Illustration:
An entity manufactures a certain product and sells it at P300 per unit.
A soup bowl is offered to customers on the return of 5 wrappers plus a remittance of P10.
The bowl costs P50, and it is estimated that 60% of the wrappers will be redeemed.
The data for the first year concerning the premium plan are summarized below:
Sales, 10,000 units at P300 each 3,000,000
Soup bowls purchased, 2000 units at P50 each 100,000
Wrappers redeemed 4,000
The entries that would be made in the first year to record the sales, premium purchases and
redemption, and year-end adjustments are:
1. To record the sales:
Cash 3,000,000
Sales 3,000,000
Premiums 100,000
Cash 100,000
4. To record the liability for the premiums at the end of the first year:

CASH REBATE PROGRAM
A variation of a premium offer is a cash rebate program which has become common place.
Cash register receipts, bar-codes, rebate coupons, and other proof of purchase often can be mailed
to the manufacturer for cash rebate.
Like any premiums offer, the purpose of the cash rebate program is to stimulate sales.
Accordingly, the estimated amount of the cash rebate should be recognized both as an expense and
an estimated liability in the period of sale.
Illustration:
An entity offered P500 cash rebate on a particular model set. The customers must present a rebate
coupon enclosed in every package sold plus the official receipt.
Past experience indicates that 40% of the coupons will be redeemed.
During the current year, the entity sold 4,000 units of TV sets and total payments to customers
amounted to P450,000.
1. To recognize the cash rebate program:
Rebate expense 800,000
Estimated rebate liability 800,000.

CASH DISCOUNT COUPON
Another variation of the premium is the cash discount coupon program.
The cash discount program is a popular marketing tool for the purpose of stimulating sales.
Like a premium offer and cash rebate program, an expense and an estimated liability for the
expected cash discount should be recognized in the period of sale.
Illustration:
During the current year, an entity inserted in each package sold a coupon offering P300 off the
purchase price of a particular brand of product when the coupon is presented to retailers.
The retailers are reimbursed for the face amount of coupons plus 10% for handling. Previous
experience indicates that 30% of coupons will be redeemed.
During the current year, the entity issued coupons with face amount of P5,000,000 and total
payments to retailers amounted to P1,100,000.
1. To recognize cash discount coupon offer:
Cash discount coupon expense 1,650,000
Estimated coupon liability 1,650,000

CUSTOMERS LOYALTY PROGRAM
Many entities use a customer loyalty program to build brand loyalty, retain their valuable
customers and of course, increase sales volume.
The customer loyalty program is generally designed to reward customers for past purchases and
to provide them with incentives to make further purchases.
If a customer buys goods or services, the entity grants the customer award credits often described
as “points”.
The entity can redeem the “points” by distributing to the customer free or discounted goods or
services.
A customer loyalty program operates in a variety of ways.
Customers may be required to accumulate a specified minimum number of award credits or
“points” before they can be redeemed.
Measurement
An entity shall account for the award credits as a separately component of the initial sale
transaction.
In other words, the granting of award credits is effectively accounted for as a future delivery of
goods or services.
IFRS 15, paragraph 74, provides that an entity shall allocate the transaction price to each
performance obligation identified in a contract on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.
In other words, the fair value of the consideration received with respect to the initial sale shall be
allocated between the award credits and the sale based on relative stand-alone selling price.
The stand-alone selling price is the price at which an entity would sell a promised good or service
separately to a customer.
Recognition
The consideration allocated to the award credits is initially recognized as deferred revenue and
subsequently recognized as revenue when the award credits are redeemed.
The amount of revenue recognized shall be based on the number of award credits that have been
redeemed relative the total number expected to be redeemed.
The estimated redemption rate is assessed each period. Changes in the total number of expected to
be redeemed do not affect the total consideration for the award credits.

