Introduction PERS 15 provides the principles in reporting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from aa entity’s contracts with customers. > Income - “is increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity Participants.” (Conceptual Framework) Income encompasses boli revenue and gains. 7 > Revenue - is income arising in the course of an entity's ordinary activities. PERS 15 applies to contracts wherein the counterparty is? customer. 4 * Contract - “an agreement between two or more parties thi i creates enforceable rights and obligations.” (PFRS ws Appendix) A contract can be written, oral, or implied by an ent! 4 customary business Practice, itenoie | | | revel from Contracts with Customers 93 ae Customer ~ is “a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity's ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.” (PERS ssAppendix A) , A counterparty to a contract is not a customer if he agrees articipate in the entity's activities wherein he shares the ad risks and benefits (eg, co-developing an asset) rather than ‘nthe output of the entity’s ordinary activities. PERS 15 applies to individual contracts with customers, sowever, a8 practical expedient, PFRS 15 may also be applied to group of similar contracts; provided, the effects on the financial statements would not differ materially when PFRS 15 is applied tely to each of the contracts within that group. PERS 15 does not apply to the following: Lease contracts (PFRS 16 Leases); Insurance contracts (PFRS 17 Insurance Contracts); Financial instruments; and Non-monetary exchanges. between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers. For example, PFRS 15 is not applicable to a contract between two oil companies that agree to exchange oil to fulfill customer demands in different locations on a timely basis. related | to oblall separal Boge Core principle An entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue recognition Anentity applies the following steps when recognizing revenue: Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract ———_ ee 4 3 Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity rt performance obligation ify the contract with the customer 4: Identi : Step a customer is accounted for only when all of 4 A contract with 7 following criteria The epntracting parties have approved the contract (in writin x impliedly from customary business practices) an, dan committed to perform their respective obligations; re b. The entity can identify each party's rights regarding the 004 or services to be transferred; s c. The entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred; ad. The contract has commercial substance (i.e., the risk, timing o, amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change asa result of the contract); and e. The consideration in the contract is probable of collection, When assessing collectability, the entity considers only the customer's ability and intention to pay the consideration on due date. (PERS 15.9) are met: a. orally No revenue is recognized on a contract that does not meet the criteria above. Any consideration received from such contract is recognized as a liability and recognized as revenue only when either of the following has occurred: a. “The entity has no remaining obligation to transfer goods or services to the customer and all, or substantially all, of the consideration has been received and is non-refundable; or b. The contract has been terminated and the consideration received is non-refundable.” (PFRS 15.15) The entity need not reassess the criteria above if they hav? been met on contract inception unless there is an indication of # significant change in facts and circumstances, for example, when the customer's ability to pa * a rerjorates bs tly deterio? significantly. Pay subsequently Revenue from Contracts with Cust 95, If the criteria are not met on contract inception, the entity shall continue to assess the contract to determine if the criteria are subsequently met. PFRS 15 is applied over the duration of the contract (i.e., the contractual period) in which the contracting parties have present enforceable rights and obligations. A contract does not exist if each contracting party has the unilateral enforceable right to terminate a wholly unperformed contract without compensating the other party. A contract is wholly unperformed if the entity has not yet transferred any promised good or service to the customer and has not yet received or not yet entitled to receive any consideration. Combination of contracts Two or more contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same customer (or related parties of the customer) are combined and accounted for as a single contract if: a. The contracts are negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective; b. The amount of consideration to be paid in one contract depends on the price or performance of the other contract; or c. Some or all of the goods or services promised in the contracts are a single performance obligation. (PFRS 15.17) Illustration: Identifying the contract with the customer ABC Co. sells