Partnership Formation
Characteristics of a Partnership
• Co-ownership of contributed capital – Assets contributed to the partnership become
assets of the partnership by virtue of its separate legal personality.
• Income Tax – Partnership except General Professional Partnership (like CPAs, lawyers,
etc.) are subject to income tax rate of 30% based on net income.
• Limited Life – A partnership may be dissolved at any time by action of the partners or by
operation of law.
• Legal Entity – A partnership has a legal personality separate and distinct from that each
of the partners.
• Mutual Agency – Any partner may act as an agent of the partnership in conducting its
affairs.
• Mutual Participation in Profit – A partner has the right to share in partnership profits.
• Unlimited Liability – The personal assets of any partner may be used to satisfy the
creditors’ claims in the partnership if the firm’s assets are not enough to settle the
liabilities to outsiders.
Advantages of a Partnership
• It is easy and inexpensive to organize compared with a corporation.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 6
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
• The unlimited liability of the partners makes it reliable from the point of view of the
creditors.
• The combined personal credit of the partners offers better opportunity for obtaining
additional capital than a sole proprietorship.
• The participation in the business by more than one person makes possible for a closer
supervision of all its activities.
• The direct gain to the partners is an incentive to give close attention to the business.
• The personal element in the character of the partners is retained.
Disadvantages of a Partnership
• The personal liability of a partner for partnership debts deters many from investing
capital in a partnership.
• A partner may be subject to a personal liability for the wrongful acts or omissions of his
associates.
• It is less stable because it can be easily dissolved.
• There is divided authority among partners.
• There is a constant likelihood of dissension and disagreement when each of the partners
has the same authority in the management of the partnership.
• There is difficulty in disposing of interest since no formal established marketplace exists
for the sale of partnership interest.
Types of Partnership
1. As to Activity
a. Trading Partnership – one whose main activity is the manufacture or the purchase
and sale of goods.
b. Non-Trading Partnership – one organized for the purpose of rendering services.
2. As to Object
a. Universal Partnership
• Universal Partnership of all Present Property – one in which the partners
contribute all the properties which actually belong to each of them at the time of
formation. All assets contributed to the partnership and subsequent acquisitions
become common partnership assets.
• Universal Partnership of all Profit – one which comprises all that the partners
may acquire by their industry or work during the existence of the partnership and
the usufruct of movable property or immovable property which each of the
partners may possess at the time of formation. Partnership assets consist of
assets acquired during the life of the partnership and only the usufruct or use of
the assets contributed at the time of formation. The original movable or
immovable property contributed do not become common partnership assets.
b. Particular Partnership – one which has for its object determinate things, their use or
fruits, or a specific undertaking or the exercise of a profession or vocation.
3. As to Liability of Partners
a. General Partnership – one consisting of general partners who are liable prorata and
sometimes solidarily with their separate property for partnership debts.
b. Limited Partnership – one formed by two or more persons having as members one
or more general partners and one or more limited partners who as such are not
bound by the obligations of the partners.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 7
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
4. As to Duration
a. Partnership at Will – one for which no time is specified and is not formed for a
particular undertaking or venture and which may be terminated any time by mutual
agreement of the partners or by the will of one alone.
b. Partnership with a Fixed Term – one in which the term or period for which the
partnership is to exist is agreed upon or one formed for a particular undertaking and
upon the expiration of that term or completion of the particular undertaking, the
partnership is dissolved unless continued by the partners.
5. As to Representation to Others
a. Ordinary Partnership – one which actually exists among the partners and also as to
third persons.
b. Partnership by Estoppel – one which in reality is not a partnership but is considered
partnership only in relation to those who by their conduct or omission are precluded
to deny or disprove the partnership’s existence.
6. As to Legality of Existence
a. De Jure Partnership – one which has complied with all the requirements for its
establishment.
b. De Facto Partnership – one which has failed to comply with one or more of the legal
requirements for its establishment.
7. As to Publicity
a. Secret Partnership – one wherein the existence of certain persons as partners is
not made known to the public by any of the partners.
b. Open Partnership – one wherein the existence of certain persons as partners is
made known to the public by the members of the firm.
Kinds of Partners
1. As to Contribution
a. Capitalist Partner – one who contributes capital in the form of money or property.

