    Section B - Case 1: NovaGrid (Question 1 of 5)

    Scenario: NovaGrid, a telecom infrastructure company, entered into a contract on 1 January 20X5 to build a specialized network for a client and maintain it for 2 years. The total contract price is $1,200,000. If sold separately, the network build would cost $1,000,000 and the 2-year maintenance would cost $400,000. The network was completed and handed over on 31 December 20X5.

    Additionally, NovaGrid leased a specialized crane on 1 January 20X5 for 3 years. Payments are $50,000 annually in arrears. The implicit interest rate is 5%. (PV of $1 annuity for 3 yrs at 5% = 2.723).

    Question: Under IFRS 15, how much of the total transaction price should be allocated to the network build performance obligation?

    Answer options:

    A.

    $1,000,000

    B.

    $857,143

    C.

    $800,000

    D.

    $1,200,000

    How to approach this question

    Calculate the total of the standalone selling prices. Then allocate the actual transaction price proportionally based on those standalone prices.

    Full Answer

    B.$857,143✓ Correct
    IFRS 15 requires the transaction price to be allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices. Total standalone prices = $1,000,000 (build) + $400,000 (maintenance) = $1,400,000. Allocation to build = ($1,000,000 / $1,400,000) x $1,200,000 = $857,143.

    Common mistakes

    Allocating the full standalone price to the build and putting the entire discount against the maintenance.
