IFRS 15_Accounting for refunds

SSon8y ago
Hello Sir, I have a question about IFRS 15 and want to ask you. Below is the question: Nardone enters into 50 contracts with customers. Each contract includes the sale of one product for $1,000. The cost to Nardone of each product is $400. Cash is received upfront and control of the product transfers on delivery. Customers can return the product within 30 days to receive a full refund. Nardone can sell the returned products at a profit. Nardone has significant experience in estimating returns for this product. It estimates that 48 products will not be returned. Required: How should the above transaction be accounted for? Here is my answer: 1) Dr. Asset (right to recover products) 400x2=800 Dr. Cost of sales 400x48=19,200 Cr. Inventory 20,000 2) Dr. Cash 50,000 Cr. revenue 48,000 Cr.Refund liability 2,000 I want to ask you when the customer returns 2 products within 30 days, whether below entries are correct: 3) Dr. Inventory 2x400 = 800 Cr. Asset (right to recover product) 800 4) Dr. Refund liability 2,000 Cr. Cash 2,000
