The changes in the contract asset and the contract liability balances primarily result from the timing difference between the satisfaction of performance obligations and the payments collected from customers.  Significant changes of contract assets and liabilities recognized resulting from product and service bundling were as follows:

The Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for receivables.  Contract assets will be reclassified to trade receivables when the corresponding invoice is billed to the client. Contract assets have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables of the same types of contracts.  Therefore, the Company concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables can be applied to the contract assets.

Revenue recognized for the period that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the period was as follows:

The Company considered the past experience and the default clauses in the telecommunications service contract and believes the commissions and equipment subsidy paid for obtaining contracts are expected to be recoverable; therefore, incremental costs of obtaining contracts are recognized as an asset.  Amortization expense of incremental costs of obtaining contracts for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 were $1,941 million and $1,173 million, respectively.

 

d.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations for non-cancellable telecommunications service contracts that are unsatisfied is $35,634 million.  The Company recognizes revenue when service is provided over contract terms. The Company expects to recognize such revenue of $20,336 million, $11,971 million and $3,327 million in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.  The variable consideration collected from customers on nonrecurring basis resulting from exceeded usage from monthly fee and revenue recognized for contracts that the Company has a right to consideration from customers in the amount corresponding directly with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance completed to date have been excluded from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations.

As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations for non-cancellable project business contracts that are unsatisfied is $23,159 million.  The Company recognizes revenues when the project business contract is completed and accepted by customers.  The Company expects to recognize such revenue of $14,183 million, $5,373 million and $3,603 million in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.  Project business contracts whose expected duration are less than a year have been excluded from the aforementioned disclosure.
