for as follows:
The circumstance-driven approach is applicable, which means that the use of an accrued benefit
valuation method (the projected unit credit method) is required if the information that is needed to
make such a calculation is already available, or if it can be obtained without undue cost or effort. If
not, simplifications are permitted in which future salary progression, future service or possible
mortality during an employee’s period of service are not considered. [IFRS for SMEs 28.18-28.20]
C. All research and development costs are recognised as an expense. [IFRS for SMEs 18.14]

entity expects to recover those costs. However, those incremental costs are limited to the costs
that the entity would not have incurred if the contract had not been successfully obtained (e.g.
‘success fees’ paid to agents). A practical expedient is available, allowing the incremental costs of
obtaining a contract to be expensed if the associated amortization period would be 12 months or
less. [IFRS 15:91-94]

systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of transfer of the goods or services to which
the asset relates.

with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective
obligations;
b) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be
transferred;

cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and
e) it is probable (NOT VIRTUALLY CERTAIN) that the entity will collect the consideration to
which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to
the customer. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is
probable, an entity shall consider only the customer’s ability and intention to pay that
amount of consideration when it is due. The amount of consideration to which the entity
will be entitled may be less than the price stated in the contract if the consideration is
variable because the entity may offer the customer a price concession

The difference between the carrying amount and tax basis of the equipment is due to accelerated
depreciation for tax purposes.
The accrued liability is the estimated health care cost that was recognized as expense in 2017 but
deductible for tax purposes when actually paid.
In January 2017, the entity incurred P3,000,000 of computer software cost. Considering the technical
feasibility of the project, this cost was capitalized and amortized over 3 years for accounting purposes.

10. According to Par B4.3.5(e) of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, a call, put, or prepayment option embedded
in a host debt contract or host insurance contract is not closely related to the host contract unless:
a. (i) the option’s exercise price is exactly equal on each exercise date to the amortised cost of
the host debt instrument or the carrying amount of the host insurance contract; or
(ii) the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the lender for an amount up to the
total present value of loss interest for the remaining term of the host contract.
b. (i) the option’s exercise price is approximately equal on each exercise date to the fair value of
the host debt instrument or the fair value of the host insurance contract; or
(ii) the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the lender for an amount up to the
approximate present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the host contract.
c. (i) the option’s exercise price is approximately equal on each exercise date to the amortised
cost of the host debt instrument or the carrying amount of the host insurance contract; or
(ii) the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the lender for an amount up to the
approximate present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the host contract
d. (i) the option’s exercise price is exactly equal on each exercise date to the fair value of the host
debt instrument or the fair value of the host insurance contract; or
(ii) the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the lender for an amount up to the
total present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the host contract.
ANSWER: C
RATIONALE:
Par B4.3.5(e) of IFRS 9 strictly states that:
e) A call, put, or prepayment option embedded in a host debt contract or host insurance contract is
not closely related to the host contract unless:
(i) the option’s exercise price is approximately equal on each exercise date to the amortised cost of
the host debt instrument or the carrying amount of the host insurance contract; or
(ii) the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the lender for an amount up to the
approximate present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the host contract. Lost interest
is the product of the principal amount prepaid multiplied by the interest rate differential. The interest
rate differential is the excess of the effective interest rate of the host contract over the effective
interest rate the entity would receive at the prepayment date if it reinvested the principal amount
prepaid in a similar contract for the remaining term of the host contract.
The assessment of whether the call or put option is closely related to the host debt contract is made
before separating the equity element of a convertible debt instrument in accordance with IAS 32.

3. Which of the following items should be treated as dividend income?
Answer: C
In this scenario, we use the “as if” approach. Initially, the shareholder is entitled to receive cash
dividends. In case the shareholder receives shares in lieu of cash, the cash that should have been
received is deemed to have been received and subsequently used to buy additional shares.
Hence, it is treated as dividend income “as if” the shareholder received cash and purchased
shares thereafter.
a. requires that the benefit of gain or the risk of loss from the assets contributed to the pension
plan be borne by the employee.

c. requires that pension expense and the cash funding amount to be the same.
d. defines the contribution the employer is to make; no promise is made concerning the ultimate
benefits to be paid out to the employees.
Answer: B
As the term implies, formula used in defined benefit plan determines the benefits that the
employee shall receive at the time of retirement. In contrast, formula used in defined contribution
plan defines the contribution the employer is to make.

1. Fenn Stores, Inc. had sales of Php1,000,000 during December, year 2. Experience has shown that
merchandise equaling 7% of sales will be returned within thirty days and an additional 3% will be returned
within ninety days. Returned merchandise is readily resalable. In addition, merchandise equaling 15% of
sales will be exchanged for merchandise of equal or greater value. What amount should Fenn report for
net sales in its income statement for the month of December year 2?
a. Php900,000
b. Php850,000
c. Php780,000
d. Php750,000
Answer: A
When revenue is recognized from sales and a right of return exists, sales revenue must be reduced
to reflect estimated returns. In this case, sales of Php1,000,000 must be reduced by estimated
returns of Php100,000 [(7% + 3%) × Php1,000,000], resulting in net sales of Php900,000. The
estimated exchanges (15%) will not result in a future reduction of sales.

3. Pat issued 1,000 shares of its P5 par value share ordinary shares to Nenita as compensation for 1,000
hours of legal services performed. Nenita usually bills P160 per hour for legal services. On the date of
issuance, the shares were trading on a public exchange at P140 per share. Determine the increase in the
share premium as a result of the transaction.
a. P135,000
b. P140,000
c. P155,000
d. P160,000
Answer: A
Journal Entries:
Legal Expense P140,000
Ordinary Shares P5,000
Share Premium P135,000
Rationale: When stock is issued for services, the transaction should be recorded at either the FV of
the stock issued or the FV of the services received, whichever is more clearly determinable. The FV
of stock traded on a public exchange is a more objective, reliable measure than a normal billing rate
for legal services, which is likely to be negotiable.

10. IFRS 9 replaced the earlier standards for financial instruments, IAS 39, as of January 1, 2018. It contains
three main topics: classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets
and hedge accounting. In the new standard, there are 3 stages under the new impairment model. In stage
1, as soon as financial instrument is originated or purchased, 12-month expected credit losses are
recognized in profit or loss and a loss allowance is established. This serves as a proxy for the initial
expectations of credit losses. For financial assets, interest revenue is calculated based on the amortized
cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount less the loss allowance).
a. True
b. False
c. Neither True or False
d. None of the above
Answer: B
The statement ‘interest revenue is calculated based on the amortized cost (i.e. the gross carrying
amount less the loss allowance)’ should be interest revenue is calculated on the gross carrying
amount (i.e. without deduction for expected credit losses).