business and is not known to the public as a partner. He is both a silent and a secret
partner.
Articles of Co-Partnership
As compared to other forms of business organization, accounting for partnership differs with
regard to capital accounts. In a partnership, there should be as many capital accounts and
as many drawing accounts as there are partners. Example: In ABC Partnership, the partners
are AAA, BBB and CCC. The capital accounts are: AAA Capital, BBB Capital and CCC
Capital. The drawing accounts are: AAA Drawing, BBB Drawing and CCC Drawing.
The transactions affecting the capital and drawing accounts of each partner are:
CAPITAL
Permanent withdrawal (decrease) of capital Original investment by a partner
Share in the partnership profit from
Share in the partnership loss from operations
operations
Debit balance of drawing account closed to
Additional investment by a partner
capital
DRAWING
Personal withdrawal by a partner in Share in partnership profit from operation
anticipation of profits (temporary withdrawal (this may be credited directly to capital)
of capital)
Share in partnership loss from operation (this
may be debited directly to capital)
Aside from the contributions, the partnership may acquire additional financing from its
present partners. Any loan between a partner and the partnership is always accompanied by
a proper loan documentation such as promissory note. A loan from partner is shown as
“Loan Payable, Advances from Partner, Due to Partner” on the partnership books similar to
any other loan. Unless all partners agree otherwise, the partnership is obligated to pay the
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 9
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
individual partner interest on the loan and such interest is reported in the Income Statement
of the partnership as an “Expense”.
On the other hand, the partnership may also lend money to a partner. In this case, the
partnership records a “Loan Receivable, Advances to Partner, Due from Partner”. Again,
unless otherwise agree by the partners, the loan bears interest and such interest is reported
in the Income Statement of the partnership as “Income”.
Partners Contributions
Partners may contribute cash, property or industry to the partnership. Assets contributions
are debited to the appropriate asset accounts and credited to the capital accounts of the
partners. Below are the rules:
• If the asset contributed is cash, it is recorded in the partnership books at face value.
• If the assets contributed are in the form of properties or non-cash assets, such are
recorded at agreed values. In the absence of an agreement, such are recorded at fair
market values.
• If the contribution is service, a memorandum entry is prepared.
In some instances, one or two or all of the partners are former sole proprietors who decide to
unite their assets and liabilities to form a stronger enterprise. In such situation, the new
partnership may open a new set of books or may continue using the books of one of the sole
proprietors. If a new set of books will be used, entries are prepared to record the
contributions. However, if the books of one of the sole proprietors are used, the following
procedures shall be followed:
1. Adjust the books of the sole proprietor which shall be used as partnership books.
2. Record the investment of the other partners.
Prior to recording partners’ initial contributions to the partnership, the individual partners first
agree not only on the valuation of asset contributions but also on their capital credit. The
“capital credit” of each partner is the percentage of equity that each of them will have in the
net assets of the newly formed partnership.
Generally, the capital share of a partner is proportionate to his capital contribution. However,
in recognition of intangible factors such as a partner’s special expertise, established clientele
or necessary business connections, partners may agree to a division of capital that is not
proportionate to their capital contributions. This will give rise to allowing “BONUS” on initial
investments.
Partnership Operation
Accounting for partnership operations is essentially the same as accounting for the
operations of any other forms of business organization. Sale of merchandise on account is
debited to Accounts Receivable and credited to Sales. Collection of accounts is debited to
Cash and credited to Accounts Receivable. The purchase of merchandise on account is
recorded by a debit to Purchases and credit to Accounts Payable. Payment of accounts is
debited to Accounts Payable and credited to Cash. Payment of expenses is debited to
Expenses and credited to Cash.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 10
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
At the end of the accounting period, adjustments are made for merchandise inventory,
accruals, prepayments, provisions for uncollectible accounts and provision for depreciation.
Profit is determined in the usual manner that is by matching revenues and expenses.
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 following
are the factors to be considered in establishing a just and fair profit and loss sharing
agreement:
• Services rendered by the partners to the partnership. Salaries are given to partners
proportionate to time devoted to the organization. Those who devote more time should
have greater salary share. (Salaries).
• Amount of capital contributed by the partners. Interest on capital contribution is
allowed to each partner to give recognition to the differences in capital contributed to the
partnership. Thus, a partner with highest capital contribution gets the highest interest
share. (Interest on Capital – Beginning, Ending or Average).
• Entrepreneurship ability or managerial skills of the partners. Bonus is allowed to
partner when the partnership realizes profits in order to give recognition to managerial
skills. (Bonus)
The following is the list of rules in the division of profits and losses:
1. As to Capitalist Partners
a. Division of Profits
• In accordance with agreement
• In the absence of an agreement, division of profits is in accordance with capital
contribution
b. Division of Losses
• In accordance with agreement
• If only the division of profits is agreed upon, then the division of losses will follow
the same proportion
• In In the absence of an agreement, division of profits is in accordance with capital
contribution
2. As to Industrial Partners
a. Division of Profits
• In accordance with agreement
b. Division of Losses
• In accordance with agreement
• In the absence of an agreement, the industrial partner shall have no share in his
character as an industrial partner

Correction of Errors
The reported net income (loss) of the partnership maybe incorrect due to the possible errors
and/or omissions in the prior year or in the current year. The effect on income tax paid
should also be considered because the net income distributed to partners is net of applicable
tax. It is understood that the tax implications of the corrections are properly accounted for
especially if the partnership is not a general professional partnership.
Below is the summary of the effect of errors/omission to the net income (loss) of the
partnership:

