Significant financing component - IFRS15

VVu6y ago
Dear Sir, could you please explain how to record the significant financing component for this example: On 31 December 20X7, Lansdale sold Product X to a customer for $12,100 payable 24 months after delivery. The customer obtained control of the product at contract inception. However, the contract permits the customer to return the product within 90 days. The product is new and the Company has no relevant historical evidence of product returns or other available market evidence. The cash selling price of Product X is $10,000, which represents the amount that the customer would pay upon the delivery of the same product sold under otherwise identical terms and conditions as at contract inception. The cost of the product to the Company is $8000. The answer states that the contract also includes a <b>significant financing component</b> since there is a difference between the amount of the promised consideration of $12,100 and the cash selling price of $10,000 at the the date of goods transferred. So I understand the corresponding accounting entries would be: Dr. Receivable: 1,100 Cr. Contract liabilities 1,100 Dr. Interest: 1,100 * 6% (assumed the interest rate is 6%) Cr. Contract liabilities: 1,100*6% .for 21 months At the end of 21 months, we transfer contract liabilities to record revenue? Dr. Cash: 1,100 Cr. Receivable:1,100 Dr. Revenue: 1,100 Cr. Contract Liabilities: 1,100 Do I understand correctly?

Sorry I correct my understand as below: So I understand the corresponding accounting entries would be: We must discount 1,100 difference to present value and record interest revenue and contract liability. At the end of the period (after 21 months), the carrying amount of contract liabilities would be 1,100 and we will have the entry: Dr. Contract liability/Cr. Revenue: 1,100. Please advise if my understanding is correct.

Much too complicated 90 days after delivery: Dr Receivable10,000 Cr Revenue 10,000 Over next 21 months, finance income will accrue Dr Receivable 2100 Cr Finance income 2100
