Question #15
On January 1, 2016, Bartell Company sold its idle plant facility to Cooper, Inc. for P1,050,000. On this date the plant had a
net book value of P735,000. Cooper paid P150,000 cash on January 1, 2016, and signed a P900,000 note bearing
interest at 10%. The note was payable in three annual installments of P390,000 beginning January 1, 2017. This included
interest of P90,000. Bartell appropriately accounted for the sale under the installment method.
Cooper made a timely payment of the first installment on January 1, 2017. At December 31, 2017, Bartell has deferred
gross profit of
270,000 153,000 180,000 225,000
SOLUTION:
The total gross profit (GP) on the sale is P315,000 (selling price of P1,050,000 less depreciated cost of P735,000), and
the GP rate is 30% (P315,000/P1,050,000). GP recognized in 2016 is P45,000 (30% x P150,000 down payment), and GP
recognized in 2017 is P90,000 (30% x (P390,000 - P90,000)). This leaves a balance of P180,000 in deferred GP.
Deferred gross profit
Recognized 2016 45,000 315,000 Total gross profit
Recognized 2017 90,000
180,000 Balance 12/31/2017
GP is recognized only on the portion of the sales price collected, not on the interest collected (P90,000). A short-cut
approach is to multiply the remaining balance in installment notes receivable by the GP rate (P600,000 x 30% =
P180,000).

Question #38
Lane Co., which began operations on January 1, 2017, appropriately uses the installment method of accounting. The
following information pertains to Lanes operations for the year 2017:
Installment sales P1,000,000
Regular sales 600,000
Cost of installment sales 500,000
Cost of regular sales 300,000
General and administrative expenses 100,000
Collections on installment sales 200,000
The deferred gross profit account in Lanes December 31, 2017 balance sheet should be
320,000 500,000 400,000 150,000
SOLUTION:
Under the installment method, gross profit is deferred at the time of sale and is recognized by applying the gross profit
rate to subsequent cash collections. At the time of sale, gross profit of P500,000 is deferred (P1,000,000 - P500,000). The
gross profit rate is 50% (P500,000 / P1,000,000). Since 2017 collections on installment sales were P200,000, gross profit
of P100,000 (50% x P200,000) is recognized in 2017. This recognition of gross profit would decrease the deferred gross
profit account to a 12/31/2017 balance of P400,000 (P500,000 - P100,000). Note that regular sales, cost of regular sales,
and general and administrative expenses do not affect the deferred gross profit account.

Tillary Company, which began business on January 1, 2017, appropriately uses the installment sales method of
accounting. The following data are available for 2017:
Installment accounts receivable, December 31, 2017 P200,000
Deferred gross profit, December 31, 2017
(before recognition of realized gross profit) P140,000
Gross profit on sales 40%
The realized gross profit on installment sales for the year ended December 31, 2017, should be
80,000 70,000 50,000 60,000
SOLUTION:
As this is the first year of operations, all P140,000 is from 2017 sales. In the absence of any defaults and repossessions
during the year, this represents the total gross profit (GP) for 2017. Therefore, the total debits to installment AR for 2017
sales (1) can be computed by dividing the deferred GP by the GP ratio, or P350,000 (P140,000/40%). Next, cash
collections (2) can be calculated as: P350,000 total debits - P200,000 ending balance = P150,000 cash collections.
Finally, GP realized in 2017 (3) would be 40% times cash collections of P150,000 for P60,000 GP realized.

P300,000 and a first mortgage note at the market rate of interest, for the balance. No additional payments were required
until 2018. On September 1, 2017, an independent appraiser valued the property at P1,500,000. On its 2017 income tax

SOLUTION:
The installment method of recognizing revenue is not acceptable for financial reporting purposes unless the
circumstances are such that the collection of the sales price is not reasonably assured. Since the property was sold to a
triple-A rated company and the value of the property is appreciating, collection can be assumed to be reasonably assured.
Therefore, the entire gain should be recognized for financial reporting purposes at the date of sale:

Installment accounts receivable, 2013 1,000
Installment accounts receivable, 2014 3,000
Gain on repossession 1,350
The repossessed merchandise was unsold at December 31, 2015. It was ascertained that they were booked upon
repossession at original costs. A fair valuation of these items would be a sale price of the repossessed merchandise at
P5,000 after incurring costs of reconditioning of P2,500 and cost to dispose them in the market at P250.
The realized gross profit on 2015 sales was:
22,000 28,000 68,000 62,000
SOLUTION:
50,000/.40 = 125,000 - 70,000 = 55,000 x 40% = 22,000

Question #66
When the outcome of the construction contract can be estimated reliably, which of the following accounting treatment is
proper?
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss shall be recognized
as an expense immediately without reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting
period.
The construction costs shall be deferred without reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end
of the reporting period.
The construction revenue shall be recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be
recoverable.
The balance construction in progress account will be equal to cumulative construction revenue recognized even if it is
probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue.

Question #67
On January 2, 2017, Diversified Enterprises signed a franchise agreement with DTSI Company for an initial franchise fee
of P92,500. Of this amount DTSI paid P17,500 upon the signing of the franchise contract and the balance is payable in
four annual payments of P18,750 starting December 31, 2017. DTSI issued 12% interest-bearing notes for the balance.
Collection of the notes are not reasonably assured.
The down-payment is not refundable; it represents the actual cost of initial services provided by Diversified before formal
signing. However, additional substantial services have yet to be performed by Diversified. During 2017 additional direct
franchise cost of P45,750 and indirect cost of P15,000 were incurred by Diversified.
It is also agreed that DTSI will pay continuing franchise fee at 3% of its gross sales revenue. The franchise outlet
commenced business operations on October 1, 2017 and its gross sales totaled P600,000 by year-end.

Question #71
Electricity companies A and B (involved in electricity sales but not distribution) jointly establish a power generation entity
(Company C) to build and operate a power plant. Companies A and B each have a 50% ownership interest in Company
C, which is structured as a corporation. The incorporation enables the separation of Company C from Companies A and B
and, as a consequence, the assets and liabilities held in Company C are the assets and liabilities of Company C. The
contractual arrangement between the parties does not specify that the parties have rights to the assets or obligations for
the liabilities of Company C.
However, the parties also enter into an off-take agreement requiring the following:
1. Companies A and B agree to purchase all the power generated by Company C in a ratio of 50:50. Company C cannot
sell any of the output to third parties, unless this is approved by companies A and B. Because the purpose of the
arrangement is to provide companies A and B with power they require, such sales to third parties are expected to be
uncommon and not material.
2. The price of the power sold to companies A and B is set forth in the off-take agreement at a level that is designed to
cover the costs of production and administrative expenses incurred by company . The arrangement is intended to operate
at a break-even level.
What is the proper classification of this joint arrangement?
It is classified as joint operation because PFRS 11 provides that in case of doubt, a joint arrangement shall be
classified as joint operation instead f joint venture.
It is classified as joint venture because the arrangement is established through a separate vehicle, an incorporated
entity Company C.
It is classified as joint venture because the incorporation enables the separation of Company C from Companies A
and B and, as a consequence, the assets and liabilities held in Company C on the assets and liabilities of Company C.
It is classified as joint operation because the off-take agreement reflects the exclusive dependence of Company C
upon Companies A and B for the generation of cash flows and the rights of Company A and B to all of the economic
benefits of the assets of Company C.