Partnership Dissolution
Dissolution is defined in Article 1825 of the Civil Code of the Philippines as the change in
the relationship of the partners caused by any partner ceasing to be associated in the
carrying out of the business. It refers to the termination of the life of the existing partnership.
The dissolution of the partnership may be followed by:
1. Formation of a new partnership
2. Liquidation
Accounting for changes in the ownership structure of a partnership is influenced by the legal
concept of dissolution. When there is a change in the ownership structure, the original
partnership is dissolved and often a new partnership is created. The dissolution and
subsequent creation of a new partnership indicates that a new legal entity has been created
and accounting should measure properly the initial contributions of capital being made to the
new partnership. Changes in the ownership structure of the partnership are presumed to be
arm’s-length transactions which reflect the current value of the partnership. Therefore, such
changes may indicate that:
• The existing assets of the original partnership should be revalued.
• Unrecorded intangible assets exist that are allowing bonus to partners.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 12
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
A partnership is not dissolved when a partner assigns his interest in the partnership to a third
party because assignment itself does not change the relations among partners. Such
assignment only entitles the assignee to receive the interest of the assigning partner in
future partnership profits and in partnership assets in the event of liquidation. The assignee
does not become a partner and does not obtain the right to share the management of the
partnership.
Since the assignee does not become a partner, the only change required is the transfer of
the capital interest of the assignor to the assignee. The amount of the capital transfer is
equal to the recorded amount of capital at the time of assignment regardless of the
consideration made.
Example: A, B and C are partners in ABC Partnership with capital of P100,000; P150,000
and P50,000 respectively. Partner A assigns his interest to Partner D for a consideration of
P150,000. What is the entry to record the transfer in the partnership books?
A, Capital 100,000
D, Capital 100,000
Take note that the amount of the capital of the assignor during the time of assignment
should be credited to the assignee. Any excess/deficit is a personal gain or loss of the
assignor. In the example, the excess of P50,000 is a personal gain of Partner A and a
personal loss of Partner D.
The dissolution of a partnership doesn’t necessarily mean that the partnership must stop in
doing business. The admission of a new partner and the retirement or death of a partner
require the legal dissolution of the old partnership and the creation of a new partnership.
Accounting for this type of dissolution requires the determination of each partner’s capital in
the business.
New partners are often a primary source of additional capital or needed business expertise.
A new partner may be admitted in an existing partnership with the consent of all the
partners. Upon admission, the original partnership is automatically dissolved and a new one
is formed although the daily operations of the business generally are not affected. A new
partner may be admitted into a partnership by:
• Purchase – purchase of interest from one or more of the old partners.
• Investment – asset contribution to the partnership.
Proforma Entry:
Capital (Old) xxx
Capital (New) xxx
To record the transfer of capital from old to new partner.
However, revaluation of assets of the old partnership is generally undertaken prior to the
admission of new partner. It may be a positive or negative asset revaluation. The effect
of the asset revaluation is carried to the capital accounts of the old partners. The
adjusted capital of the old partners becomes the basis for the interest transferred to the
new partner.
Proforma Entry:
Other Assets xxx
A, Capital xxx
B, Capital xxx
To record the positive asset revaluation.
A, Capital xxx
B, Capital xxx
Other Assets xxx
To record the negative asset revaluation.
Kindly note that in case of asset revaluation, there is no gain or loss to be recognized
since the asset revaluation reflected the adjusted capital of the old partners.
Example: A and B are partners with capital balances of P100,000 and P200,000
respectively. C is to be admitted by investing P50,000 for a ¼ interest. Agreed capital
may be computed as follows:
• 50,000 / ¼ = P200,000
• 300,000 / ¾ = P400,000
b. Contributed Capital – the investment of all the partners, both old and new. Using
the example above, the total contributed capital is P350,000 (300,000 + 50,000).
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 14
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
d. Bonus – the transfer of capital from one partner to another. Bonus to old partners is
capital transfer from new partner to the old partners and vice versa. There is a bonus
when capital credit to individual partners do not equal their capital contributions
although the agreed capital is equal to the total contributed capital.
The retirement, withdrawal or death of a partner results in the legal dissolution of the
partnership. The dissolution does not require termination of the business. The primary
accounting issue is the proper measurement of the retiring or deceased partner’s capital
account. This requires a determination of the fair value of the partnership at the time the
partner retires or dies including the computation of partnership profit since the end of the last
accounting period. The following is the pro-forma computation of the partner’s capital
balance:
The interest of the deceased partner is subsequently settled to his estate. On the other
hand, the interest of the retiring partner may be:
• Sold to a new partner (outsider)
• Sold to existing (continuing) partners
• Sold to partnership
1. Sale of Interest to a New Partner (Outsider). With the consent of all remaining
partners, a retiring partner may sell his interest to an outsider. The sale is recorded in the
same manner as admission of a partner by purchase. The partnership recognizes only
the transfer of capital from the retiring partner to the new partner. No gain or loss is
recorded by the partnership as a result of the sale. Only the reclassification of capital
among the partners is recorded in the partnership books.
2. Sale of Interest to Existing (Continuing) Partners. The interest of the retiring partner
may be acquired by one or all of the remaining partners. The sale is recorded in the
same manner as the sale of interest to a new partner. Therefore, the capital or interest of
the retiring partner is transferred to the capital of the remaining partners. Just like the
sale of interest to new partner, only the reclassification of capital among the partners is
recorded in the partnership books.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 15
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
3. Sale of Interest to the Partnership. A retiring partner may sell his capital interest to the
continuing partners through the partnership. The partnership records the reduction of
total partnership capital and the corresponding reduction of assets which was paid to the
retiring partner. The settlement to the retiring partner is either by:
• Payment of cash
• Transfer of non-cash assets
• Recognition of a liability
The amount to be paid to the retiring partner may be equal to, less than or more than the
book value of his interest. When the amount paid or the retirement price is not equal to
the interest sold, the difference may be treated as bonus or asset revaluation.
Partnership Liquidation
At the point of liquidation, the assets and liabilities of the partnership are directly intertwined
with those of the individual partners because of the unlimited liability of each partner. The
priorities for creditors’ claim against the available assets to pay the partnership’s liabilities
involve two concepts:
1. Marshalling of Assets – involves the order of creditors’ rights in the partnership assets
and the personal assets of the individual partners. The order in which claims against the
partnership assets will be marshalled as follows:
a. Partnership creditors other than partners
b. Partners’ claim other than capital and profit such as loans payable and any accrued
interest payable
c. Partners’ claim to capital and profits to the extent of credit balances in capital
accounts
2. Right of Offset – involves offsetting a deficit in a partner’s capital against the loan
payable to that partner. The effect is that the loans due to partners (credit balance) are
combined with the respective partners’ capital balances.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 16
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
Procedures:
a. Compute the interest of each partner.
b. Sale of Non-Cash Assets and allocation of gain or loss on realization (Add if gain,
Deduct of loss)
c. Payment of Liquidation Expenses
d. Distribution of cash to creditors and partners
balances according to their profit and loss ratio. When the allocation of estimated liabilities,
expenses, liquidation losses and debit balances in capital are completed, assets may now
be distributed to partners in amounts equal to the resulting credit capital balances.
Partners may desire to determine in advance as to whom cash distributions shall be made
as cash may become available. The program is prepared prior to liquidation. The steps in
the preparation of the program are as follow:
a. Determine the total partners’ interest.
b. Divide the total partners’ interest by their profit and loss ratio to get each partner’s loss
absorption capacity.
c. After loss absorption balances are determined, allocations may now be made starting
with partner with the highest absorption balance reduced by the next highest.
d. Once the partners’ absorption balances are equal, cash distributions are made in the
profit and loss ratio.

