Hope all is well Sir.
Could you help with this, how do we account ??
Rain Co sells goods amounting to $ 2.5 m on a consignment basis to Gain Co. During the year, Gain co sold goods amounting to $ 1.5m to dealers.
Journalize.
Case 1: In consignor’s Books
Case 2: In consignee’s booksApril 20, 2015 at 3:26 pm #241933As per Revenue Standard IAS 18
April 20, 2015 at 4:39 pm #241942When the $2.5m go to the consignee, are these at invoice value or at cost to the consignor?
And when the consignee sells them, is $1.5m the amount received by the consignee or does the consignee add a further element of profit?
Let’s go with these assumptions – the $2.5m is the normal selling price to the outside World and the consignee is therefore effectively merely a stockholder / agent waiting to move goods on on behalf of the consignor.
So the $1.5m is simply 60% of the goods received from consignor
Now, next point – you will not be asked to show the accounting entries for consignment sales – neither for the consignor nor for the consignee!
The only thing that you need to know for F7 (and for P2 too) is that goods sent on consignment are not to be classed as revenue until the consignee contacts the consignor and says “You know those goods you sent me? I’ve sold 60% of them for $1.5m :-). What do you want me to do?”
The consignor says “Send me the money and try to sell the rest”
Dr Consignee 1.5m
Cr Revenue 1.5mProfit will be affected because the profit element in the remaining 1m is unrealised (if the goods we sent to the consignee inclusive of a profit element) so closing inventory needs to include that 1m but at cost value rather than at invoice value
Is that ok for you?
April 20, 2015 at 5:04 pm #241952Thanks i got you. I was trying to dig too deep .
Sorry
Another question, is the profit from the sale of non current assets, a revenue ??Thanks in advance
April 20, 2015 at 8:58 pm #241974No, not revenue. It’s shown separately in the body of the statement of profit or loss
April 25, 2015 at 7:43 am #242534Sir,
Could you help below questions1. Dividends received, interest received and royalties, are they part of revenue item in SOPL or other income ??
2. Under operating lease, minimum lease payments are they part of revenue or other income ?? In the books of lessor
3. Under finance lease, in the books of lessor- We start by derecognize the leased asset and then recognize at the lower of PV of min lease payments or Fair value. My question is, what if the amount we recognized is different from the carrying amount of an asset, Where do we account the difference ?? Eg Asset has carrying amount of $ 1.5m and the present value of min lease payments is $ 1.2m Or 1.6m
4. What is logic behind of recognize at the lower of Fair value and Pv of min lease payments ?
April 25, 2015 at 7:50 am #2425371 – all other income
2 – if leasing is the main business of the lessor, then revenue. If leasing is incidental to the main business, then other income
3 – impair by .3 and probably not revalue by .1
4 – ask the IASB !!!
Lessor accounting is not in the F7 syllabus!
April 25, 2015 at 8:06 am #242539I got you Sir.

April 26, 2015 at 2:09 pm #242795Sir, again
SorryHow do we present Deferred credit income in SOFP ? Are we going to separate into Non current and current liability ?
Also, are Non current assets held for sale, remaining in Non current heading in SOFP ??
Thanks
April 26, 2015 at 2:22 pm #242798Yes, split into current and non-current
Current assets for the AHFS
