Case 4. Long-Term Installment Note Receivable (Stated Interest Rate is
Lower than the Market Rate of Interest)
On January 1, 2022, ABC Manufacturing sold a tract of land
that originally cost P400,000. ABC received a P600,000 note as
payment for the land. The note is payable in three annual installments
of P200,000 beginning December 31, 2022, plus interest at the rate of
4% based on the outstanding balance. On January 1, 2022, the
prevailing interest rate for a similar obligation is 10%.
If a cash price for the land is determinable at the date of the
sale, the cash price is the selling price and, consequently, the note's
present value. Thus, ABC Manufacturing should compute an imputed
interest rate. Otherwise, the selling price is the note's fair value, which
is the present value of all future collections (principal and interest)
discounted at the prevailing interest rate for similar notes, as illustrated
here.
The computation of the present value of the note on January 1,
2022, is as follows:

On January 1, 2022, ABC Manufacturing sold a tract of land

14% based on the outstanding balance. On January 1, 2022, the
prevailing interest rate for a similar obligation is 10% :

The given case is similar to Case 4, except that the rate stated
on the face of the note exceeds the market rate of interest. The
computed amortized cost at the date of initial recognition would result
in an amount higher than the face of the note, resulting in a premium

, MEASUREMENT SUBSEQUENT
TO INITIAL RECOGNITION
Notes and accounts receivable meet the IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments requirements for the financial assets to be classified a8
measured at amortized cost. The two conditions are:
(a) the financial asset is held within the enterprises
business model, whose objective is to hold assets 10
collect contractual cash flows; and
(b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise
specified dates to cash flows that are ym

Accounts receivable that are granted within the entity’s usual
credit terms are not generally discounted to their present value because
any amount of the discount or interest is usually immaterial,
Impairment of Receivables
Almost invariably, some receivables will prove uncollectible
such that an amount of accounts or notes receivable must tbe
recognized as an expense in profit or loss. ‘This expense ie called
impairment loss, more commonly called uncollectible accounts or ba
debts.
There are two methods of accounting for uncollectible accounts:
the direct write-off method and the allowance method.
The direct write-off method recognizes impairment loss or bad
debt expense by crediting the receivables account directly. The entry to
recognize impairment on accounts receivable is
Bad Debts Expense (or Uncollectible Accounts
Expense or Impairment Loss) 20
Accounts Receivable (or Notes Receivable) voc
Some accounts which have been previously written off are
unexpectedly recovered or collected. In such a case, the entity shall
reinstate the account and record the collection’ as usual. Thus, to
record recovery under the direct-write-off method, the entries are
Accounts Receivable 300

The direct write-off method is the only method allowed for
income tax purposes. On the other hand, the allowance ened

Under the allowance method, the write-off of an uncollectible

Simplified Approach and General Approach to Measuring and
Recognizing Expected Credit Loss
IFRS 9 presents two models for measuring and assessing
expected credit loss (ECL): the simplified and general approaches.
Simplified Approach
IFRS 9 requires a simplified approach for trade receivables of
contract assets with no significant financing component (SFC) arising
from the IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts teh Cees Tikewise
entities may also choose as their accounting policy the ECL simplified
approach for receivables and contract assets with SFC arising from the
application of IFRS, 15 and for lease receivables recognized under IFRS
1 A modem terminology for this account i i
or simply Loss Allowance. 's Allowance for Expected Credit Los*
96Chapter 2 - Receivables
16 Leases. Under the simplified approach, an entity measures its
expected credit loss without applying the three stages under the general
approach. The simplified approach requires an entity to measure
impairment loss based on lifetime expected credit loss of financial
assets. It seems that IFRS 9 considers the collection period of the trade
receivables to be generally within twelve months or shorter; hence, there
may be no need for the more complicated stages 1, 2, and 3 under the
general approach.
To illustrate, assume that on April 1, 2022, ABC Manufacturing
wrote off an account of its customer, Mr. X, in the amount of P25,000,
which has been overdue for several years. Subsequently, on July 5,
2022, ABC recovered and collected the account of Mr. X. Journal
entries for the write-off and subsequent recovery of the account are as
follows:
2022
Apr. 1 Allowance for Expected Credit Loss 25,000
Accounts Receivable - Mr. X 25,000
Write off an uncollectible account
July 5 Accounts Receivable - Mr. X 25,000
Allowance for Expected Credit Loss 25,000
Reinstatement of the account of
Mr. X previously written off
5 Cash 25,000
Accounts Receivable - Mr. X 25,000
Collection of an account recovered
At year-end, the entity must estimate the amount of accounts
receivable that may prove uncollectible and prepare the following
adjusting entry:
Impairment Loss ~ Accounts Receivable aoc
Allowance for Expected Credit Loss 300
Lifetime expected credit loss on AR
Sometimes, the allowance for expected credit Joss may result in
a debit balance before the year-end adjustment. This debit balance may
indicate that there have been excessive write-offs during the period, and
the company's previous estimate may not be adequate. In such a case,
the company has to review the basis of estimating its expected credit
loss and should bring its uncollectible accounts to the appropriate
balance at year-end based on the most reasonable estimate. An error in
making such previous estimates is not considered an accounting error,
and changing the basis for estimating the expected credit loss is not

recoverable amount.
General Approach
The general approach to ECL applies to all other financial assets
within the scope of IFRS 9.
The new IFRS 9 Financial Instruments provides a significant
change in the measurement of impairment losses on an entity's
financial assets. IFRS 9 adopts a model that requires an entity to
recognize expected credit losses at all times and-to update its estimate
of expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect the changes in
the credit risk of financial instruments.
IFRS 9 requires an entity to measure its expected credit losses
not nécessarily based on a loss event but on reasonable and
supportable information available without undue cost and effort,
including past experiences, present conditions, and future expectations.
The IFRS 9 moves from the incurred loss model (under IAS 39) to the
more prudent “expected credit loss” model. The IFRS 9 model requires
three stages in impairment measurement and recognition:
(a) Stage 1
Recognize in profit or loss, through an allowance
account, an impairment loss based on 12-month
expected credit losses for receivables that are not credit
impaired and with no significant increase in eredit riski
(b) Stage 2‘hapter 2 - Receivables
* significant financial difficulty of the borrower;
a8 ican of contract, such as default or Selene
* grant by the holder (the entity holding the financial asset) of
concession to the issuer that the former would not otherwise
grant under normal circumstances;
* the’ probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy
proceedings or financial reorganization; and hs
* > the disappearance of an active market for securities that
were previously traded.
In stage 3, the entity shall measure the impairment loss on
individual receivables as the excess of the receivable’s carrying amount
(net of the loss allowance or allowance for uncollectible accounts) over
the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the
historical or original effective interest rate.
Illustration of Accounting for ECL under General Approach
Case A - Stage 1, 12-month credit risk (no significant credit risk)
On January 1, 2022, ABC Company lent P500,000 to XYZ
Company, collectible after 5 years but interest at 9% is due every
December 31. ABC collected the interest’on December 31, 2022.
Based on the credit information available for XYZ Company on
December 31, 2022, ABC determined that there is 2% probability of
default for the next 12 months and expected to collect only 95% of the
loan principal.
On December 31, 2022 (after collecting the interest)
Carrying amount of the loan P500,000
Probability of collection 95%
Future cash flows P475,000

In addition to the entries for the loan and interest, ABC shall
prepare the following as.an adjusting entry on December 31, 2022.
