My question is : how should be treated unearned revenue when recognition as revenue is to be in 3 years, for example ? whether time value of money should be ignored or not?
Revenue received not earned should be treated as a liability(deferred income) and recognised over the period in a way which
reflects how its earned eg.straight line method. For a period of 3 yrs, time value would be material so discounting would apply.
I think exam question will give you instructions whether time value for money is needed to be applied.
See as an example December’12 exam (I think it is question #2).
