) , which are typically computed as a percentage of the franchisee’s sales but
can also be a fixed periodic amount, are recognized by the franchisor as revenue in the same period that the sales
are made by the franchisee.
Occasionally, the continuing franchise fee (royalty payments) is not large enough to cover the franchisor’s cost of the
continuing services provided. However, the initial franchise fee is unusually large. In such cases, the franchisor
records a portion of the initial fee as a liability and amortizes the amount to franchise revenue over the life of the
franchise (over time).
FRANCHISE ACCOUNTING
Substantial Performance:
YES NO
o collected at the end of each month base on a certain percentage of their monthly sales
o Continuing fees (royalty fee) should be reported as revenue when they are earned (over time) and
receivable from the franchisee, unless a portion of them has been designated for a particular
purpose, such as providing a specified amount for building maintenance or local advertising. In that
case, the portion deferred shall be an amount sufficient to cover estimated cost in excess of
continuing franchise fees and provide a reasonable profit on the continuing services (point in
time).
Depending on the economic substance of the rights, the franchisor may be providing access to the right rather than
transferring control of the franchise rights. In this case, the franchise revenue is recognized over time, rather than at a
point in time.
Franchise Cost:
1. Direct franchise cost- deferred until related revenue is recognized. It should not exceed the anticipated
related revenue.
2. Indirect franchise cost- occurs on a regular basis, should be expensed when incurred.
Note: All Direct and Indirect Costs related to Continuing Franchise Fee are expensed when incurred

In addition to providing services as part of the continuing franchise fee, a franchisor often sells supplies to the
franchisee. These sales occur because the franchisor may be able to obtain quantity discounts from manufacturers
or wholesalers, or to ensure the quality of the supplies. The franchisor records these sales and related expenses in
the normal manner.
Sometimes, however, the franchise agreement grants the franchisee the right to make bargain purchases of
equipment or supplies AFTER the initial franchise fee is paid.
The deferred portion would be accounted for as an adjustments of selling price when the franchisee subsequently
purchases the equipment or supplies (point in time)

CONSIGNMENT ACCOUNTING
A consignment constitutes the transfer of possession of merchandise without transfer of title from the owner, called
the consignor, to another person, called the consignee. The consignee acts as an agent in behalf of the consignor for
the purpose of selling the goods for a commission.
The shipment of goods to the consignee does not transfer the title of the goods, thus, it is not treated as a sale. The
recognition of sale is deferred until goods are transferred to a third party by the consignee. (e.g. customer)
The merchandise carried throughout the consignment as the inventory of the consignor, separately classified as
Merchandise Inventory on Consignment. It is not recorded as an asset in the consignee’s book. Upon sale of the
merchandise, the consignee has liability for the net amount due the consignor.
Paragraph B78 of PFRS 15 provides some of the indicators that an arrangement is a consignment arrangement:
the product is controlled by the entity until a specified event occurs, such as the sale of the product to a
customer of the dealer or until a specified period expires;
the entity is able to require the return of the product or transfer the product to a third party (such as another
dealer); and
the dealer does not have an unconditional obligation to pay for the product (although it might be required to
pay a deposit).