The home office and branch accounts are reciprocal accounts, meaning they should be
equal at all times. However, reciprocity will not exist if errors or omissions have been made
in recording inter-branch transactions, or if transactions have been recorded in the other
books but not in the other.
The reconciliation of the home office and branch accounts is similar to the approach used in
bank reconciliation. The most common reconciling items are:
• Shipment by home office in transit
• Merchandised returned by the branch not yet received by the home office
• Collections by the home office for the account of the branch
• Collections by the branch for the account of the home office
• Expenses allocation of the home office to the branch
• Payment of branch account by the home office
• Payment of home office account by the branch
• Remittance by the branch still in transit
The financial statements of the branch are submitted to the home office for consolidation
because the home office and the branch are considered as a single entity.
Consolidation Procedures:
1. Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses of the home
office and branch.
2. Eliminate inter-company transactions.
• Eliminate home office and branch account.

There are instances when home office finds it necessary to authorize the transfer of
merchandise from one branch to another branch. Since branches receiving shipments are
properly charged with freight and freight is properly accounted as inventoriable cost, any
excess freight should be absorbed by the home office and treated as an operating
expense. On the other hand, any reduction in freight is treated as savings/income by the
home office.

• SIC-31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.
Objective: 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.
Scope
The scope of PFRS 15 applies to all contracts, provided the counterparty to the contract is a
customer, subject to these specific exceptions:
1. Lease contracts (PAS 17 Leases)
2. Insurance contracts (PFRS 4 Insurance Contracts)
3. Financial instruments and other contractual rights or obligations within the scope of
PFRS 9 Financial Instruments (PAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement), PFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, PFRS 11 Joint
Arrangements, PAS 27 Separate Financial Statements and PAS 28 Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures
4. Non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate
sales to customers or potential customers. For example, PFRS 15 does not apply to a
contract between two oil companies that agree to an exchange of oil to fulfil demand
from their customers in different specified locations on a timely basis.
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

A contract can be oral, written or implied by an entity’s business practice. A contract with
a customer will fall within the scope of PFRS 15 when all the following criteria are met:
• The parties to the contract have approved the contract;
• Each party’s rights in relation to the goods or services to be transferred can be
identified;
• The payment terms and conditions for the goods or services to be transferred can be
identified;
• The contract has commercial substance (i.e., the risk, timing or amount of the entity’s
future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and
• The collection of an amount of consideration to which the entity is entitled to in
exchange for the goods or services is probable.
If the above criteria are met, a contract shall not be re-assessed unless there is an
indication of a significant change in facts or circumstances, however if the contract does
not meet the above criteria the entity will continue to re-assess the contract going
forward to determine whether the criteria are subsequently met.
Is collectability probable?
• Assessment is done from the perspective of whether the customer has the “ability
and intention” to pay the amount of consideration to which the company expects to
be entitled.
• If this criterion is not met, then revenue cannot be recognized (effectively precluding
the use of the cash basis of accounting) and any consideration received is recorded
as a liability (e.g., unearned revenue) until either of the following events has
occurred:
✓ The entity has no remaining performance obligations and all or substantially all
the consideration for the performance obligations in the contract has been
received and is non-refundable.
✓ The contract is terminated and the consideration received is non-refundable.

