Example: (1)
Mega Corporation, a grocery retailer, operates a customer loyalty program. It grants program members loyalty
points when they spend a specified amount on groceries. Program members can redeem the points for further
groceries. The points have no expiry date. The sales during 2019 amounted to P9,000,000 based on stand-alone
selling price. During 2019, the customers earned 10,000 points. But management expects that 80% or 8,000 of
these points will be redeemed. The stand-alone selling price of each loyalty point is estimated at 100. On December
31,2019, 4,000 points have been redeemed in exchange for groceries. In 2020, the management revised its
expectations and now expects that 90% or 9,000 points will be redeemed altogether. During 2020, the entity
redeemed 3,600 points. In 2021, a further 1,400 points are redeemed. Management continues to expect that only
9,000 points will ever be redeemed, meaning, no more points will be redeemed after 2021.

Some examples of provisions

Warranty When an obligating event occurs (sale of product with a warranty and
probable warranty claims will be made)

Land contamination A provision is recognized as contamination occurs for any legal obligations
of clean up, or for constructive obligations if the company's published
policy is to clean up even if there is no legal requirement to do so (past
event is the contamination and public expectation created by the
company's policy)

Offshore oil rig must be removed Recognize a provision for removal costs arising from the construction of the
and sea bed restored the oil rig as it is constructed, and add to the cost of the asset.  Obligations
(Decommissioning or abandoned arising from the production of oil are recognized as the production occurs.
costs)

Example: (1)
A Japan-based shipping entity lost an entire shipload of cargo valued at P5million on a voyage to Canada. It is however
covered by an insurance policy. According to the report of the investigator, the amount is collectible, subject to the
deductible clause in the insurance policy. Before year-end, the shipping entity received a letter from the insurance entity
that a check was in the mail for 90% the claim. The international freight forwarding entity that entrusted the shipping
entity with the delivery of the cargo overseas has filed a lawsuit for P5million claiming the value of the cargo that was
lost on high seas, and also consequential damages of P2million resulting from the delay. According to the legal counsel
for the shipping entity, it is probable that the shipping entity would have to pay the P5million. However, it is remote
possibility that it would have to pay the additional P2miilion claimed by the international freight forwarding entity, since
this loss was specifically excluded in the freight forwarding contract.

Example: (2)
Sunrise Company signed as guarantor for P200,000 loan by PNB to Sunset Company, a principal supplier of Sunrise. By
reason of financial difficulties, it is probable that Sunrise Company shall pay the P200,000 loan with only a 60% recovery
anticipated from Sunset Company

Example: (3)
On January 1, 2019, UM Company purchased a mining site that will have to be restored to certain specifications when
the mining production ceases. The cost of the mining site is P8million and the restoration cost is expected to be
P2million. It is estimated that the mine will continue in operation for 10 years. The appropriate rate is 8%. The present
value of 1 at 8% for 10 periods is 0.4632. On December 31, 2028, UM contracted with another entity for the restoration
of the mining site in accordance with specifications at a cost of P1,800,000.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries in 2019 to record the purchase of the mining site and the recognition of the
decommissioning liability.
2. Prepare journal entry to record the settlement of the decommissioning liability on December 31,2028.