Instead, the changes in the total number of award credits expected to be redeemed shall be reflected
in the amount of revenue recognized in the current and future periods.
In other words, the calculation of revenue to be recognized in any one period is made on a
“cumulative basis” in order to reflect the changes in estimate.
Illustration:
An entity, a grocery retailer, operates a customer loyalty program.
The entity grants program members loyalty points when they spend a specified amount of
groceries.
Program members can redeem the points for further groceries. The points have no expiry date.
The sales during 2020 amounted to P9,000,000 based on stand-alone selling price.
During 2020, 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 P100.
On December 31, 2020 4,000 points have been redeemed in exchange for groceries.
In 2021, management revised expectations and now expects that 90% or 9,000 points will be
redeemed altogether
During 2021, the entity redeemed 4,100 points. In 2022, a further 900 points are redeemed.
Management continues to expect that only 9,000 points will ever be redeemed, meaning, no more
points will be redeemed after 2022.

WARRANTY
Home appliances like television sets, stereo sets, refrigerators, and the like are often sold under
guarantee or warranty to provide free repair service or replacement during a specified period if the
products are defective.
Such entity policy may involve significant costs of the part of the entity if the products sold prove to
be defective in the future within the specified period of time.
PAS 37, paragraph 14, provides that a provision shall be recognized as liability in the financial
statement under the following conditions:
a. The entity has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of past event.
It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits would be
b. required to settle the obligation.
c. The amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Past event
The past event, often referred to as the obligating event, must have occurred.
The obligating event in this case is the sale of the product which gives rise to a constructive
obligation.

Probable outflow resources
Reliable estimate
The amount recognized as the warranty provision should be the best estimate of the expenditure to
settle the present obligation.
Accrual approach
The accrual approach has the soundest theoretical support because it properly matches cost with
revenue.
When actual warranty cost is subsequently incurred and paid, the entry is:
At a certain date, the estimated is reviewed to determine its reasonableness and accuracy. The actual
warranty cost is analyzed to validate the original estimate.
Any difference between estimate and actual cost is a change in estimate and therefore treated
currently or prospectively, if necessary.

Thus, if the actual cost exceeds the estimate, the difference is charged to warranty expense as
follows:
If the actual cost is less than the estimate, the difference is an adjustment to warranty expense as
follows:
Illustration:
An entity sells 1,000 units of television sets at P9,000 each for cash. Each television set is under
warranty for one year.
The entity has estimated from past experience that warranty cost will probably average P500 per unit
and that only 60% of the units sold will be returned for repair.

The statement of financial position at the end of the year would report estimated warranty liability of
P120,000 as a current liability.
The income statement for the year would show warranty expense of P300,000
If the warranty runs over a period of more than one year, a portion of the estimated warranty liability
shall be reported as current liability and the remaining portion as noncurrent liability.
In other words, the warranty cost expected to be incurred within one year is classified as current and
the balance as noncurrent.
The expense as incurred approach is the approach of expensing warranty cost only when actually
incurred.
This approach is justified on the basis of expediency when warranty cost is not very substantial or
when the warranty period is relatively short.
The actual warranty cost of P180,000 is simply recorded by debiting warranty expense and crediting
cash.

An entity sells refrigerators that carry a 2-year warranty against defects. The sales and warranty
repairs are made evenly throughout the year.
Based on past experience, the entity projects an estimated warranty cost as a percentage of sales as

Testing the accuracy of warranty liability
On December 31, 2021, the estimated warranty liability account may be analyzed based on the 4%
and 10% estimate to determine whether the actual warranty costs approximate the estimate.
Thus, the first contract under a 2-year warranty of the sales made on January 1, 2020 will be within
January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and the second contract year will be within January 1, 2021
to December 31, 2021.
The first contract year under a 2-year warranty of the sales made on July 1, 2020 will be within July
1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, and the second contract year will be July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022

Sale warranty
When products are sold, the customers are entitled to the usual manufacturer's warranty during a
certain period.
However, the seller may offer an "extended warranty" on the product sold but with additional cost.
In such a cash, the sale of product with the usual warranty is recorded separately from the sale of
extended warranty.
The amount received from the sale of the extended warranty is recognized initially as deferred
revenue and subsequently amortized using straight line over the life of the warranty contract.
However, if costs are expected to be incurred in performing services under the extended warranty
contract, revenue is recognized in proportion to the costs to be incurred annually.
Illustration
An entity sold a product for P3,000,000. The regular warranty period for the product is two years.
The entity sold an additional warranty of two years at a cost of P60,000.
The extended warranty contract starts only after the expiration of the regular two-year warranty
period.
If the costs are incurred evenly, the unearned warranty revenue is amortized at the end of the third
year as:
