Rajah Construction entered into a fixed-price contract with Fajar Developers on January 2, 2018 to build a low-rise residential apartment for $15,000,000. The construction is expected to be completed by 2020.

Rajah seeks your help to identify the costs that qualify as “contract costs” under IFRS 15. In particular, the company isn’t clear what qualifies as “incremental costs of obtaining a contract” and “fulfillment costs.” Rajah intends to recognize the incremental costs as deferred costs which is amortized over the period of the contract. The table below shows the expenditures incurred by Rajah in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
