CR – May 2015 – L3 – Q2 – Financial Instruments (IFRS 9, IAS 32, IAS 39)

Advise Alilerimba Limited on accounting for convertible bonds, revenue from handsets, and IAS 32 provisions.

The following transactions relate to Alilerimba Limited:

  1. Convertible Bonds
    • On July 1, 2011, Alilerimba Limited issued 400,000 convertible bonds with a 3-year tenure and a total fair value of N4 million, which is also the par value.
    • The bonds carried an interest rate of 16% per annum, payable annually in arrears, while similar bonds without the conversion option carried an interest rate of 19% per annum on the same date.
    • The company incurred 10% issue costs. If the investors did not convert to shares, the bonds would have been redeemed at par.
    • At maturity (June 30, 2014), all bonds were converted into 1 million ordinary shares with a nominal value of N4 per share. No conversions were allowed before maturity.
    • The directors are uncertain how to account for the bonds up to the date of conversion. They were informed that the effective interest rate, considering issue costs, was 24%.
  2. Revenue Recognition for Handsets
    • Alilerimba purchases handsets at N120,000 each and sells them to customers at N90,000, provided the customers also purchase prepaid credit cards.
    • Prepaid credit cards are sold for N12,600 each and expire after six months. The average unused credit per card at expiry is N1,800.
    • Selling costs for the handsets are estimated at N600 per unit.
    • Alilerimba also sells handsets to dealers for N50,000 each, invoicing them for this amount. Dealers are allowed to return the handsets until a service contract is signed by a customer. When a service contract is signed, the handset is given to the customer free of charge.
    • Dealers receive a commission of N168,000 per customer connection. Net of the handset cost (N90,000), Alilerimba pays N78,000 to dealers for each customer connection.
    • Handsets cannot be sold separately by dealers, and the service contract has a 12-month duration. Dealers do not sell prepaid phones, and Alilerimba earns monthly revenue from the service contracts.
    • The Chief Operating Officer, a non-accountant, has requested an explanation of the accounting principles and practices to apply for handset purchases and revenue recognition.
  3. Preference Shares
    • Alilerimba Limited issued 8% preference shares with a redemption feature that entitles holders to receive cash.

Required:

Advise the directors of Alilerimba Limited on:
(a) The accounting treatment for the convertible bonds. (12 Marks)
(b) The accounting principles and practices to apply for the purchase of handsets and recognition of revenue from customers and dealers. (6 Marks)

AT – Nov 2014 – L3 – SB – Q2c – Corporate Tax Compliance and Reporting

Determine whether Maidogo Limited’s revenue recognition change is a policy change and calculate adjusted revenue for NIXAQ.

Maidogo Limited sells NIXAQ, a product manufactured by it, from several retail outlets. In previous years, the company has undertaken responsibility for fitting the product in customers’ premises. Customers pay for the product at the time they are ordered. The average length of time it takes from ordering to its fitting is 14 days. In previous years, Maidogo Limited had not recognised a sale in its books until the product had been successfully fitted because the rectification costs of any fitting error would be expensive.

With effect from 1 April, 2013, Maidogo Limited changed its method of trading by sub-contracting the fitting to approved contractors. Under this policy, the sub-contractors are paid by Maidogo Limited and they (the sub-contractors) are liable for any errors made in the fitting. Consequently, Maidogo Limited is proposing to recognise sales when customers order and pay for the goods rather than when they have been fitted.

Details of the relevant sales figures are:

  • Sales made in retail outlets for the year to 31 March, 2014: N69,000,000
  • Sales value of NIXAQ fitted in the 14 days to 14 April, 2013: N3,600,000
  • Sales value of NIXAQ fitted in the 14 days to 14 April, 2014: N4,800,000

Note:
The sales value of NIXAQ in the 14 days to 14 April, 2013 is not included in the annual sales figure of N69 million, but those for the 14 days to 14 April, 2014 are included.

Required:

  1. Discuss whether the above represents a change in accounting policy.
  2. Calculate the amount to include in revenue for NIXAQ for the year to 31 March, 2014.

CR – May 2023 – L3 – Q4a – Revenue Recognition (IFRS 15)

Discuss the criteria for a contract to fall under IFRS 15 for revenue recognition.

There has been significant divergence in practice over the recognition of revenue, mainly because International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) contain limited guidance in certain areas. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as a result of its joint project with the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), has issued IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

IFRS 15 sets out a five-step model, which applies to revenue earned from a contract with a customer with limited exceptions, regardless of the type of revenue transaction or the industry. Step one in the five-step model requires the identification of the contract with the customer and is critical for the purpose of applying the standard. The remaining four steps in the standard’s revenue recognition model are irrelevant if the contract does not fall within the scope of IFRS 15.

Discuss the criteria which must be met for a contract with a customer to fall within the scope of IFRS 15. (10 Marks)

This has been successful, and revenue has increased by 25%, especially in the last few months of the year. The level of receivables is considerably higher than last year, and there are concerns about the creditworthiness of some students.

  1. Changing the method of depreciation of its plant from straight-line depreciation over five years (with a nil residual value) to reducing balance at 20% per annum with effect from 1 January 2017. The plant originally cost GH¢100 million on 1 January 2015.
  2. Changing the basis of valuation of certain non-seasonal inventories from first-in, first-out (FIFO) to weighted average cost (WAC). Inventories were valued as follows under the two different methods:
    31 December 2015 31 December 2016 31 December 2017
    FIFO: GH¢64 million FIFO: GH¢66 million FIFO: GH¢71 million
    WAC: GH¢62 million WAC: GH¢63 million WAC: GH¢67 million
  3. Changing the revenue recognition basis for certain seasonal goods that were first sold in 2015 such that revenue is recognised on delivery to the customer rather than on shipment. This has arisen as a result of a change in delivery arrangements such that, with effect from 1 January 2017, risks are now borne by Talensi until delivery has been made to the customer.
    2015 2016 2017
    Revenue based on shipment date: GH¢50 million GH¢86 million GH¢90 million
    Revenue based on delivery date: GH¢46 million GH¢84 million GH¢88 million

The cost of the seasonal goods is consistently 80% of sales price.

Profit (calculated using existing policies and accounting estimates) was GH¢240 million for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Required:
Calculate the adjustment to opening retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity (including 2016 comparative figures) in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 and profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2017.

CR – Nov 2021 – L3 – Q2b – IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Determine how Barikisu Ltd should account for revenue and costs related to a construction contract with a customer under IFRS 15.

On 1 January 2020, Barikisu Ltd (Barikisu) entered into a contract with a customer to construct a specialised building for a consideration of GH¢2 million plus a bonus of GH¢0.4 million if the building is completed within 18 months. The estimated cost to construct the building is GH¢1.5 million. If the customer terminates the contract, Barikisu can demand payment for the cost incurred to date plus a mark-up of 30%. However, on 1 January 2020, due to factors outside of its control, such as the weather and regulatory approval, Barikisu is not sure whether the bonus will be achieved.

As at 31 December 2020, Barikisu has incurred a cost of GH¢1.0 million. They are still unsure as to whether the bonus target will be met. Therefore, Barikisu decided to measure progress towards completion based on the cost incurred. To date, Barikisu has received GH¢1 million from the customer.

Required:

Recommend to the directors of Barikisu how this transaction should be accounted for in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with relevant International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