A bus manufacturer offers for sale both fully manufactured buses and spare parts. When
a customer purchases a fully manufactured bus, it is made up of many inputs (e.g.,
engine, tires, frame, etc.); however, the customer is not receiving these individual inputs
(e.g., the engine in isolation). Rather, these inputs are used to produce a combined
output to the customer (i.e., a bus).
Although engines may be sold separately as a spare part, which would indicate that it
meets the first criterion of being a distinct good (i.e., capable of being distinct), in the
context of a contract for a fully manufactured bus the engine is not considered distinct
because it is an input and the entity is providing a significant service by integrating the
engine with other goods and services in the contract (i.e., the engine is not distinct within
the context of the contract). Therefore in this type of contract, the engine is not
considered to be a distinct good or service, and is not a separate performance obligation.
Based on the contract, the customer has title to and controls the work in progress as the
products are being manufactured. The manufacturer has determined an expected
average cost for manufacturing the product and has also determined that using an input
method based on costs (for this particular contract) is an appropriate method because it
represents the manufacturer’s performance when transferring control of the goods.
This contract is determined to be for a series of distinct goods that are effectively one
performance obligation because of the following:
• The goods are similar in nature and are transferred consecutively over time.
• The contract is satisfied over time because the customer has title to and controls the
work in progress while the products are being manufactured and therefore meets the
criterion for over-time recognition.
• The same method (i.e., cost to cost) is used to measure progress toward the
satisfaction of the performance obligation of each individual product.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 42
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
• Given that the series criterion is met, the entity must account for the series as one
performance obligation. This is not optional.
A building contractor enters into a contract with a customer to build a residential home.
Various goods and services are required throughout the construction process.
As is typical with construction projects, the various goods and services are subject to
significant integration such that the customer is in effect getting a single output and the
entire contract is viewed as one performance obligation.
Assume in this particular case, the builder is not completing all the required services
needed for the combined output to satisfy the customer on its own. The building
contractor sub-contracts out the electrical and plumbing work to an external, independent
contractor. Does contracting out some of the services change the assessment such that
the contract is no longer one performance obligation? Does the ability to sub-contract
services mean the services are distinct performance obligations?
In this case, although the electrical and plumbing services are being obtained elsewhere
(i.e., capable of being distinct), the building contractor is still providing a level of
integration as the nature of the promise is to produce a combined output (i.e., a
residential home). The sub-contracting of services would not result in a change in the
assessment of whether a good or service is distinct.
Therefore, as long as the entity remains a principal, engaging another party to transfer
some goods or services, does not change the identification of performance obligations.
Because the total contract consideration of P100/unit includes a fixed component (i.e.,
P80/unit) and a variable component (i.e., P20/unit), the variable component must be
assessed to determine the estimated value and whether this amount should be
constrained. Consider the following:
Contract Inception
Based on past history (that has predictive value) with this particular product and the
customer, the entity does not believe the customer will meet the target required for the
consideration to drop to P80/unit. The entity believes instead there is a high probability a
significant revenue reversal will not occur because the target expected purchases will not
exceed 75 units and therefore the entity expects to be entitled to consideration of
P100/unit rather than P80/unit. The entity records the total consideration amount of
P100/unit.
Revenue recognized should reflect the “cash selling price” of the particular good or
service at the time the good or service is transferred.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 44
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
However, entities may still encounter a situation in which both the above factors exist,
but nevertheless may conclude that a significant financing component does not exist. At
least one of the following factors must be present:
a. the customer paid for the goods or services in advance and the timing of the transfer
of those goods or services is at the discretion of the customer (for example, in the
telecom industry, when a customer purchases a prepaid phone card).
b. a substantial amount of the consideration promised by the customer is variable and
the amount or timing of that consideration varies on the basis of the occurrence or
non-occurrence of a future event that is not substantially within the control of the
customer (for example, if the consideration is a sales-based royalty).
c. the difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price of the
good or service arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the
customer or the entity, and the difference between those amounts is proportional to
the reason for the difference (for example, the payment terms might provide the
entity or the customer with protection from the other party failing to adequately
complete some or all of its obligations under the contract).
As a practical expedient, an entity need not adjust the transaction price in a contract for
the effects of a significant financing component, if the period between when the customer
pays for the good or service and when the entity transfers the good or service is one
year or less.
An entity enters into a contract with a customer to sell an asset. Control of the asset will
transfer to the customer in two years (i.e., the performance obligation will be satisfied at
a point in time). The contract includes two alternative payment options: payment of
P5,000 in two years when the customer obtains control of the asset or payment of
P4,000 when the contract is signed. The customer elects to pay P4,000 when the
contract is signed.
The entity concludes that the contract contains a significant financing component
because of the length of time between when the customer pays for the asset and when
the entity transfers the asset to the customer, as well as the prevailing interest rates in
the market.
The interest rate implicit in the transaction is 11.8%, which is the interest rate necessary
to make the two alternative payment options economically equivalent. However, the
entity determines that the rate that should be used in adjusting the promised
consideration is 6%, which is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 45
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
The following journal entries illustrate how to account for the significant financing
component:
1. Recognize a contract liability for the P4,000 payment received at contract inception:
Cash 4,000
Contract liability 4,000
2. During the two years from contract inception until the transfer of the asset, the entity
adjusts the promised amount of consideration (in accordance with paragraph 65 of
PFRS 15) and accretes the contract liability by recognizing interest on P4,000 at 6%
for two years:
Interest expense 494
Contract liability 494
*Interest Expense Year I = P4,000 × 6% = P240
*Interest Expense Year II = P4,240 × 6% = P254
Although there is effectively a delay between performance and payment (i.e., related to
the holdback), the delay is for reasons other than financing (i.e., the holdback is intended
to protect the builder from the engineering firm failing to complete its obligations under
the contract) and the amount of the holdback is proportionate to this intended reason.
Transaction price (at inception) should be allocated to all the performance obligations in
the contract in proportion to the stand-alone selling prices of each performance
obligation.
Suitable methods for estimating the stand-alone selling price include (but are not limited
to) the:
• adjusted market assessment approach
• expected cost-plus-a-margin approach and,
• in limited circumstances, the residual approach.
1. A retailer sells a customer a computer-and-printer package for P900. The retailer has
determined that these are two separate performance obligations and regularly sells
the printer for P300 and the computer for P700. In this case, the entity will allocate
the P900 total transaction price as follows:
• Printer: P270 = P900 × (P300 / (P300 + P700))
• Computer: P630 = P900 × (P700 / (P300 + P700))
2. On July 1, 20X1, Johnny enters into a 12-month telecom plan with the local mobile
operator ABC with terms:
• Johnny’s monthly fixed fee is P100.
• Johnny receives a free handset at the inception of the plan.
ABC sells the same handsets for P300 and the same monthly prepayment plans
w/out handset for P80/month.
Step 1: Identify the contract, which is the 12-month plan with Johnny.
Step 2: Identify all performance obligations from the contract with Johnny:
• Obligation to deliver a handset
• Obligation to deliver network services over 1 year
Step 3: The transaction price is P1,200, calculated as monthly fee of P100 x 12
months.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price:
PO SOP % Amount
Handset 300.00 23.80% 285.60
Network service 960.00 76.20% 914.40
Total 1,260.00 100.00% 1,200.00
Step 5: Recognize the revenue when ABC satisfies the performance obligations.
• When ABC gives a handset to Johnny, it needs to recognize the revenue
of P285.60;
• When ABC provides network services to Johnny, it needs to recognize the
total revenue of P914.40.
PFRS 15 is based on the “transfer of control” as opposed to the transfer of risks and
rewards.
Control - is the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining
benefits associated with the asset. However, control can also be an ability to prevent
other entities from directing the use of, and obtaining the benefits from, an asset.
1. Full Retrospective
• Any completed contracts that begin and end within the same annual reporting period
do not need to be restated. Assuming a calendar year-end entity, if a contract began
on January 15, 2018, and ended on November 30, 2018, it would not need to be
restated when the fiscal 2018 figures are being restated.
• For any completed contracts that included variable consideration, entities may use
the transaction price on the contract completion date rather than estimating variable
consideration amounts in the prior reporting periods. Effectively, this permits entities
to use hindsight in estimating variable consideration and should simplify transition
because it will reduce the amount of information required for transition and reduce
efforts by not requiring entities to determine the transaction price at the end of each
period.
• For all periods presented in the financial statements prior to the initial date of
application, the disclosures of the amount of total consideration allocated to
remaining performance obligations (and the required explanation of when it is
expected to be recognized) do not need to be included. Entities must apply the use of
practical expedients consistently to contracts with similar characteristics and in
similar circumstances.
2. Modified Retrospective - rather than restating the comparative year (e.g., fiscal 2018),
entities can recognize the cumulative effects of applying PFRS 15 as an adjustment to
opening retained earnings in the period of initial application (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a
calendar-year-end entity).
Presentation
Contract Asset is an entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services the
entity has transferred to a customer that is conditional on something other than the passage
of time (e.g., the performance of another obligation). If the right to this consideration is
unconditional and only the passage of time is required before the consideration is due, then
a receivable exists and a contract asset does not exist.
A customer’s right to a refund does not make such consideration conditional because future
refunds do not affect an entity’s present right to obtain consideration. Such obligations
should be treated as a separate refund liability.
Both receivables and contract assets are subject to credit risk; however, contract assets are
also subject to other types of risks, such as performance risk. Impairment losses relating to a
customer’s credit risk (i.e., impairment of a contract asset or receivable) are measured
based on the guidance in PFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 49
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
*Note: term “contract asset” does not necessarily need to be used and entities may change
the terminology.
Bad Debts are recognized as a result of customer credit risk. However, this is not a credit
risk existing at the inception of the contract and therefore is different from the evaluation of
credit risk completed at inception (i.e., collectability threshold assessed as part of Step 1 of
the PFRS 15 revenue model).
Impairment losses (which may include bad debts) should be recognized as an expense.
Gross revenue is not adjusted for these amounts since revenue should be recognized at the
amount at which the entity expects to be entitled (and not the amount it receives). This
amount should not be adjusted by amounts the entity was not able to collect.
Additionally, the portion of the impairment losses recognized that relate to short-term
receivables from contracts with customers (i.e., effectively bad debts) should be disclosed
separately in the financial statements notes (i.e., separate from other impairment losses),
since this provides users with information on receivables management (i.e., bad debts).
Disclosure
3. Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain or Fulfil a Contract with a Customer
• Judgments required to determine the amount of the costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a
contract with a customer
• Method used for amortization
• Closing balances of these assets by main category
• Amount of amortization and impairment (if any) recognized during the period
PROBLEMS
1. AAA Company entered into a contract with a private company on July 1, 2020. The
private company subscribes for a monthly plan for 12 months and in return, the private
company receives free handset. The private company will pay monthly fee of P1,600 and
it gets the handset immediately after signing the contract. AAA sells the same handset
for P4,800 and the same monthly plans for P1,280 without the handset.
2. BBB Company was organized in 2020. The firm entered into a contract with a private
company to do the following: bookkeeping activities, preparation of monthly and annual
financial statements and annual tax returns. The annual fee is P100,000 for bookkeeping
services, P5,000 for monthly reports and P50,000 for annual report and tax return.
3. CCC Company sells their air-conditioning units to various customers. In its contract with
Makati Hotel, Carrier Philippines promised to deliver 25 split-type air-conditioning units
for a total price of P800,000 by the end of 2020. The contract with Makati Hotel contains
a provision for free repairs and maintenance services within 2 years from the date of
purchase. All the 25 units were delivered and Makati Hotel paid P800,000.
4. On January 1, 2020, DDD Company entered into a contract with a customer to build an
item of specialized equipment for delivery on April 30, 2020. However, the exact delivery
date is hard to estimate. The amount of consideration specified in the contract is
P300,000, but the customer is willing to pay a higher price if delivered earlier (i.e.,
amount will be increased or decreased by P500 for each day, depending on whether the
actual delivery date is before or after April 30, 2020).

