  • The third step in the five-step revenue recognition approach is to: 3. Determine the transaction price

  • The fourth step in the five-step revenue recognition approach is to: 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

    Because control of the computer was transferred to the customer on that date.

  • According to IFRS 15, when must revenue be recognised if it is not recognised over time?

    Revenue must be recognised at a point in time.

  • What is the primary condition for an entity to recognise revenue at a point in time under IFRS 15?

    The entity must be able to determine when control over goods or assets supplied has been transferred.

  • Control of an asset refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits (inflows or savings in outflows) from the asset.
