IAS 41: Agriculture Flashcards
IAS 41 shall be applied to account for the following when they relate to agricultural activity:
(1) Biological Assets (2) Agricultural Produce at the point of harvest (3) Gov’t Grants
IAS 41 does not apply to:
(1) Land related to agricultural activity and (2) Intangible Assets related to agri. Activity
Agricultural Produce is ___
Harvested product of the entity’s biological assets, only at the point of harvest
T/F: IAS 41 deals with the processing of agricultural produce after harvest
False. IAS 41 does not deal with that
Agricultural Activity
Management by an entity of the biological transformation and harvest of biological assets for sale or for conversion into agricultural produce or into addt’l biological assets
Biological Asset
Living animal/plant
Biological Transformation
Processes of growth, degeneration, production, and procreation that cause quali/quantitative changes in a biological asset
Harvest
Detachment of produce from a biological asset or the cessation of a biological asset’s life processes
Costs to Sell
Incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and income taxes
Common features of Agricultural Activity:
(1) Capability to Change [biological transformation] (2) Management of change [harvesting from unmanged sources such as ocea fishing and deforestation is not agricultural activity] (3) Measurement of change [change in quality or quantity brought about by biological transformation or harvest is measured and monitored]
Biological Transformation results in the following types of outcomes:
(1) Asset changes through (a) Growth [improvement in quality and quantity] (b) Degeneration [a decrease in quantity or quality] (c) Procreation [creation of additional living animal or plants] (2) Production of Agricultural Produce
Active Market:
(1) items traded within the market are Homogeneous (2) Willing Buyers and Sellers can normally be found at any time (3) Prices are available to the Public
Government Grants (From IAS 20)
Assistance by government in the form of transfers of resources to an entity in return for past/future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity
An entity shall Recognize a Biological Asset/Agricultural Produce when and only when:
(1) The entity Controls the asset as a result of past events (2) It is Probable that future econ benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity and (3) the FV or cost of the asset can be Measured Reliably
A Biological Asset shall be measured on Initial Recognition and at the End of each reporting period at ______
FV less costs to sell, except where the FV cannot be measured reliably
Agricultural Produce harvested from an entity’s biological assets shall be measured at ____
FV less costs to sell at the point of harvest
T/F: The FV of a Biological Asset or Agricultural Produce is adjusted because of the existence of a contract.
False. Even if the price in the contract is different from the FV less costs to sell, the measurement is still at the latter
The quoted price in an active market is the appropriate basis for determining the FV of the Biological Asset or Agricultural Produce if:
An active market exists for that Biological Asset or Agri. Produce
