    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?

    Section B - Case 1: NovaGrid (Question 2 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: Assuming the maintenance service begins immediately upon handover on 31 December 20X5, how much revenue in total should NovaGrid recognize in its Statement of Profit or Loss for the year ended 31 December 20X5?

    Answer options:

    A.

    $1,028,571

    B.

    $857,143

    C.

    $1,200,000

    D.

    $1,000,000

    How to approach this question

    Identify which performance obligations were satisfied during 20X5. Only the build was completed. The maintenance starts at the end of the year, so no maintenance revenue is recognized yet.

    Full Answer

    B.$857,143✓ Correct
    The network build is a performance obligation satisfied over time or at a point in time (completed 31 Dec 20X5). The revenue allocated to it ($857,143) is recognized in 20X5. The maintenance service starts on 31 Dec 20X5 and runs for 2 years (20X6 and 20X7). Therefore, zero maintenance revenue is recognized in 20X5. Total revenue for 20X5 is $857,143.

    Common mistakes

    Recognizing a portion of the maintenance revenue in 20X5, failing to read that it only starts upon handover at year-end.
