IAS 18 revenu

Jjosy8711y ago
Sir please I need help with this Repro, a company which sells photocopying equipment, has prepared its draft financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2014. It has included the following transactions in revenue at the stated amounts below. Which of these has been correctly included in revenue according to IAS 18 Revenue? A Agency sales of $250,000 on which Repro is entitled to a commission B Sale proceeds of $20,000 for motor vehicles which were no longer required by Repro C Sales of $150,000 on 30 September 2014. The amount invoiced to and received from the customer was $180,000, which includes $30,000 for ongoing servicing work to be done by Repro over the next two years D Sales of $200,000 on 1 October 2013 to an established customer which (with the agreement of Repro) will be paid in full on 30 September 2015. Repro has a cost of capital of 10% I was confused between B and C. but the answer is C. i still dont understand why B is not possible

IAS 11 Construction Contracts has gone along with IAS 18 Revenue and both have been replaced by IFRS 15. I believe that there is a chapter on IFRS 15 in the free course notes! It should be the final chapter in the notes, just before the mini exercises (that you MUST do!) Ok?

Sir wont it be better to buy another bpp kit, from september 2015 maybe
Jjosy8711y ago#5
Sir for the mini exercise concerning the revenue is it for IAS 18 or IFRS 15
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor11y ago#6
I don't believe that the mini exercises will change as a result of IAS 18 being withdrawn. Read the chapter in the course notes and see what you think Meanwhile, I'll answer your original post under IFRS 15 - but it will be on a separate page / post

In answer to your original post : A) is separately shown under commission income or sundry income. It's not revenue gained from ordinary trading activities B) the disposal of an asset gives rise to an item within the statement of profit or loss called "profit (or loss) on asset disposal." The revenue is not shown gross less book value of the asset. It is shown as the net result of the disposal D) $200,000 receivable in 2 years' time needs to be discounted for two years using the company's cost of capital of 10%. The figure to include in revenue would therefore be $165,289 C) IFRS 15 caters specifically for this situation. Where revenue is made up of a combination of immediate delivery and an on-going obligation to, for example, service and maintain the asset that you sold, the revenue earned through servicing should be deferred and reflected in the separate years in which the servicing takes place (and therefore the separate years in which that particular element of revenue is earned) Clearer now?

hi Sir I read the chapter. there are some mini exercise about revenu after. I just wanted to know if it is IFRS 15 to practise
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor11y ago#10
Yes, you should be ok - I think that they are all IFRS15 compliant (from memory)
Jjosy8711y ago#11

MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor11y ago#12

Hi Mike, I have a confusion most of the people are saying about IAS 18 I have a recent text book from Kaplan which has IFRS 15 which covers Revenue recognition from contracts with customer as I have not finished all the IAS's Is there any difference between the previous IAS 18 (which you mentioned will not be examinable fromSeptember onwards) and the IFRS 15. Please reply.. Also I'm stuck at a question about revenue recognition Which I will copy here. Q: On 1st jan 20x1 castle enter into a contract with a customer to construct a specialised building for consideration of $10 m. Castle is not able to use the building themselves at any point during the construction. At 31st dec 20x 1, castle has incurred cost of 6 m cost to complete are $2 m. Castle decide to measure the progress towards completion based on cost incurred. To date castle has received $3m from the customer. Requirement: how should this transaction be accounted for in the year ended Dec 31. The book has given to follow 4 steps approach. First to calculate the overall profit: Price Less: cost to date Less: cost to complete Overall Profit or loss I'm having a profit of 2m as my answer to step 1 but the book as taken $6 as cost to date as well as cost to complete and reported an overall loss of $2m . Could you kindly rectify my confusion Also in the second step of measuring progress:? Which is measured by input method of Cost to date compared to total cost has taken $6m/12m why. I think it should be $6m/ 10m.. Could you kindly explain Thanks Noureen

First of all, there really is no need to write plaintively "Please reply" When you post a question on the Ask the Tutor page, you WILL get a reply and we set our own target of two days although it's invariably much less time than two days Now, your question. There's more in IFRS 15 than there was in IAS 18 but for F7 there's not a lot of difference. Equally, IAS 11 is pretty much the same as is now included within IFRS 15 so far as F7 is concerned Now the example - I'm flummoxed! I would have said $2 million overall profit and 75% costs incurred. I can only suggest that you check that you have read the question correctly
Jjosy8711y ago#15
Sir please is the answer. the percentage of completion is 60% or 75%, why the profit recognised is 2000 , isn;t it 1200 if 60% or 1500 if 75%
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor11y ago#16
I'm 75% complete (6 out of 8) and $2m profit x 75% recognised of $1,500 Has Noureen contacted Kaplan? Or checked that the above post has been typed correctly?
NNoureen11y ago#17
Hi mike, Sorry for the late reply. But the question I have typed above is word by word in the text book could you kindly give your solution of the above question. Thanks Noureen
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor11y ago#18
Hi I DID answer the question! 75% complete and $1,500 profit recognised See my post immediately before Noureen's post just above this one

Hi Sir IAS 18 Revenue has been replaced by IFRS15, does it mean the article regarding Revenue IAS18 is irrelevant? I'm confused as this article has only been updated on 17 August 2015?
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor10y ago#20
There's an up-to-date article in Student Accountant specifically on IFRS 15. That's the one you need to be reading!
