A financing transaction arises when, for example, an entity provides interest-free credit to the buyer or accepts a note receivable bearing a below-market interest rate from the buyer as consideration for the sale of goods.

A rate of interest that discounts the nominal amount of the instrument to the expected future cash sales price of the goods or services

On 1.1.2016, XYZ Sdn Bhd sold goods for RM2,000,000 on two years interest-free credit when the current cash sales price of the goods was RM1,652,893. Since there is a difference between the cash price and the amount due under the two years of interest-free credit arrangement, the arrangement is in effect a financing transaction as well as the sale of goods. How is the difference between the cash price and the amount due in two years treated under MPERS?

XYZ must recognise the difference as deferred income in liability

How should the transaction be recognised in financial year (FY) 2016 and 2017?

The revenue arising from the sale of goods is the current cash selling price of RM1,652,893 (i.e. the present value of the future payment) and finance income of RM347,107 is recognised for FY2016. There is no recognition for FY2017

In some cases, as part of a sales transaction, an entity grants its customer a loyalty award or points that the customer may redeem in the future for free or discounted goods or services. In this case, the entity shall account for the award credits as a separately identifiable component of the initial sales transaction. How is this to be done?

Section 25 of MPERS prescribes the treatment of borrowing costs, whereby all borrowing costs are to be recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the period they are incurred. There is no option, whatsoever, for capitalisation. How is this different as compared to the treatment under the PERS framework?

There is no difference between the treatment of borrowing costs under PERS and MPERS

Previously under PERS, the benchmark treatment was to capitalise all borrowing costs

Previously under PERS, while the benchmark treatment was to recognise all borrowing costs as an expense when incurred, there was an allowed alternative treatment. The alternative treatment permits the capitalisation of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset

Previously under PERS, while the benchmark treatment was to recognise all borrowing costs as an expense when incurred, there was an allowed alternative treatment. The alternative treatment permits the capitalisation of borrowing costs only in the case of property development activities
