Revenue from contracts with customers

Step (1) Determine if the overall contract is profitable

To calculate whether a contract is profitable, consider:

Contract price x

Less

Costs incurred to date (x)

Expected costs to complete (x)
––––
Overall contract profit/loss x/(x)
––––

Watch out for LOSS making contracts. The loss will need to be
recognised immediately. See step (3).

For contracts were progress is uncertain, revenue = recoverable
costs. Therefore, no profit can be recognised as per IFRS 15
