(a) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract
that the entity can specifically identify (for example, costs relating
to services to be provided under renewal of an existing contract or
costs of designing an asset to be transferred under a specific
contract that has not yet been approved);
(b) the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be
used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance
obligations in the future; and
(c) the costs are expected to be recovered.
96 For costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are within the
scope of another Standard, an entity shall account for those costs in accordance
with those other Standards.
97 Costs that relate directly to a contract (or a specific anticipated contract) include
any of the following:
(a) direct labour (for example, salaries and wages of employees who provide
the promised services directly to the customer);
(b) direct materials (for example, supplies used in providing the promised
services to a customer);
(c) allocations of costs that relate directly to the contract or to contract
activities (for example, costs of contract management and supervision,
insurance and depreciation of tools and equipment used in fulfilling the
contract);
(d) costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract;
and
(e) other costs that are incurred only because an entity entered into the
contract (for example, payments to subcontractors).
98 An entity shall recognise the following costs as expenses when incurred:
(a) general and administrative costs (unless those costs are explicitly
chargeable to the customer under the contract, in which case an entity
shall evaluate those costs in accordance with paragraph 97);
(b) costs of wasted materials, labour or other resources to fulfil the contract
that were not reflected in the price of the contract;
(c) costs that relate to satisfied performance obligations (or partially
satisfied performance obligations) in the contract (ie costs that relate to
past performance); and
(d) costs for which an entity cannot distinguish whether the costs relate to
unsatisfied performance obligations or to satisfied performance
obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations)
