Toshiba is in the process of unloading its semiconductor business. They have decided to sell it to a consortium of investors consisting of Bain Capital, INCJ, Apple and Hynix. Instead of using cash off their own balance sheet, the consortium borrows $19,819,500,000 cash from several major banks to finance the deal. The consortium will try to use cashflow from the semiconductor/nand flash business they acquire from Toshiba to finance and pay down their debt over 5 years. The calculated loan amount was based off an interest rate of 9.5% of the total value of the loan (let’s make this part easy and not talk about compounding). They will make these payments in the following:

Wharf Real Estate Development Corporation

Total Revenue for the Project = HKD 8,412,300,000

Revenue and Net Income Using Percentage of Completion Method:

Amount in HKD in 000’s

Year

(a)

Costs

(b)

Costs incurred till date (c )

% of Completion of that year

(d) = b / Total Cost x 100

Revenue to be recognized

(e) = (d x total Revenue

Net Income

(f) = e-b

2018

3,453,000

3453000/6935000 x100

= 49.79%

8,412,300 x 49.79%

=4,188,484

4,188,484 – 3,453,000

=735,484

Completed Contact Method

Revenue in completed contract Method is recognized and recorded in the year in which contract is completed and hence in this case revenue and net income will be recognized in completeion year i.e year 2023.

Revenue and Net Income to be recognized from year 2018 to 2022 from this contract = HKD 0

Revenue to be recognized in 2023 = Total Contract Price = HKD 8,412,300,000

Net Income to be recognized in 2023 = Total Revenue – Total Cost

= 8,412,300,000 – 6,935,000,000 = HKD 1,477,300,000

If I were Wharf I would have choosen percentage of completion Method because

Completed Contract Method Can be choosen in cases where contract is for 1 or 2 years . However in the current case where contract’s estimated tenure is 6 years percentage of completion method is more appropriate.