industrial printing equipment to a customer for P5,000,000. The customer pays a P 1,000,000 nonrefundable deposit and issues a long-term note for the balance. The customer obtains control of the equipment at contract inception. Additional information: * The customer intends to open a publishing business. The equipment acquired from ABC Co. will be the main asset of the business. The business is located in an area where the market for publishing businesses is overly congested. The customer will need to compete with large and long-time 7 w established companies to geta market share and the ee has little experience in the publishing industry. Mey «The customer intends to repay the loan primarily from in derived from the publishing business. The custome, hag other significant source of income that can be useq ti Ny the loan, © repay hi : «The financing arrange ment is on a Non-recourse basis, Analysis: ‘ . The customer's ability and intention to pay the balance of the consideration is in doubt because of the following reasons; The customer intends to pay the balance of the consideration (which is significant) primarily from income derived from the publishing business, which faces a high risk of failure because of high levels of competition and the customer lads a. experience. | b. The customer lacks other sources of income that can be used to) pay the balance. | c. The financing arrangement is on a non-recourse basis, meaning, | if the customer defaults, ABC Co: can repossess the equipment but cannot seek further compensation even if the collateral does not fully cover the unpaid balance. Conclusion: ABC Co. shall not recognize any revenue from the contract. ABC Co. shall treat the P1,000,000 nonrefundable deposit, and ay subsequent collections, as deposit liability. Revenue shall be recognized only when the collectability of the consideration becom probable or when either of the following occurs: a. ABC Co. has no remaining obligation to transfer a4 equipment to the customer and all, or substantially all, of the consideration has been received and is non-refundable; of aoe contract has been terminated and the considerati® teceived is non-refundable, Revenue from Contracts with Customers 7 Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract ‘A contract includes promises to transfer goods or services to the customer. Each promise to transfer the following is a performance obligation to be accounted for separately: a. A distinct good or service (or a°distinct bundle of goods or services); OT b. A series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer (PFRS 15.22) A promised good or service is distinct if: a. The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer; and b. The promise to transfer the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Customer can benefit: A customer can benefit from a good or service if the good or service could be used, consumed, sold for an amount that is greater than scrap value or otherwise held in a way that generates economic benefits. The fact.that the entity regularly sells a good or service separately indicates that a customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or with other readily available resources, Separately identifiable: A promise to transfer a good or service is separately identifiable if the good or service: : a. is not an input to a combined output specified by the customer. b. does not significantly modify another good or service promised in the contract. © is not highly interrelated with other goods or services promised in the contract. For example, the customer's decision of not purchasing a good or service does not affect the other Prouised goods or services in the contract. a A promised good or service that is not dlsting combined with other promised goods OF Services until a bundle, goods or services that is distinct is identified. In some Cases, th may result to treating all the promised B00ds or services ind contract as a single performance obligati jon. A promise that is implied by ie entity’s Customa business practices, published policies or specific statements is alsy treated as a performance obligation if, at contract inception, the " promise creates a valid expectation of the customer that the entity will satisfy the implied promise. Performance obligations include only activities that involve the transfer of a good or service to a customer, Performance obligations do not include administrative tasks to set up a contract. Examples of promised goods or services: a. Sale of goods produced by a manufacturing entity; b. Resale of goods purchased by a trading entity (e.g., a retailer); c. Resale of rights to goods or services purchased by an entity; d. Performing a contractually agreed-upon task(s) by a service- oriented entity; e. Constructing, manufacturing or developing an asset on behalf of 2 customer; f. Providing a service of standing ready to provide goods ot services (e.g., unspecified updates to software that ate provided on a when-and-if-available basis) or of making 800ds or services available for a customer to use as and whet the customer decides; . 