Following information of BS Products Ltd. is given: Goods of 2,00,000 sold to Den Ltd. on 20-03-2023 but at the request of the buyer these were delivered on 10-04-2023.On 15-01-2023 goods of 3,00,000 were sent on consignment basis, of which 20% of the goods unsold are lying with the consignee as on 31-03-2023. 4,00,000 worth of goods were sold on approval basis on 01-12-2022. The period of approval was 3 months after which they were considered as sold. Buyer sent approval for 75% goods upto 31-01-2023 and no approval or disapproval received for the remaining goods till 31-03-2023.Apart from the above, BS Products Ltd. sells goods to dealers also. One of the conditions of sale is that interest is payable @ 2% p.m. for delayed payments by dealers. The percentage of interest recovery is only 10% i.e.50,000 on such overdue outstanding due to various reasons. During the year 2022-23, the company wants to recognize the entire interest receivable of 60,000. You are required to advise the accountant of BS Products Ltd., with valid reasons, the amount to be recognized as revenue in above cases in the context of AS 9 and also determine the total revenue to be recognized for the year ending 31-03-2023.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Case (i) The sale is complete, but delivery has been postponed at buyer's request. BS Products Ltd. should recognize the entire sale of 2,00,000 for the year ended 31 st March, 2023. Case (ii) 20% goods lying unsold with consignee should be treated as closing inventory and sales should be recognized for 2,40,000 (80% of 3,00,000). In the case of consignment sale revenue should not be recognized until the goods are sold to a third party. Case (iii) In case of goods sold on approval basis, revenue should not be recognized until the goods have been formally accepted by the buyer or the buyer has done an act adopting the transaction or the time period for rejection has elapsed or where no time has been fixed, a reasonable time has elapsed. Therefore, revenue should be recognized for the total sales amounting to 4,00,000 as the time period for rejecting the goods had expired. Case (iv) As per the standard, “where the ability to assess the ultimate collection with reasonable certainty is lacking at the time of raising any claim, the revenue recognition is postponed to the extent of uncertainty involved. In such cases, the revenue is recognized only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made". In this case, interest should be recognized only if the ultimate collection is certain and the company expects to realize interest for the delayed payments for 50,000 only. Hence, based on the past experience, the realization of interest for the delayed payments by the agent is certain only to the extent of this amount and not - 60,000. Therefore, the interest income of 50,000 should be recognized in the books for the year ended 31 st March, 2023. Thus, total revenue amounting - 8,90,000 (2,00,000 + 2,40,000 + 4,00,000 + 50,000) will be recognized for the year ended 31 st March, 2023 in the books of BS Products Ltd.
