Accounting for Construction Contracts IAS 11 has been subsumed under the standard IFRS   15, Revenues from Contract with customers. This has implications for the treatment of construction contracts including how they are accounted for, presented and disclosed.

Discuss making reference to the provisions of IFRS 15   Revenue from Contracts with Customers issued May 2014 and applicable for annual reporting beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

(Nb. The case information below is to be used to illustrate your understanding of the issues involved.)

Belvisja Limited has a fixed price contract for $9,000,000 to build a road, that is the initial amount agreed in the contract is $9 M. The contractor estimates that contract cost is $8,000,000. It will take three years to build the road.

By the end of year 1 the contractor’s estimate of contractors cost has increased to $8,050,000.

In year 2 the customer approves a variation resulting in an increase in contract revenue of $200,000 and estimated contract costs of $150,000.

At the end of year 2 costs incurred includes $100,000 for standard material storage on site to be used in year 3 to complete the project.

At the beginning of   year 3 the customer requested that the contract be adjusted by $500,000 for the cleaning of the drains.

The contractor determines the stage of completion of the contract by calculating the proportion that contract cost incurred for work performed to date bear to the latest estimated total contract costs.

  1. What percentage of data would you predict would be between 40 and 70 and what percentage would you predict would be more than 70 miles? Subtract the probabilities found through =NORM.DIST(70, mean, stdev, TRUE) and =NORM.DIST(40, mean, stdev, TRUE) for the “between” probability. To get the probability of over 70, use the same =NORM.DIST(70, mean, stdev, TRUE) and then subtract the result from 1 to get “more than”. Now determine the percentage of data points in the dataset that fall within this range, using same strategy as above for counting data points in the data set. How do each of these compare with your prediction and why is there a difference?
