    A vendor (a construction company) enters into a contract with a customer to supply a new building. Control over the completed building will pass to the customer in two years time (the vendor’s performance obligation will be satisfied at a point in time). The contract contains two payment options. Either the customer can pay CU 5 million in two years time when it obtains control of the building, or the customer can pay CU 4 million on inception of the contract. The customer decides to pay CU 4 million on inception.
    The vendor concludes that because of the significant period of time between the date of payment by the customer and the transfer of the asset (the completed building) to the customer, together with the effect of prevailing market rates of interest, that there is a significant financing component.The interest rate implicit in the transaction is 11.8%. However, because the vendor is effectively borrowing from its customer, the vendor is also required to consider its own incremental borrowing rate which is determined to be 6%.

    The accounting entries required are as follows:
    Contract inception:
    CU ‘000 CU ‘000
    Cash 4,000
    Contract liability 4,000
    Recognition of a contract liability for the payment in advance

    Over the two year construction period:
    Interest expense 494
    Contract liability 494
    Accretion of the contract liability at a rate of 6%

    At the date of transfer of the asset (the building) to the customer:
    Contract liability 4,494
    Revenue 4,494

    Could you please show me the working on how to work out the interest expenses of 494?

    6% x 4,000 = 240

    So at end of year one there is effective borrowing of 4,240

    6% x 4,240 = 254.4

    So at end of year two there is effective borrowing of 4,940

    (4,240 = 4,000 + 240)
    (4,940 = 4,240 + 254)

    Ok?

    Hi,

    Understood from above,, it’s interest expense because “vendor is effectively borrowing from its customer”. Buy why is vendor borrowing from its customer in this case?

    The key is in the word effectively, in that they aren’t actually doing so but by looking at the substance of the transaction it looks like the are borrowing the money.

    Thanks