5. On November 10, 2020, EEE Company enters into a contract with a private company to
deliver 2 Dining Set, 2 Sofa and 5 Cabinets for a lumpsum price of P500,000. It is
stipulated in the contract that payment is made only upon delivery of all the orders,
though the items may be delivered in installment. The stand-alone prices of the items
are: Dining Set – P80,000 per set; Sofa – P100,000 per set; and Cabinet – 40,000 per
piece. On December 20, 2020, the following were delivered: 1 Dining Set, 1 Sofa and 3
Cabinets. The remaining items were delivered on January 15, 2021.

Consignment
Common Practices:
1. No revenue is recognized by the consignor until the goods are sold by the consignee to
outside or third parties.
2. Upon shipment of the merchandise to the consignee, a special inventory account is
established on the consignor’s books to identify the consigned merchandise.
3. Consignment expenses paid by the consignor are added to the inventory cost:
• Freight
• Insurance of the goods shipped
• Handling and cartage fee
*Sometimes, the consignee paid the above on behalf of the consignor (for
reimbursement).
4. Any reimbursable expenses paid by the consignee are considered selling expenses:
• Advertising costs
• Delivery and Installation
5. When a sale is made, the consignor recognizes the revenue only upon notification of
sale by the consignee accompanied by the remittance of the cash due supported by an
account sales.
6. Commission on units sold is also treated as deduction from sales revenue in determining
the net income from the shipment.

