OTHER ISSUES ON REVENUE RECOGNITION (IFRS 15)

1. Bill and hold sales


 A ‘bill and hold’ arrangement is a contract under which an entity bills a customer for a product but the entity
retains physical possession of the product until it is transferred to the customer at a point in time in the future.
 Revenue is recognized when the customer have obtained control of a product. A customer has obtained control
when all of the following criteria are met:
(a) The reason for the bill-and-hold arrangement must be substantive;
(b) The product must be identified separately as belonging to the customer;
(c) The product is currently ready for physical transfer to the customer; and
(d) The entity cannot have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer.

2. Layaway sales
 These are sales where the goods are delivered only when the buyer has paid the final installment in a series of
payments.
 Revenue from such sales is recognized when the goods are delivered.

3. Installment sales
 Revenue attributable to the sales price, exclusive of interest, is recognized at the date of sale.
 The sale price is the present value of the consideration, determined by discounting the installments receivable
at the imputed rate of interest. The interest element is recognized as revenue as it is earned using the effective
interest method.
