Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a construction business should use a Joint Venture (JV) agreement or a partnership deed when embarking on a new project with partners. It delves into the accounting implications, specifically how to record the new project in the organisation's books, whether as a new standalone project or by maintaining separate accounts. The advice leans towards following construction contract standards for revenue recognition and then applying JV or partnership profit-sharing methods, referencing AS standards and equity method for JVs.

Construction contract standard must be followed firat during revenue recognition. Then partnership or jv method of profit sharing techniques must be used. AS standards must be there for jv. If you can't find it then let me know. Because jv, associates treatments are different in business combinations. Please folow that.

I believe, if the expected profit is 500 you calculate stage of completion besed on your profit, say, 250. This is for joint ventures since partnerships have the statements. Jv uses equity method of consolidation as an investment. It's bettwr to follow the standard

Wait for few more days, I'm publishing consolidation of subsidiaries, associates, JV, J operations in a single model with all statements

Hi Friends,

Q1;
ABC LTD has recently sold two hydraulic components to long-known local customer. The hydraulic components were sold for an amount of INR 1.200.000. Contribution margin on sale were 40%. Unfortunately, the included metal hoses were filled with rust, and the customer therefore could not accept the components. It was agreed to credit the sale. Please book the credit invoice.

Q3;
ABC LTD has an old overdue receivable of INR 1.000.000 from a customer, for which a provision for bad debts of INR 1.000.000 have been made some months ago. The customer has now been declared bankrupt, and half a year later ABC LTD receives INR 400.000 from the estate. Please explain how to present this in the monthly report.

Q4;
Every month inventory must be calculated and presented in the monthly report. Please explain all relevant steps in calculating the correct inventory value to be presented in the monthly report.

Kindly help me Friends.

Thanks in advance

If it is JV, like you said, one has to maintain project account in both the companies. Because only profit of JV is accounted for under equity method. It is easier if it is partnership as the statements clearly show all project Spenser at one place and profits can be apportioned. I will be glad if others give their opinion,
