Zenith plc sells a machine and a one-year maintenance contract to a customer for a total of $120,000. The standalone selling price of the machine is $100,000 and of the maintenance is $50,000. Both are distinct performance obligations. Under IFRS 15, what amount is allocated to the machine?

$80,000 is allocated to the machine. IFRS 15 allocates the transaction price in proportion to relative standalone selling prices, so the machine receives 100/150 of the $120,000 price, and the bundle discount is shared proportionately between machine and maintenance.

  1. A$100,000
  2. B$80,000Correct
  3. C$60,000
  4. D$120,000

Explanation

Total standalone selling prices are $150,000. The machine's share is 100/150 x $120,000 = $80,000. Allocating $100,000 would ignore the bundle discount, which must be spread proportionately across both obligations.
