Legal fees of PhP 50 000 were incurred during July 2020. The legal process was finalized on July 31, 2020, when Bee was then required to pay PhP 800 000 to purchase the rights, including PhP 80 000 in refundable VAT. During the July factory shut-down: averhead costs of PhP 40 000 were incurred; and significant market share was lost with the result that Bee's total sales over August and September was PhP 20 000 but its expenses were PhP 50 000, resulting in a loss of PhP 30 000.

The case is in final appeal and legal counsel advised that it is probable that Baron Company will prevail and be awarded P2,500,000.

- CASE 3On January 1, 20x1, Qwerty, Inc. entered into a construction contract with an owner to build an oil refinery. The oil refinery is highly customized to the owner’s specifications, and changes to these specifications by the owner are expected over the contract term. The oil refinery does not have an alternative use to the contractor. Nonrefundable, interim progress payments are required as a mechanism to finance the contract. The owner can cancel the contract at any time (with a termination penalty); any work in process is the property of the owner. As a result, another entity would not need to reperform the tasks performed to date. Physical possession and title do not pass until completion of the contract. The contractor determines that the contract has a single performance obligation to build the refinery. The preponderance of evidence suggests that the contractor’s performance creates an asset that the customer controls and control are being transferred over time.
