      This thread is headed Example 3. Now you’re asking about example 4!

      How do I arrive at a loss?

      Is it not simply “contract value minus total costs of the contract both those already incurred and those that are still to be incurred”?

    Hi
    I want to ask that the calculation part is done, but what about the posting of these amounts?
    Where we have to post the answers we have calculated?
    And this will be come in Trial Balance under notes?

    Thanks

      You’re not going to have to post any entries

      What you will possibly need to do is add the figures calculated for revenue recognised and cost of sales recognised into the statement of profit or loss and adjust receivables (and, if appropriate, payables) for amounts due from customers

    Dear Sir,

    If we had expected the loss by forecasting future cost against revenue. In practical, how does this “balancing “cost figure should be shown in statement of profit loss? such as journal etc.

    Thank you

    Regards,

    Hi, I cannot find the lecture for Chapter 14- IAS 36. The website takes me to chapter 15 right after chapter 13.

      Why have you posted this twice? There really is no need 馃檨

      If you want a reply from me, then post on the ask the tutor page

      If you want a reply from the general populace, then post in the general forum

      But, please, do not post in both places

        I’m sorry 馃檪 I wasn’t sure where I’ll get the answer from.
        Thank you.

        You’ll always get an answer if you post on Ask the Tutor

        You may never get an answer if you post on the general forum – most do, but there’s no guarantee

    Hello Sir
    I don’t understand why in example, cost is (300 000 + 250 000) * 65%= 357 500
    I dont understand why is 375 000 instead.

        Had the same concern! Total cost for contract (estimated) 300+250>500 (revenue). So we already now that there is a loss of 50K.
        Therefore (375) is a balancing figure.

    Good morning Sir,

    i am really struggling to understand how you got to your figures within Exampe 5… Mainly the costs in year two of 拢750,000. Am i missing something?

    Many thanks, Chris.

      Yes, you certainly are missing something but, before I answer you, I want to raise two points:

      1 – this really would be better addressed to me on the ask the tutor page because I rarely look at the recent post section

      2 – have you looked at previous comments under this lecture?

      Please look at previous posts and, if you’re still stuck, post again

        “show it separately for AR” – that says it all!
