respect to the initial sale shall be ALLOCATED between the award
credits and the sale based on relative stand-alone selling price.
RECOGNITION
The consideration allocated to the award credits is INITIALLY
recognized as DEFERRED REVENUE and SUBSEQUENTLY recognized
as REVENUE when the award credits are redeemed.
The amount of REVENUE to be recognized shall be based on the
number of award credits that have been REDEEMED relative to the
total number expected to be redeemed. It is also made on a
“CUMULATIVE BASIS” in order to reflect the changes in estimate.
Problem2-13.Arianne Company, a grocery retailer, operates a customer
loyalty program. The entity grants program members loyalty points when they
spend a specified amount on groceries. Program members can redeem the
points for groceries. The points have no expiry date.

price. During the year, the entity granted 10,000 points. But management
expected that only 80% or 8,000 points will be redeemed. The stand alone
selling price of each loyalty point was estimated at P100.
On December 31, 2021 4,800 points have been redeemed. In 2022,
management revised its expectations and now expected that 90% or 9,000
points will be redeemed altogether. During 2022, the entity redeemed 2,400
points.
