ACCA · Question 16 · IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Section B - Case 1

*AeroStream is a commercial airline. On 1 January 20X5, AeroStream entered into a contract with a corporate client to provide 10 specific charter flights during the year for a total fixed price of $50,000. As part of the contract, AeroStream also granted the client 50,000 loyalty points, which can be redeemed for future flights. The standalone selling price of one charter flight is $5,500. The standalone selling price of one loyalty point is estimated at $0.10.

Also on 1 January 20X5, AeroStream leased a new aircraft for 5 years. The lease requires annual payments of $200,000 in arrears. The implicit interest rate in the lease is 5%. The present value of the lease payments is $865,895. AeroStream incurred initial direct costs of $15,000 to negotiate the lease.*

Question:
Under IFRS 15, what percentage of the total transaction price ($50,000) should be allocated to the loyalty points?

Answer options:

A.

10.00%

B.

8.33%

C.

9.09%

D.

0.00%

How to approach this question

Calculate the total standalone selling prices of all performance obligations. Then find the proportion of the loyalty points' standalone price relative to the total standalone prices.

Full Answer

B.8.33%✓ Correct
IFRS 15 requires the transaction price to be allocated based on relative standalone selling prices. 1. Standalone price of flights = 10 x $5,500 = $55,000. 2. Standalone price of points = 50,000 x $0.10 = $5,000. 3. Total standalone prices = $60,000. 4. Percentage allocated to points = $5,000 / $60,000 = 8.33%.

Common mistakes

Allocating based on the contract price ($50,000) instead of the sum of the standalone selling prices ($60,000).
