Practice Activity 13.42 Accounting entries to reflect the progress of a contract

On 1 July 2016, a contractor signs a contract with a customer to build a power generating plant and a security house for ₦98,900. The entity can invoice the ₦98,900 on 31 July 2016. The power generating plant is to be delivered on 30 November 2016. The security house is to be completed on 31 October 2016.


The contract includes separate promises to transfer the power generating plant and a security house. This implies that the promises are separate performance obligations. ₦88,900 is allocated to the power generating plant and ₦10,000 is allocated to the security house. The entity recognises revenue after transferring the control of each promised good to the customer.


Required: Show the relevant entries necessary to reflect the contract’s progress.