8. Providing a service of arranging for another party to transfet Goods or services to a customer (e.g, acting as an agent a another party); h. Granting rights to future th (eg., an . i e 800ds or services to be provided in es at a customer can resell or provide to its custome entity selling a product to a retailer_ promises Revenue from Contracts with Customers 99 transfer an additional good or service to an individual who purchases the product from the retailer); Granting licenses; and Granting options to purchase additional goods or services (when those options provide a customer with a material right). (PFRS 15.26) i. je Jilustration: Determining whether goods or services are distinct (Based on IFRS 15 Illustrative Examples, 1249 to 1E58) ABC Co., a software developer, enters into a contract with a customer to transfer a software license, perform an installation service and provide unspecified software updates and technical support for a two-year period. Additional information: « ABC Co, regularly sells the license, installation service and technical support separately. « The installation service is routinely performed by other entities and does not significantly modify the software. The software remains functional without the updates and the technical support. Analyses: Each of the promised goods and services are distinct because of the following reasons: a. The customer can benefit from each promised good or service either on its own or together with the other promised goods or services. | - Each of the promised goods or services can be sold separately. 7 * ~ The software remains functional even without the updates and technical support. b. Each promised good or service is separately identifiable. - The installation service does not significantly modify the software. : - As such, the software and the installation service are separate outputs rather than inputs used to produce a combined output. Conclusion: ‘ There are four performance obliga 1, the software license; tions in the contract; 3. software updates; and 4. technical support i | 2. an installation service; | | | (Variation: “If the installation service significantly modify or customize the ' software to add significant new functionality to enable the software to interface with the other customized software applications used by the customer, then there will be thre, performance obligations in the contract as follows: | 1, customized installation service (including the software license, 2. software updates; and |_'3. technical support Step 3: Determine the transaction price c The entity determines the transaction price because this is the amount at which revenue will be measured. . Pisasgction Price ~ is “the amount of consideration to which a entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring Promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amourls collected on’ behalf of third part " (PFRS 15.Appendix A) f of third parties (e.g,, some sales ta%) a Je Consideration may include fixed amou® variable amounts, or both. _Revenue from Contracts with Customers 101 step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the obligations The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation identified in a contract based on the relative stand-alone prices of the distinct goods or services promised to be transferred, Performance «Stand-alone selling price is “the price at which a promised good or service can be sold separately to a customer.” (rrRs15.appe A) A list price or a contract price may be (but is not presumed to be) the stand-alone selling price of a good or service. If the stand-alone _ selling, price is not directly determinable, it shall be estimated — maximizing the use of observable inputs and applying estimation methods consistently in similar circumstances. The following methods may be used to estimate the stand- alone selling price: a. Adjusted market assessment approach — the entity evaluates the market where the goods or services are sold and estimates the price that a customer would be willing to pay for those goods or services. This may also include referring to competitors’ prices for similar goods or services and adjusting those prices as necessary to reflect the entity's costs and margins. b. Expected cost plus a margin approach — the entity forecasts the expected cost of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin. Residual approach — the stand-alone selling price of'a good or servicé is the residual amount after deducting all the stand- alone selling prices of the other promised goods and services in the contract from the total transaction price. A combination of methods may be used if two or more 800ds or services have highly variable or uncertain stand-alone selling prices. ii transaction price tration: Allocating the ie ei Product X, Product Y, and Product Z to a cy, to for a lump sum price of 90,000. The products will be deliveres : a different points in time. Case 1: Relative stand-alone prices are determinable ABC Co. regularly sells Products X, Y and Z separately at py i 1,000, 40,000 and P60,000, respectively.

Case 2: Relative stand-alone prices are not determinable ABC Co. does not regularly sell the products separately. Therefore, the stand-alone selling prices of the products are not directly observable. In estimating the relative stand-alone prices ABC Co. has gathered the following information: 2. The prices at which other competitors regularly sell product Similar to Product X and Product Y are P25,000 and 45,000 respectively, ABC Co’ cost of producing Product Y is P60,000.

It includes the ability to prevent others from obtaining those benefits. Contra) exists even if only momentarily when goods or services a received and used. Benefits include the potential cash inflows or savings in cash outflows that can be obtained directly or indirectly in many ways, such as by: using the asset to produce goods or provide services; using the asset to enhance the value of other assets; using the asset to settle liabilities or reduce expenses; . selling or exchanging the asset; pledging the asset to secure a loan; and holding the asset.

The entity's performance does-not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Alte i. rnative use: An asset does not have an alternative use to the entity if the entity is restricted contractually from directing the asset for another use during or after the asset's completion. s In the absence of a contractual restriction, the entity is still restricted from directing the asset for another use if the entity would incur significant losses to direct the asset for another use because it needs to rework the asset at a significant cost or the asset can only be sold at a- significant loss (eg. the asset has design specifications that are unique to the customer or is located in a remote area). q 106 San, © Enforceable right f payment for performance completed to ay, ii, An entity /ias an enforceable right 0 payment ‘for Perfor completed to date if the entity is entitled to an amoung he entity for any performance com, al t compensates d Pleteg 4 the event that the customer or another Party termina, reasons other than the entity’s failure, o ii, the contract for perform as promised. 2 The amount referred to in (ii) above shall be Sufficient fo the entity to recover the costs incurred in sat eI performance obligation plus a reasonable profit margin The compensation for a reasonable profit margin need not equal the profit margin expected if the contract was fulfilled as promised.

An entity recognizes revenue for each performance obligation satisfied over time by measuring the progress towards. the complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The entity uses a single method of measuring progress for each performance obligation satisfied over time and applies that method to remeasure its Progress at the end of each reporting » period. Appropriate methods of measuri i : eas s de: a. Output methods ee b. Input methods Revenue from Contracts with Customers ree eee 107 a eee Output methods Under output methods, progress is measured based on d measurements of the value of the goods or services ttohaferred't ; date relative to the remaining goods or services promised inde the contract. Examples: a. Surveys of performance completed to date pb. Appraisals of results achieved, milestones reached, time elapsed and units produced or units delivered ; As a practical expedient, billings to the customer may be recognized as revenue if the entity has the right to that amount and that amount corresponds directly with the value of performance completed (e.g., a service contract in which an entity bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided). The disadvantages of output methods are that the outputs used to measure progress may not be directly observable and the information required to apply them may be costly. Input methods Under input methods, progress is measured based on efforts or inputs expended relative to the total expected inputs needed to fully satisfy a performance obligation. Examples: a. costs incurred . Tesources consumed labor hours expended |. machine hours used time elapsed eaos If efforts or inputs are expended evenly throughout the perférmance period, revenue may be recognized on a straight-line basis, ‘A weakness of input methods is that there may not be a direct telationship between an entity’s inputs and the transfer of control of an asset to a customer. In such cases, the entity may need to adjust the inputs used in the measurement. ‘ 7 15 in the measure O ress i sure of Pros! ranges in the 1 f : oe gress 1S updated as © ircumstances neasure of Pro’ fi : on 0 ae reflect any changes in the outcome of the Perform Vey time to e accounted for as a chain ay sersifl ch changes ar uit aan inate in,accordance with PAS 8.

Revenue from a performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time is recognized WHEN the performance obligation is " satisfied. The entity considers the following indicators of transfer of control when determining the point in time at which the promised good or service is transferred to the customer: a.

Illustration: The 5-step Method On January 1, 20x1, Entity A enters into a contract with a customer for the sale of a machine and related one-year maintenance services for a total contract price of 1,000,000. Entity A regularly sells these items separately. If they were to be purchased separately, their stand-alone selling prices are as follows: ~ _ €900,000 for the machine; and ~ 300,000 for the one-year maintenance services Entity A transfers the machine, and collects the tot contract price, on February 1, 20x1, The maintenance services sa on that date, *% Revenue recognition: Step 1: Identify the contra The contract qualifies f because all the require) ct with the customer i % Or accounting in accordance with PERS ‘ments are met. Revenue from Contracts with Customers 11 mre step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract There are two performance obligations in the contract — 4, transfer of machine; and 2, rendering of maintenance services. Each of these is a distinct good or service because: a. the customer can benefit from the machine and the maintenance services on their own. This is evidenced by the fact that they are sold separately. b. the promises to transfer the machine and provide the maintenance services are separately identifiable. Step 3: Determine the transaction price The transaction price is #1,000,000. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices as follows: Stand-alone selling prices Allocation As allocated Machine 900,000 (1M x 900/1,200) 750,000 Maintenance services __ 300,000 (1M x 300/1,200) 250,000 1,200,000 : 1,000,000 Step 5: Recognize revenue ‘when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied The promise to transfer the machine is a performance obligation Satisfied at a point in time because it does not meet any of the conditions for a performance obligation satisfied over time.

Analysis: ‘The promise to install the device is not a performance obligation because it is not a distinct service: a. The customer cannot benefit from the installation either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the installation service is not regularly sold separately); and ; b. The installation service is not separately identifiable from the " promise to transfer the device.

