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?

Question: What is the total charge to the Statement of Profit or Loss in respect of the crane lease for the year ended 31 December 20X5?

Answer options:

A.

$50,000

B.

$45,383

C.

$52,191

D.

$56,808

How to approach this question

Add the annual depreciation charge to the finance cost (interest) for the year.

Full Answer

C.$52,191✓ Correct
The total P&L charge comprises depreciation and finance costs. Depreciation = $136,150 / 3 = $45,383. Finance cost = Initial liability $136,150 x 5% = $6,808. Total charge = $45,383 + $6,808 = $52,191. (Note: This is higher than the $50,000 cash payment, which is typical in the early years of an IFRS 16 lease).

Common mistakes

Assuming the P&L charge equals the annual cash payment of $50,000.
