Indicate in each case whether revenue can be recognized and when it will be recognized as per AS-9. (1) Trade discount and volume rebate received. (2) Where goods are sold to distributors or others for resale. (3) Where seller concurrently agrees to repurchase the same goods at a later date. (4) Insurance agency commission for rendering services. (5) On 11-03-2026 cloths worth ₹ 50,000 were sold to X mart, but due to refurbishing of their showroom being underway, on their request, clothes were delivered on 12-04-2026.
Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
(1) Trade discounts and volume rebates received are not encompassed within the definition of revenue, since they represent a reduction of cost. Trade discounts and volume rebates given should be deducted in determining revenue. (2) When goods are sold to distributor or others, revenue from such sales can generally be recognized if significant risks of ownership have passed; however, in some situations the buyer may in substance be an agent and in such cases the sale should be treated as a consignment sale. (3) For transactions, where seller concurrently agrees to repurchase the same goods at a later date that are in substance a financing agreement, the resulting cash inflow is not revenue as defined and should not be recognized as revenue. (4) Insurance agency commissions should be recognized on the effective commencement or renewal dates of the related policies. (5) On 11.03.2026, if X mart takes title and accepts billing for the goods then it is implied that the sale is complete and all risk and reward on ownership has been transferred to the buyers. Revenue should be recognized for year ended 31 st March, 2026 notwithstanding that physical delivery has not been completed so long as there is every expectation that delivery will be made and items were ready for delivery to the buyer at the time.
