OVERVIEW
3
✓ MFRS 141 Agriculture sets out the accounting for
agricultural activity –
“the transformation of biological assets (living plants
and animals) into agricultural produce (harvested
product of the entity's biological assets)”
✓ The standard generally requires biological assets to be
measured at fair value less costs to sell

Consumable biological assets are those that are to be harvested as


agricultural produce or sold as biological assets. Examples of
consumable biological assets are livestock intended for the
production of meat, livestock held for sale, fish in farms, crops such
as maize and wheat, produce on a bearer plant and trees being
grown for lumber.

normally assessed by measuring the significant physical attributes. 24

26 Answer 1
ITEMS CLASSIFICATION
i Fishes Fishes can be recognized as biological assets according to MFRS141 Agriculture
because it is it is living animal used in agricultural activity (breeding fishes for
sale)
ii Ponds Ponds can be recognized as an item of PPE according to MFRS116 because it
used in production of goods and services (involves in breeding activity)

iii Tractor Tractor can be recognized as an item of PPE according to MFRS116 because
it used in production of goods and services (involves in pond management)

iv Acquired patent Acquired patent can be recognized as Intangible Asset according to MFRS138
because it is an identifiable non monetary long term asset without physical
substance and it is involves in pond management.
v Durian trees Durian trees are living plants, can be recognized as PPE according to MFRS116
as it is bearer plant used in the production or supply of agricultural produce.
Durian trees are expected to bear durian fruits (agricultural produce) for more
than one year

MEASUREMENT
COSTS TO SELL : POINT-OF–SALE-COST
❑Costs that are necessary for a sale to occur but that otherwise
would not arise, including costs such as:
✓ commissions to brokers and dealers ( e.g. auctioneer fees),
✓ levies by regulatory agencies and commodity exchanges, and
✓ transfer taxes and duties.

❑ Costs that are incurred to get the assets to the market, such as
transport and other costs are excluded from ‘costs to sell’ since
they are deducted in determining the fair values .

29
Yusnaliza & Noor Saatila - UiTM Perak
30 MEASUREMENT
SUBSEQUENT EXPENDITURE
❑ The standard does not prescribe the accounting treatment for subsequent
expenditure for agricultural activity, either to capitalize them or to
expense off. Thus, MFRS 41 Agriculture is silent on this ISSUE.
❑ The entities need to apply their professional JUDGEMENTS to decide an
accounting policy CHOICE that best suits their entities
❑ The Basis for Conclusion related to MFRS 141 highlighted that it is not
necessary to make the rules about the subsequent expenditures in
agricultural activities, because biological assets need to be re-measured to
their fair value less cost to sell with all fair value changes in profit or loss.
Hence, the net effect in profit or loss is still the same but the presentation is
different .

Gains and Losses
Biological Asset
❑ Gain or loss on biological asset will arise
due to:
1. Changes in fair values (less costs to
sell) between reporting dates, and
2. Initial recognition of a biological asset at
fair value (less costs to sell), for example,
when a calf is born.
❑ All these gains and losses are recognised
as income and expenses respectively in the
statement of profit or loss for the period. 35
Yusnaliza & Noor Saatila - UiTM Perak
36 MEASUREMENT
Gains and Losses
Agricultural Produce
❑ Gain or loss will arise on initial recognition of the produce.
❑ The gain or loss is the fair value less costs to sell (point of sale costs). The
gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the period of
harvest.
❑ For examples :
✓ when rubber trees are tapped and harvested latex are collected
✓ When guavas and mangos are plucked
✓ When dairy cattle are milked
A reconciliation of changes in the carrying amount of biological assets between
the beginning and the end of the period is required under MFRS 141 para 50.

51 Example 4 : Accounting For Bearer Plants
Yus Plantation Bhd is engaged in the production of coconut water concentrate, virgin coconut oil, and coconut
milk. On January 2, 20x6, the entity purchase a 15-hectare coconut plantation in Bagan Datoh, Perak. The costs
associated with this acquisition are as follows:
Land RM10,000 000
Coconut tree RM5,000,000
TOTAL RM15,000,000
It is expected that these coconut trees will provide fruits for 12 years. On the reporting date (December 31, 20x6)
the company conducted an assessment and found no any signs of deterioration in value. The company uses Cost
Model on its subsequent measurement of PPE.

Required:
a. Explain the classification of coconut tree.
b. Show relevant journal entries and extract of Statement of Financial Position to account or both the land
coconut trees during 20x6?

51
52 Answer 4 (a)

Coconut Trees
The coconut tree is a living plant that meets the definition of bearer
plants as per MFRS 116. This is because the coconut tree:
a) is used in the production or supply of agricultural produce ;
production of coconut water concentrate, virgin coconut oil, and
coconut milk ;
b) is expected to bear produce for more than one period: will
provide fruits for 12 years ; and
c) has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural
produce.
Therefore, on 2 January 20x6, coconut tree will be recognized as PPE
and is measured initially at COST at RM5,000,000 .

55 CONSUMABLE OR BEARER ASSETS?

Biological assets fall into the following main categories:


❑ plants or animals; and
❑ consumable or bearer assets.

❑ Consumable assets are those which are to be harvested as agricultural produce


or sold as biological assets – that is, they will be consumed (for example wheat and
cattle for beef).

❑ Bearer assets are those which bear produce over their productive lives, which
exceeds one period. For example, grape vines, where the vine is the bearer asset
and the grapes are produce and dairy cows, where the cow is the bearer asset and
milk is the produce.
