The company has made sales of 60,00,000 to a customer SS LLP on 31st December 20X2. The normal credit is for one month. However, sometimes, it goes upto 2 months. The company expects to receive the payment by 28th February 20X3. However, no payment has been received till 31st March 20X3. On 15th April 20X3, the sales department of the company became aware that the customer is passing through financial crisis and has major cash flow problems. The company has agreed to allow the customer to settle the debt by 31st March 20X4, by which time the customer is confident that the cashflow problem will be resolved. The company expects that an annual interest of 9% (i.e. effective interest rate) can be received against any money lent out, yet it allowed the customer an interest-free payment period. Determine the amount to be shown as 'trade receivable' from SS LLP in the books of the company as on 31st March 20X3.
Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
Ind AS 10 'Events after the Reporting Date', classify an event as adjusting if it provides additional evidence of conditions existing at the reporting date. In this case the additional information relates to evidence of impairment of a financial asset, since the customer had financial difficulties prior to 31st March 20X3. Ind AS 109 ‘Financial Instruments' requires financial assets to be reviewed at each reporting date for evidence of impairment. Such evidence exists here because although the customer is expected to pay the amount due the payment date has been deferred. As per para B5.5.33 of Ind AS 109, for a financial asset that is credit-impaired at the reporting date, but that is not a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, an entity shall measure the expected credit losses as the difference between the asset's gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's effective interest rate. Any adjustment is recognized in the profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss. Further, para B5.5.44 of Ind AS 109 provides that expected credit losses shall be discounted to the reporting date, not to the expected default or some other date, using the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof. In such circumstances, Ind AS 109 requires that the financial asset be re-measured at the present value of the expected future receipt, discounted (in the case of a trade receivable) using effective interest rate. Therefore, in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 20X3, asset should be measured at 55,04,587 (₹ 60,00,000 / 1.09) and an impairment loss of 4,95,413 (₹ 60,00,000 - 4,95,413) recognised in profit and loss. In the year ended 31st March 20X4, interest income of 4,95,413 (₹ 55,04,587 × 9%) should be recognised in the profit and loss.