2. BBB Company consigned 1,000 units of ordinary printer, costing P700 each, to SM
Company to be sold at P1,200 per unit. The agreement calls for 20% commission on
units sold and any expenses paid by SM Company is reimbursable by the consignor.
The consignor paid P25,000 freight and insurance of P10,000 for the shipment. At the
end of the month, SM Company reported that 190 units are still on hand. It remitted
P743,000 after deducting commission of P192,000 and advertising cost of P25,000.
3. CCC Company shipped 150 oven costing P9,000 each on consignment basis to SM
Aura to be sold at P15,000 each. The consignee is to be allowed a commission of 15%.
CCC incurred P15,000 in shipping the 150 units. The agreement requires that SM Aura
will advance 50% of the cost of the oven, to be applied to periodic remittances in
proportion to the units sold. Any expenses related to the consigned units incurred by SM
Aura are also deductible from the remittance. On October 31, SM Aura rendered an
account sale that includes the following deductions:
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 54

The consignee sold 80 sets for cash; expenses of delivery and installation were P20,000.
After notifying the consignor with the total sets sold for the period, the consignee
returned 10 sets and paid corresponding freight charges of P5,000 on the return.
5. EEE Company consigned 2,000 units of digital camera, costing P800 each to SM
Megamall to be sold at P1,500 per unit. The agreement calls for 15% commission on
units sold and any expenses paid by the consignee is reimbursable by the consignor.
EEE paid P40,000 freight and insurance of P20,000 for the shipment. At the end of the
month, SM remitted the amount due to the consignor after deducting commission of
P360,000 and advertising costs of P50,000. Record shows that 250 units were left to the
consignee and some units were returned to the consignor. SM paid the cost of shipment
of the returned units amounting to P20,000.
Learning Objectives
Types of Sale
Installment Sales
In installment sales, the cash inflow is deferred. The general provision of PAS 18 provides
that revenue shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable. Revenue shall be recognized when all of the following conditions have been
satisfied:
1. The entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods.
2. The entity retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually
associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold.
3. The amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
4. It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the
entity.
5. The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured
reliably.
When the cash inflow is deferred, the fair value of the consideration is determined by
discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest. The difference between the
fair value and the nominal amount of the consideration is recognized as interest revenue.

When a customer fails to make any further payment, the seller repossesses the
merchandise or property sold. The repossessed merchandise is recorded at its market value
(Net Realizable Value) or its unrecovered cost whichever is lower. Net Realizable Value is
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the sum of estimated costs
of reconditioning, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and normal profit. The net
realizable value is then compared with the unrecovered cost to determine the gain or loss on
repossession:
• If NRV of the merchandise is equal to its unrecovered cost, no gain or loss on
repossession.
• If NRV is less than its unrecovered cost, there is a loss on repossession.
• If NRV is greater than unrecovered cost, there is a gain on repossession, but the gain
is deferred until the merchandise is sold. In this case, the repossessed item is recorded
at its unrecovered cost.

Trade In
Sometimes, companies accept second-hand item as initial payment for the item sold and this
is measured at its Net Realizable Value (NRV). Net Realizable Value is the estimated selling
price in the ordinary course of business less reconditioning cost, cost to sell and normal
profit. An allowance is normally allowed on the trade in item and this amount is compared
with its net realizable value to arrive at over allowance or under allowance on trade in.
• If NRV is equal to allowance on trade in, there is no over or under allowance on trade
in.
• If NRV is greater than the allowance on trade in, there is under allowance. Under
allowance on trade in is treated as addition to installment sales.
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 57
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
• If NRV is less than the allowance in trade in, there is over allowance. Over allowance
on trade in is treated as deduction from installment sales.
*The over or under allowance is adjusted to the original sales price to arrive at adjusted
sales.

PROBLEMS
1. On January 1, 2020, AAA Company sold a luxury car costing P1,080,000 for an
installment price of P2,200,000 collectible as follows: 20% down payment, the balance is
payable in 5 equal annual installments of P352,000 starting December 31, 2018 and the
imputed rate of interest is 10%.
3. On March 2, 2020, CCC Company sold Innova car costing P576,000 for P960,000. In
2020, a total of P130,000 is collected on the contract of which P30,000 represents
finance charges. After making religious payments, the customer defaulted and the
vehicle was repossessed. CCC estimated that the market value of the repossessed
vehicle is 80% of its unrecovered cost.
4. DDD Company sold vehicles on installment basis. On October 1, 2020, Kia Model
costing P747,600 was sold for P1,236,000 on installment basis. A cash down payment of
P216,000 was made. In addition to the cash down payment, a Ford Model was accepted
with trade in value of P300,000 and balance is payable in 12 monthly installments
amounting to P78,000 due starting at the end of October. The Ford Model has an
estimated selling price of P 400,000 after reconditioning the same for P50,000. The
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 58

normal gross profit, to be considered in the fair value computation, is 10%. DDD already
adapted PFRS 15 in recognizing revenue. The market rate of interest is 12%.
5. EEE Company sells new automobiles. A new Escapade costing P700,000 was sold on
October 1, 2020 for P1,060,000. A used Toyota Revo was accepted as down payment
and an allowance of P300,000 was accepted on the trade in. The balance is payable in
36 equal monthly installments of P25,500 starting November 1, 2020. The interest rate is
10%. EEE anticipates selling price on reconditioned automobile of P350,000 after
reconditioning it for P50,000. Selling costs equal to 5% of selling price is also anticipated.
The gross profit for reconditioned automobile is expected to be 20%.

