, PART 0: Introduction
1. Review basic techniques
Basic accounting
− Link between statement of financial position (also called balance sheet) and income statement.
− Content of reserves and retained earnings.
− Journal entries for all common transactions (depreciation, changes in inventory, sale of goods, purchase of
merchandise) including year end transactions (deferred and accrued income and costs, distribution of profit,
taxes…).
− Any basic accounting book (in any language) is ok to revise basic principles of bookkeeping.

Pro rata allocation (proportionate allocation, regel van 3)
Pro rate refers to a proportional allocation. In accounting this means the allocation of revenues, expenses, assets,
liabilities, or other items among participants, products, entities based on each participant’s, product’s, entity’s
proportional share of the whole.

Example: billing
A customer prepays for services not yet provided in the amount of $900, and then cancels service 10 days into the
30-day service period. Fees paid for services that are not delivered are returned to the customer.

How much revenue was earned by the seller, how much of the prepayment should be returned?

→ The seller calculates the amount it has earned as 10 service days divided by the 30-day service period, or
$300, and returns the remaining $600 to the customer. This is a pro rata distribution based on the passage of
time.

Example: cost accounting
A company uses a standard costing system to account for its inventory and has an unfavourable variance of
$100,000 that it must allocate between the cost of goods sold and ending inventory.

There is $200,000 of ending inventory, and there were $800,000 of cost of goods sold during the period.

How much of the unfavourable variance is allocated to the cost of goods sold and how much to the ending
inventory?




→ This is a pro rata distribution based on recorded cost.

Example
A telecom company sells a telephone together with data services for CU100. The telephone is sold separately for
CU 60, the data services are sold separately for CU50. IFRS 15 requires allocation of the total selling price based
on stand-alone selling prices.

How much of the CU 100 is allocated to the telephone? How much to the data services?