The customer is billed on that date. The contract does not require ABC Co. to install the device because the installation is simple and the customer can do it himself, Neither does ABC Co. have a past practice nor a published policy of installing such device. However, on May 3, 20x1, a sales representative of ABC Co. helped the customer install the device because the customer had trouble understanding the instruction on the device’s user's manual, Analysis: The installation is not a performance obligation because it not included in the contract, whether explicitly or implicitly. Revenue is recognized on May 1, 20x1. Case #3: On June 1, 20x1, ABC Co. sells a standard security device to a customer. To induce sale, ABC Co. offers the customer free three- month maintenance services. ABC Co. regularly sells maintenance services separately from security devices. The customer is billed on June 1, 20x1. However, the installation is completed on June 7, 20x1. Analysis: ¢ The promise to install the device is not a performance’ obligation because it is not a distinct service (see explanation in Case #1). However, the promise to provide the free maintenance services is a performance obligation because it is a distinct service: "a. The ‘customer cannot benefit from the maintenance services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer {i.e., the maintenance services are regularly sold separately); and 116 ~~ e services are separately identifiable fron, c i i : e sfer the device and install it.

It is the first time ABC Co. will be producing this kind of device. Aside from the regular installation, the contract also requires ABC Co. to provide free maintenance services for a 6- month period after the device is installed and to rectify at no further cost any faults found in the device during that period. Because the device is highly customized, ABC Co. does not have any past experience on the maintenance of such device and has 10 past information on the costs of its rectification. However, ABC Co. is expecting numerous changes that would need to be made the device after it is installed, The changes may cause significant modification to the device or its installation. : a Ee. _ Revenue from Contracts with Customers Analysis: ‘The promises to (a) maintain the device and (b) rectify faults on the device are not performance obligations because the customer cannot benefit from them separately (ie., they are not regularly’ sold as separate services) and they are not separately identifiable from the other promises in the contract, ie, each of the maintenance and rectification: a. isan input to the combined output of transferring a device that functions in accordance with agreed upon specifications; b. may cause significant modification to the device or its installation; and c. ishighly interrelated to the device (ie., each is affected by the entity’s decision of not purchasing the device). Accordingly, ABC Co. shall treat the promises of transferting the device, installing it, providing maintenance services, and rectifying faults as a single performance obligation. Revenue shall be recognized after the 6-month period, wherein ABC Co. is contractually bound to rectify faults, has elapsed.

Contract liability — is “an entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer.” (PFRS 15.Appendix A) Acontract liability is recognized at the earlier of the date: a. The entity receives consideration before the good or service is transferred to the customer (ie., advance payment). b. The entity has an unconditional right to the consideration before the good or service is transferred to the customer (e.g., a non- cancellable contract requires payment in advance). (PFRS 15.106) Contract asset - is “an entity's right to consideration in exchange for goods of services that the entity has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage -of time (for example, the entity’s future performance).” A contract asset (excluding amounts recognized as a teceivable) is recognized when the good or service is transferred to the customer before the consideration is received or becomes due, A contract asset is measured, assessed for impairment, Presented and disclosed in accordance with PFRS 9. wo 5 right to consideration van entity” ae is unconditional jf only is Receivable - is “eration i unconditional.

Customers’ unexercised rights A prepayment received from a customer is recognized as ‘a contract liability because it represents the entity’s obligation to transfer, or to stand ready to transfer, goods or services in the future. On the other hand, the prepayment gives the customer the right to receive those goods or services in the future. Revenue is recognized only when the entity transfers those goods or services. However, there may be cases wherein a customer.may not ° exercise all its contractual rights. Those unexercised rights. are often referred to as breakage. A breakage that results from a non-refundable prepayment is recognized as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer when the entity expects that it will be entitled to the breakage or when the likelihood of the customer exercising its remaining rights becomes remote. ADDITIONAL CONCEPTS RELATED TO STEP 2 Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Warranties It is common for an entity to provide a customer a warranty for a product or service sold, whether in accordance with the contract, the law, or the entity’s customary business practices. For example, ~ San entity gives a customer the right to return a defective ptoduct in exchange for a functioning product. The nature of a warranty can vary significantly across , industries and contracts. Warranties may provide the customer: Cha ass nan 4 Dlg malate’ ill functi that the related product will function as the a, a.

