17 December 2009An entity may purchase inventories on deferred settlement terms. When the arrangement effectively contains a financing element, that element, for example a difference between the purchase price for normal credit terms and the amount paid, is recognised as interest expense over the period of the financing.
Same concept is used in IAS 16 PPE and IAS 2 inventory.
can anyone give clerification and practical example on word "normal credit term" ??
