Mercury Ltd. has sold goods to Mars Ltd. at a consideration of 10 lakhs, the receipt of which receivable in three equal installments of 3,33,333 over a two year period (receipts on 1 st April, 20X1, 31 st March, 20X2 and 31 st March, 20X3). The company is offering a discount of 5 % (i.e.50,000) if payment is made in full at the time of sale. The sale agreement reflects an implicit interest rate of 5.36% p.a. The total consideration to be received from such sale is at 10 Lakhs and hence, the management has recognised the revenue from sale of goods for 10 lakhs. Analyse whether the above accounting treatment made by the accountant is in compliance of the Ind AS. If not, advise the correct treatment along with working for the same.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

The revenue from sale of goods shall be recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The fair value of the consideration is determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest where the receipt is deferred beyond normal credit terms. The difference between the fair value and the nominal amount of the consideration is recognised as interest revenue. The fair value of consideration (cash price equivalent) of the sale of goods is calculated as follows: Year Consideration (Installment) Present value factor Present value of consideration Time of sale 3,33,333 3,33,333 End of 1 st year 3,33,333 0.949 3,16,333 End of 2 nd year 3,33,334 0.901 3,00,334 10,00,000 9,50,000 The Company that agrees for deferring the cash inflow from sale of goods will recognise the revenue from sale of goods and finance income as follows: Initial recognition of sale of goods Particulars ₹ Cash Dr. 3,33,333 Trade Receivable Dr. 6,16,667 To Sale 9,50,000 Recognition of interest expense and receipt of second installment Cash Dr. 3,33,333 To Interest Income 33,053 To Trade Receivable 3,00,280 Recognition of interest expense and payment of final installment Cash Dr. 3,33,334 To Interest Income (Balancing figure) 16,947 To Trade Receivable 3,16,387 Statement of Profit and Loss (extracts) for the year ended 31 st March, 20X2 and 31 st March, 20X3 As at 31 st March, 20X2 As at 31 st March, 20X3 Income ₹ ₹ Sale of Goods 9,50,000 - Other Income (Finance income) 33,053 16,947 Balance Sheet (extracts) as at 31 st March, 20X2 and 31 st March, 20X3 As at 31 st March, 20X2 As at 31 st March, 20X3 Assets ₹ ₹ Current Assets Financial Assets Trade Receivables 3,16,387 XXX