Such warranty is accounted for under PAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. A warranty that is both an asstirance-type and a service- type shall be treated as a single performarice obligation if the entity cannot reasonably account for them separately, A law that requires an entity to pay compensation if its products cause harm or damage does not give rise to a performance obligation. For example, a manufacturer might sell products in a jurisdiction in which the law holds the manufacturer liable for any damages that might be caused by a consumer using, a product for its intended purpose. Similarly, an entity’s promise to indemnify the customer for liabilities and damages arising from claims of patent, copyright, trademark or other infringement by the entity's products does not give rise to a performance obligation. The entity shall account for such obligations in accordance with PAS 37. Illustration 1: Warranties (Based on IFRS 15 Illustrative Examples, [E223 to 1E229) ABC Co,, a manufacturer, provides its customer a warranty with the purchase of a product. The warranty provides assurance that the product complies. with agreed-upon specifications and will operate as promised for one year from the date of purchase. The contract also provides the customer with the right to receive up to 20 hours of training services on how to operate the product at no additional cost. Requirement: Identify the performance obligations. Analyses: * Each of the product and the training service is distinct because (a) the customer can benefit from them separately either on their | aes gh own or together with other resources that are readily ay, Vi to the customer and (b) each is separately identifiable trom tt mises in the contract.

The contract requires ABC-¢) to remediate any ‘unsatisfactory performance, which is no, governed by normal warranty provisions. Accounting: > If ABC Co. can reliably estimate the outcome of the contrat and the warranty provides the customer service in addition to assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications, ABC Co. shall account for two performance obligations (the goods and the warranty). ABC Co. shall allocate the transaction price to these obligations and recognize revenue when (or as) these obligations are satisfied. » If ABC Co. cannot reliably estimate the outcome of the contract, ABC Co, shall treat the contract as a single performance obligation, Consequently, ABC Co. shall not recognize any revenue until after the time period for which ABC Co. is contractually bound to remediate any defects on the produd sold has elapsed. This is because only after ther that ABC Co. transfers control over the goods to the customer. Principal versus Agent considerations When another party'is involved in a customer, the entity principal or an agent. Providing goods or services to Shall determine whether it-is acting #* 137 The entity is a principal if it controls the good or service gefore the good or service is transferred to the customer. However, the entity is not necessarily a principal if it obtains legal title of 4 product only momentarily before legal title is transferred to the customer. A. principal may personally satisfy a performance obligation or it may engage another party (for example, a subcontractor) to satisfy some or all of a performance obligation on its behalf. When the performance obligation is satisfied, the principal recognizes revenue at the gross amount of consideration. The entity is an agent if its performance obligation is to arrange the provision of goods or services by another party. When the performance obligation is satisfied, the agent recognizes revenue at the commission or fee to which itis entitled. The following are indicators that an entity is an agent (and therefore does not control the good or service before it is provided to a customer): a. Another party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract; b.

A customer option that does not provide the customer with a material right is wot a performance obligation. For example, the price for the additional goods or services reflects their stand- alone selling prices. Illustration 1: Option provides the customer a material right (Based on IFRS 15 Illustrative Examples, [E250 to 1E253) ABC Co. enters into a contract for the sale of Product A for P100. As part of the contract, ABC Co. gives the customer a 40% discount voucher for any future purchases up to P100 in the next 30 days. ABC Co. intends to offer a 10% discount on all sales during the next 30 days as part of a seasonal promotion. The 10% discount cannot be used in addition to the 40% discount voucher. Past experience shows that 80% of customers redeem the voucher " and the average additional purchase is P50. Requirement: Determine the performance obligations and allocate the transaction price to each of those obligations. Solution: Because all customers will receive a 10% discount on purchases during the next 30 days, the only discount that provides the Customer with a material right is the incremental discount of 30% (40% - 10%). ABC Co. allocates the transaction price to the following performance obligations based on their stand-alone selling Prices; ~~ Performance __obligati Produc “Stand-alone selling prices” selling prices ! i 100 (100 x 100/112 i loca WY) 12 (10x 12/112) 112 aR Allocation aS Illustration 2: Option does not provide the customer a matey, right : (Based on IFRS 15 Illustrative Examples, [E254 to 1E256) ABC Co., a telecommunications company, enters into a contrac, with a customer to provide a cellphone and network Service fo, 2,499 monthly payments over the next 2 years, Although possession of the cellphone transfers to the customer at contrac inception, ownership transfers only ‘at the end of the 2-year contract.

