Expert Solution
Step 1

Contract: A contract is a legal agreement among two or several parties to perform some task and defines the roles and responsibilities of each party.
Performance obligation: An agreement in a contract to deliver goods and provide services till the specified period.
Transaction price: It refers to the price which a company is entitled to receive in exchange for services provided and goods delivered.
In this case, IFRS 15 is applied.

Step 2

IFRS 15 refers to the standard that established the principle for entities when a contract is made with the customer and reports information related to nature, timing, performance obligation, amount, and other specific details that are required for a contract agreement. By applying this, an entity comes to know about the consideration/revenue they are expected to be received in exchange for services provided and goods delivered. 
IFRS 15 has introduced five steps to recognize revenue:
First: Identification of contract with the customer
Second: Identification of performance obligation
Third: Determination of transferred price
Fourth: Allocation of transaction price based on relative stand-alone selling prices 
Fifth: Recognition of revenue when all four steps are completed.
