In july 2002, there was a Grant of CU 10 000 to cover the expenses for ecological measures during 20X2 – 20X5. ABC assumes to spend CU 3 000 in 20X2-20X4 and CU 2 000 in 20X5 (CU 14 000 in total).

sir do we have to capitalize the grant 10000 in SOFP? I could not get how to account this amount in financial statements..

How do you get to $14,000? (3 x $3,000) + (1 x $2,000) does not come to $14,000!

I would credit $10,000 to a deferred income account and then spread over the next four years on a pro-rata basis

We may need to – it depends upon any conditions applicable to the grant award. It may be that it’s unconditional or it may be that we need to continue to satisfy the grant conditions and, if we don’t, we need to repay the grant