Additional calls or text messages will be billed at the regular prices of P8 per call minute and PI per text message. Requirement; Determine the performance obligations. Solution: | * Each of the cellphone and the network service is distint because (a) the customer can benefit from them separately eithet | on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and (b) each is separately idontifabl from other promises in the contract, Therefore, the cellphor® and the network service are separate performance obligations The option to purchase the additional call minutes and tev does not provide a material right that the customer would" receive without entering into the contract. This is because Prices of the additional call minutes and texts reflect the sa" alone selling prices for those services, Therefore, the opti" purchase additional call a minutes and texts is performance obligation, Hracts with Customers 145 Accordingly, the transaction price shall be allocated only to the cellphone and the network s : Revenue for the additional call minutes or texts will be recognized if and when those services are provided, Illustration 3: Option provides the customer a material right ABC Co. enters into 100 separate contracts with custorners to provide one year of maintenance services for P1,000 per contract. The terms of the contracts specify that at the end of the year, each customer, has the option to renew the maintenance contract for a second year by paying an additional P1,000. Customers who renew for a second year are also granted the option to renew for a third year for P1,000. The entity charges significantly higher prices for maintenance services to customers that do not sign up for the maintenance services initially (i.e, when the products are new). That is, the entity charges P3,000 in Year 2 and P5,000 in Year 3 for annual maintenance services if a customer does not initially purchase the service or allows the service to lapse. The entity expects that 90% of the contracts wil! be renewed at the end of Year 1 and 90% of the contracts renewed at the end of Year 1 will be renewed at the end of Year 2. The entity also determines that recognizing revenue on the basis of costs incurred relative to the total expected cosis depicts the transfer of services to the customer. The estimated costs for a three-year contract are as follows: Year 1 P600, Year 2 ?750, and Year 3 P1,000.

Under guch program, the customer earns award credits (often described as points’) from his purchases. Points can be exchanged for free or discounted goods or services. The entity may operate the customer loyalty program itself or participate in a program operated by a third party. The awards offered may include goods or services supplied by the entity itself and/or rights to claim goods or services from a third party. Illustration: Customer loyalty program ABC Co. has a customer loyalty program that rewards a customer with one loyalty point for every P10 of purchases. Each point is redeemable for a P1 discount on any future purchases of ABC’s products. : During a reporting period, customers purchase products for 100,000 and earn 10,000 points that can be redeemed over the next 3 years. The stand-alone selling price of the purchased products is P100,000.ABC Co. expects 9,500 points to be redeemed. Therefore, the estimated stand-alone selling price per point is of 0.95. Requirement: Provide the journal entry on the date of sale. Solution: The points provide a material right to customers that they would Rot receive without entering into a contract. Therefore, the Promise te provide points to the customer is a performance obligation.

Examples include: 1. Joining fees in health club membership contracts 2. Activation fees in telecommunication contracts 3. Setup fees in some services contracts 4, Initial fees in some supply contracts The upfront fee is treated as a performance obligation if it relates to the transfer of distinct goods or services to the customer. The upfront fee is not treated as a performance obligation if it relates to administrative tasks to set up a contract. Set up activities are not performance obligation because they do not result in the transfer of a promised good or service to the customer as the tasks are performed. An entity may charge a non- refundable fee in part as compensation for costs incurred in setting up a contract or other administrative tasks. Illustration 1; Non-refundable upfront fee (Based on IFRS 15 Illustrative Examples, E272 to 1E274) ABC Co, enters into a contract with a-customer for one year of transaction processing. services.