Franchising
It refers to the method of practicing and using another's perfected business concept. In a
franchise relationship, the franchisee is granted the right to market a product or a service

Repossession of Franchise
If the franchisor repossesses its franchise, it may or may not refund the consideration
previously paid by the franchisee. If the franchise fee is refunded, the accounting treatment
is equivalent to a cancellation of sales. The revenue previously recognized is reported as a
reduction of the revenue of the current period in which the franchise is reacquired.
If the franchise fee is not refunded, no adjustment is recorded. However, if a balance is still
owed by the franchisee, the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts related to the transaction
should be reviewed. In addition, any deferred revenue on the original sale should now be
recognized in full.
PROBLEMS
2. Use the same information in Problem 1. Determine the revenue to be recognized and the
entries to record the transactions assuming:
a. The probability of refunding the initial franchise fee is extremely low, the amount of
future services to be rendered to the franchisee is minimal, collectivity of the note is
reasonably assured and substantial performance has occurred.
b. The initial down payment is not refundable and represents a fair measure of the
services already provided, with a significant amount of services still to be performed
by the franchisor in future periods and the collectivity of the note is reasonably
assured.
c. The initial down payment is not refundable and no future services are required by the
franchisor, but collection of the note is uncertain.

Learning Objectives
The main issue in accounting for long-term construction contracts is the timing of recognition
of revenue, the related costs of revenue and gross profit.
Terms to Remember
1. Contract Revenue – is the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and
variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments.
2. Contract Costs – are costs incurred in the construction of the project such as:
• Site labor costs including site supervision
• Cost of materials used in construction
• Depreciation of plant and equipment used on the contract
• Cost of moving plant, equipment and materials to and from the contract site
• Cost of hiring plant and equipment
• Cost of design and technical assistance that is directly related to the contract
• Estimated cost of rectification and guarantee work including expected warranty costs
• Claims from third parties
• Insurance (allocated)
COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTANCY AND FINANCE Page 64
ACCO 30013 – Accounting for Special Transactions
• Cost of design and technical assistance that is not directly related to the contract
(allocated)
• Construction overheads such as cost of preparing and processing construction
personnel payroll (allocated)
• Other costs specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract
3. Contact Price – is the price agreed upon between the contractor and the customer for
the conduction of a specific project.
4. Cost Incurred to Date – is the cumulative cost of construction incurred by the contractor
from the time the project started up to a particular date.
5. Estimated Costs to Complete – it is the additional cost of construction reasonably
expected to be incurred to complete the project.
6. Total Estimated Cost (Cost at Completion) – it is the sum of the costs incurred to date
and the estimated costs to complete.
7. Total Estimated Gross Profit – it is the excess of the contract price over the total
estimated cost.
8. Total Estimated (Anticipated) Loss – it the excess of the total estimated costs over the
contract price.
9. Mobilization Fee – are indirect costs of construction that includes all costs associated in
relocating manpower to the project site, transporting tools and equipment, establishment
of offices, etc.
10. Retention Fee – it is the amount withheld by the customer as a security until the
completion of the project. It is based on the work completed usually ranging from 5% to
10%.
Important Notes:
1. Under the cost-to-cost method, construction revenue, construction cost and income are
recognized as follows:
• Construction Revenue = Contract Price x Percentage of Completion
• Construction Cost = Actual Costs Incurred during the year
• Income = Construction Revenue – Construction Cost
2. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue
should be recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that is probable will be
recoverable. Hence, no profit is to be recognized.
3. When it is probable that the contract costs will exceed total contract revenue (anticipated
loss), the expected loss should be recognized immediately.

PROBLEMS
1. AAA Company has a contract to build a building. The initial amount of revenue agreed in
the contract is P9,000,000. The contractor’s initial estimate of contract costs is
P8,000,000. It will take 3 years to build the building. By the end of year 1, the
contractor’s estimate of contract costs has increased to P8,050,000.
2. BBB Company entered into a contract with Hometown Hospital on July 1, 2018 to
construct a four-storey hospital. At that time, BBB estimated that it would take 3-4 years
to complete the project. The total contract is P25,000,000. In 2018, the outcome of the
project cannot be estimated reliably but in 2019, BBB was already certain the project is
estimated to cost P20,000,000. The building was substantially completed in 2020.
Contract costs incurred, estimated costs to complete and progress billings were as
follows:

3. CCC Company began operations on January 1, 2019. During the year, Andrei entered
into a contract with DDD Company to construct a manufacturing facility. At that time,
CCC estimated that it would take 3 years to complete the facility at a total cost of
P4,500,000. The total contract price is P6,300,000. In 2019, CCC incurred P1,185,800 in
construction costs and estimated that P4,204,200 more will be needed for its completion.
DDD Company was billed and paid 30% of the contract price.
The following year, CCC incurred P3,299,200 and the engineer’s estimate of cost to
complete is P2,500,000. It is expected that the project will be completed this year.
4. EEE Company has the following data for the year just ended:
Costs to Date – P9,800,000
Estimated Cost at Completion – P12,250,000
Contract Price – P17,500,000
The company accounts for its large jobs by the percentage of completion method.
Billings are done as follows:
• 20% down payment upon contract signing as mobilization fee
• Amount billed to client is according to percentage of completion
• 10% retention fee deductible at the last billing
• Miscellaneous expenses incurred by brokers and sales agents in pre-selling the units
– P1,500,000
• Total estimated costs at completion – P48,000,000
