Question:

A company that uses International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) entered into a three-year construction project with a total contract price (all figures in thousands) of $5,300 and expected costs of $4,400. At inception, the outcome of the contract could not be reliably measured, but the company did expect to recover its costs. Actual results are shown in the following table: 

The amount of revenue (in thousands) the company recognized in Year 2 was closest to: 
A. $0.
B. $2,409. 
C. $2,000. 
 

 Answer = C 

Under IFRS, if the outcome of the contract cannot be reliably measured, but the company expects to recover its costs, then revenue may be recognized to the extent of the contract costs incurred. In Year 2, the costs incurred were $2,000 thousand, thus, the revenue would also be $2,000 thousand and the gross profit would be $0.