On April |, 20x1, ABC Co. enters into a contract to provide cable TV services to a customer for a monthly fee of P500. The contract is mon cancellable for the first 12 months. If during that period, the customer decides not to pursue the contract, the customer shall pay’ the monthly fees for the remaining contractual period, including disconnection fees. The contract is subject to installation. ABC Co. does not regularly provide installation services separately from cable TV services. The installation is completed 0" May. 16, 20x1 and the customer starts to receive the cable TY service on that date. Case 1: ABC Co. : 0. does not charge a separate fee for the installation se"! Revenue from Contracts with Customers 151 Recall the following concepts from Step 2 Identify the performance obligations in the contract: Each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service is a performance obligation to be accounted for separately. ‘A good or service is distinct if (a) the customer can benefit from the ood or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to. the customer; and (b) the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. A promised good ot service that is not distinct shall be combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services that is distinct is identified, This may result to treating all the promised goods or services in a contract as a single performance obligation. Performance obligations include only activities that involve the transfer of a good or service to a customer. Performance obligations do not include administrative tasks to set up a contract. Analysis: The installation service is not distinct because of the following reasons: a. the customer cannot benefit from it either on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer (this is evidenced by the fact that ABC Co. does not regularly sell the installation services separately); and b. . the installation service is not separately identifiable from the promise to provide monthly cable TV service (ie, the installation service is an input to the combined output of providing the cable TV service.and is highly interrelated with the cable TV service). Accordingly, the transaction price shall be allocated only to the cable TV services. The performance obligation is satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity's performance as the entity performs.’ Therefore, revenue will be recognized over time as the cable TV services are provided. As a practical expedient, Tevenue is recognized as the customer is billed for the monthly: Services provided. Case 2: At contract inception, ‘ " representing a non-refundable installatio! ABC Co. charges the custome; n fee. Paty Analysis: 7 The installation service is ot distinct (see reasons above), In effect, the non-refundable fee is a prepayment for the’, TV services. Accordingly, the fee will be recognized as reven, the cable TV services are provided (PFRS 15.IE274). However, ABC Co. is not precluded from charging the non-refundable fee as compensation for the installation costs (PFRS 15.B51 and .25). ‘able Ue ag Illustration 3: Joining fees ABC Gym charges its members a P1,000 non-refundable membership fee and ?1,200 monthly fees to cover the members use of the gym’s facilities. During the year, ABC collected P 120,000 membership fees, excluding monthly fees. Case 1: The non-refundable membership fee covers a period of 1 year. The fee permits only membership. All other services are paid for separately through the monthly fees. After a year, the member can renew the contract for another year at P1,000. Analysis: The membership fee does not transfer a good or service to the customer. Therefore, it is not a performance obligation. Z Moreover, the renewal option does not provide a material right to the customer that it would not receive without enterins into that contract. The membership fee is, in effect, an advance payment fot ABC’s obligation’ to stand ready to make the gym facil available for the customer's use.

However, the non-refundable membership fee covers a lifetime membership. “Analysis: ‘The analysis is the similar to Case 1. However, ABC Co. is not precluded under PFRS-15 from charging the non-refundable, lifetime, membership fee in part as compensation for costs jncurred in setting up the contract or other administrative tasks. Illustration 4: Joining fees ABC Co. operates various stores nationwide which sell a variety of goods including groceries, electronics, appliances, and school supplies. ABC offers membership for its customers. A membership entitles the member to special discounts not available to non-members and certain preferences like free parking space. During the year, ABC collected total membership fees of 1,000,000. Analysis: The membership entitles the member to a material right (ie., special discounts and preferences) that it would not receive without entering into that contract. Therefore, the membership fee is treated as a performance obligation and recognized as revenue over time on a basis that Teflects the timing, nature and value of the benefits provided. Asa practical expedient: > If ABC cannot determine such basis and the membership has an expiration date, the fee’shall be recognized ratably (e.8., oo a straight line basis) over the period the membership is in effect.
