If a grant becomes repayable, it should be treated as a change in estimate. Where the original grant
related to income, the repayment should be applied first against any related unamortized deferred credit,
and any excess should be dealt with as an expense. Where the original grant related to an asset, the
repayment should be treated as increasing the carrying amount of the asset or reducing the deferred
income balance. The cumulative depreciation which would have been charged had the grant not been
received should be charged as an expense. [IAS 20.32]
NOTE:
This is the same problem given in the Practice Set-Problems (No. 27). I previously made a note in the Practice Set
that there is a correction with the suggested answer for this item that the answer should be P312,500, not P365,000.
And now, I am correcting my previous correction after I tried to solve again this problem and search for the specific
part of PAS 20 which gives the exact guideline for the repayment of grant related to asset initially recognized as a
reduction in cost. The correct answer for this item should be P365,000. I sincerely apologize for this mistake and will
make the appropriate adjustment in the Quiz 4.
