Answer 1

1.

As per IAS 41, A biological asset is a living animal or plant.

By applying the above definition, Land under trees and Roads in the forest are not biological assets.

Thus, In the statement of the financial position, The total amount of the forest assets
should be classified as biological assets is P5,100,000 of freestanding trees.

Land under trees and Roads in the forest are to be dealt under IAS 16 - Property, Plant, and Equipment.

2.

measurement of the coffee beans inventory on December 31, 2014, = P3,500,000

Produce grown on a bearer plant is a biological asset so coffee beans are biological assets.

As per IAS 41(12), a biological asset shall be measured on initial recognition and at the end of each reporting period at its fair value less costs to sell. So, Fair value less costs to sell of P3,500,000 is the initial measurement value of coffee beans on December 31, 2014.

3.

b is correct. P980,000 to be capitalized.

Here, the cash equivalent price is to be taken as the cost of the machine. The additional amount of P150,000 (P1,100,000 - P950,000) is interest for deferred payments and should not be capitalized because the machine is operational when it is acquired. Amount incurred for operationalizing the machinery at the installation stage is to be capitalized.

Based on the above logic, answers a,c and d are incorrect.

4.

Total Consideration paid = 200,000 * 30 = P6,000,000

Fair value of Fin's corporation assets (5,000,000 + 600,000) = P5,600,000

Goodwill = 6,000,000 - 5,600,000 = P400,000

P400,000 to be reported as goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet.
