ACTIVITY 1:
Solutions:
Requirement (b):
The promises to transfer the lot, to provide the house design and
to construct the house are treated as a single performance
obligation because the promised goods and services are not
individually distinct. That is, the customer:
a. cannot benefit from the goods and services individually
(Entity X does not regularly sell lots, house designs, and
construction services separately); and
b. the goods and services are not individually separable (each good
and service is an input to a combined output, which is the
house and lot, including the house design. These are highly
interrelated – the customer cannot purchase one without
necessarily purchasing the others).
Requirement (c):
The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time because
it does not meet any of the criteria to be satisfied over time.
P a g e | 19
c. The entity’s performance does Criterion (c) is not met because of the
not create an asset with an following reasons:
alternative use to the entity and a. Entity X’s performance creates
the entity has an enforceable right an asset with an alternative use.
to payment for performance This is evidenced by the fact that
completed to date. Entity X can resell forfeited
properties without much
modification because the design
is standard.
b. Entity X’s right to payment is
not directly correlated with
performance completed to date,
i.e., the monthly payments are
due irrespective of the stage of
completion of the house.
P a g e | 20
❖ Significant financing
Since the installment payments are due within 1 year, Entity X
may choose not to discount the payments under the practical
expedient allowed under PFRS 15. However, Entity X is not
precluded under PFRS 15 from the nonetheless discounting the
payments if it chooses to do so.
Requirement (e):
The transaction price is allocated entirely to the single
performance obligation of transferring the lot together with the
house design and the house.
Requirement (f):
Entity X recognizes revenue when control over the property
(house and lot) is transferred to the customer.

Solutions:

❖ Significant financing
There is no significant financing component in the contract
because the payments are due within 2 weeks after billing.
P a g e | 23
Requirement (d):
The transaction price is allocated entirely to the single
performance obligation of completing the construction of the
house in accordance with the agreed specifications.
Requirement (e):
Entity Y recognizes revenue over the construction period based on
the measure of its progress towards the complete satisfaction of
the performance obligation. This requires Entity Y to determine an
appropriate method for measuring its progress. Because of
insufficient information given in the problem, the appropriate
measure of progress is presumed to be the “cost-to-cost” method
(an application of the inputs method).

4. B The goods and services are not distinct because they are not
separately identifiable from each other. This is evidenced by

contracted.

Requirement (a):
20x1 20x2 20x3
Revenue (a) 3,150,000 2,530,000 4,320,000
Contract costs incurred per yr.(b) (3,150,000) (2,530,000) (1,440,000)
Gross profit for the year - - 2,880,000
(a)Revenues in 20x1 and 20x2 are equal to the costs incurred during those
years. Revenue in 20x3 is equal to the contract price less the revenues
recognized in 20x1 and 20x2 (10M – 3.15M – 2.53M = 4.32M).

14. Solution:
The contract is analyzed as follows:
20x1 20x2 20x3
Contract price 8,000,000 8,000,000 8,000,000
Costs incurred to date (a) 2,850,000 6,520,000 8,120,000
Estimated costs to complete 4,275,000 1,630,000 -
Estimated total contract costs 7,125,000 8,150,000 8,120,000
Expected profit (loss) 875,000 (150,000) (120,000)
(a) 20x1:
2,850,000
20x2: (2.85M + 3.67M) = 6,520,000
20x3: (2.85M + 3.67M + 1.6M) = 8,120,000
P a g e | 35
(b) 2.85M costs incurred in 20x1 ÷ 7.125M estimated total contract costs = 40% complete
(c) 6.52M costs incurred to date in 20x2 ÷ 8.15M estimated total contract costs in 20x2 =
80% complete

(1) The bonus is included in the transaction price only in 20x2 when it became highly
probable that Zevrek Co. will receive the bonus. The transaction price in 20x2 is
computed as (6M contract price + 500,000 bonus = 6,500,000).
The costs incurred to date in 20x2 is computed as (1.35M costs in 20x1 + 2.26M costs
(2)
in 20x2) = 3.61M.
16. Solution:
20x1 20x2
Total contract price 10,000,000 10,000,000
Estimated total contract costs (6,000,000) (6,000,000)
Expected total profit from construction 4,000,000 4,000,000
Multiply by: % of completion 42% 80%
Gross profit to date 1,680,000 3,200,000
Gross profit recognized in prior years - (1,680,000)
Gross profit for the year 1,680,000 1,520,000
20x1 20x2
Total contract price 10,000,000 10,000,000
Multiply by: % of completion 42% 80%
Revenue to date 4,200,000 8,000,000
Revenue in prior years - (4,200,000)
Revenue 4,200,000 3,800,000
Cost of construction (squeeze) (2,520,000) (2,280,000)
Gross profit for the year (see above) 1,680,000 1,520,000
Impairment loss on receivable (4% x 10M) (400,000)
Profit for the year 1,680,000 1,120,000

Notes:
Unlike the cost-to-cost method, under the output method, the cost of
construction is not equal to the actual costs incurred in that period.
If the uncertainty in the collectability of contract revenue arises
subsequent to contract inception, the uncollectability is accounted for as
impairment of receivable and/or contract asset.
