Revenue from contracts with customers. Entity X sells lots and constructs houses. Entity X uses a standard contract with its customers. A customer who purchases a lot must also purchase a house from Entity X. The customer is prohibited from engaging another contractor to build the house.

The houses are not pre-built. The customer chooses a design from five designs, all of which are original and standard designs of Entity X. Minor modifications to the chosen design are permitted; however, a modification should not deviate from the main theme of the house designs in the subdivision. Any design modification should be made and accepted by Entity X and the customer prior to the commencement of construction activities. During construction, Entity X retains control over the construction activity and any unfinished structure built on the lot. It takes a standard time of 1 year to construct a house.

Each contract requires a non-refundable down payment of 20% of the fixed contract price. The contract price covers the payment for the lot, the design, and the construction of the house. The contract price varies depending on the type of design chosen by the customer and any minor modifications made to that design. The balance is payable in monthly installments over a period of 12 months. Entity X retains the legal title over the lot and the house until the customer fully pays the contract price.

Each contract is non-cancellable. In case the customer defaults in paying at least 2 monthly installments, Entity X shall forfeit in its favor the down payment and all installment payments made by the customer. In addition, Entity X forfeits in its favor the lot, any unfinished structure built on the lot, and any unused materials purchased for the construction of the house. In case Entity X fails to construct the house in accordance with the agreed specifications, Entity X shall make the necessary remediation at its own cost.

The customer obtains control over the lot and the house (i.e. the customer can start occupying the property) 1 year after the signing of the contact, at which time the construction is expected to be complete. This applies even if the customer has not yet paid in full the contract price. In case of delay in the completion of the house, Entity X shall pay a penalty of 2% of the contract price for every month of delay. The penalty shall be deducted from any existing balance of the customer.

Entity X does not sell lots, house designs, and houses separately. In the past, Entity X has been able to resell forfeited lots and houses to other customers without much modification because the designs of the houses are standard.

Based on independent appraisal of properties in neighboring subdivisions, the current fair values of similar lots, house designs and houses are as follows:

Lot P1,620,000 House design 270,000

House 3,510,000

On April 1, 20x1, Entity X enters into a standard contract with Customer Y. The contract price is P6,000,000. At contract inception, Entity X expects to finish the construction of the house within 1 year, in accordance with the agreement. In addition, Entity X expects that the customer will pursue the contract and will not default in its payments.

As of December 31, 20x1, a survey of the work performed reveals that the construction work is 80% complete. Entity expects that, upon completion, the constructed house will meet the specifications in the contract.
