FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT/INVENTORY/ BIOLOGICAL ASSET

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

The objective of IFRS 13 is to provide a single source of guidance for fair value measurement, where it is required by a reporting
standard rather than being spread throughout several reporting standards. IFRS 13 will improve comparability between the many
standards that require fair value measurement or fair value disclosures.

Definition
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price)

Fair value may be required to be measured on a recurring basis or a non-recurring basis.


Recurring and non-recurring basis
Recurring basis

Fair value on a recurring basis arises when a reporting standards requires fair value to be measured on an
ongoing basis. An example of this is IAS 40 Investment Property.

Non-recurring basis

Fair value on a non-recurring basis arises when a reporting standard requires fair value to be measured at fair
value only in certain specified circumstances. This would be apply, for example, with the application of IFRS 3
Business Combination where items are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition.

Exclusions from IFRS 13


IFRS 13 does not apply to IFRS 2 Share-based payment transactions, IFRS 16 Leases or to situations where different
measurements are required, such as net realizable value (IAS 2 Inventories) or value in use (IAS 36 Impairment of assets)
which may be required by some reporting standards.

Transaction price vs Fair value at initial recognition

The transaction price is the price paid to acquire an asset or price receives to assume a liability. Transaction price is also
called the entry price.

The fair value is the price that would be receive to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is also called the
exit price.

Note:
Transaction price (Entry price) Fair value (Exit price)
Asset Price paid (Buyer) Price receive (Seller)
Liability Receive to assume liability Paid to transfer liability

• Current cost and historical cost are entry values (i.e., they reflect prices in acquiring an asset or incurring a liability),
whereas fair value, value in use and fulfilment value are exit values (i.e., they reflect prices in selling or using an
asset or transferring or fulfilling a liability).

In many cases, the transaction price is equal to fair value. However, in case where the transaction price differs from the fair
value at initial recognition, the difference is recognized as gain or loss in profit or loss, unless another IFRS specifies otherwise.

Inputs based on bid and ask prices

If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price (eg an input from a dealer market), the price
within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances shall be used to measure fair value
regardless of where the input is categorised within the fair value hierarchy(ie Level 1, 2 or 3;). The use of bid prices for
asset positions and ask prices for liability positions is permitted, but is not required.

This IFRS does not preclude the use of mid-market pricing or other pricing conventions that are used by market participants
as a practical expedient for fair value measurements within a bid-ask spread.

Requirement on fair value measurement

PFRS 13 requires an entity to determine the following when measuring fair value:
a. The particular asset or liability being measured.
b. The market in which an orderly transaction would take place for the asset or liability.
c. The appropriate valuation technique(s) to be used in measuring fair value.
d. For a non-financial asset, the highest and best use of the asset and whether the asset is used in combination with
other assets or on a stand-alone basis.

Page 1 of 38
Fair Value Hierarchy (IFRS 13)

IFRS 13 establishes a hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as
follows:
• Level 1 inputs comprises quoted price (observable) in an active markets for identical assets and
liabilities at the measurement date. This is regarded as providing the most reliable evidence of fair value
and is likely to be used without adjustment.
• Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than those included within Level 1 above, which are
observable directly or indirectly. This may included quoted price for similar (not identical) assets or
liabilities in active markets, or prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets.
Typically, they are likely to require some degree of adjustment to arrive at a fair value measurement.
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability, based upon the best information
available, including information that may be reasonably available relating to market participants.

Note: PFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement:


Level 1 Quoted price/Active market for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Observable input /Active market for similar (not identical) assets or liabilities
Observable input /Inactive market for Similar or identical assets or liabilities
Level 3 Unobservable input

The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or
comparable (ie similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business

The cost approach reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset (often
referred to as current replacement cost).

The income approach converts future amounts (eg cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (ie discounted)
amount. When the income approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future
amounts.

Measurement

When measuring fair value an entity shall take into account the characteristics of the asset or liability. Such characteristics
include, for example, the following:
• The condition and location of the asset and
• Restrictions, if any, on the sale or use of the asset

An entity shall measure the fair value of an asset or a liability using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The fair value of an asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs (transaction costs will be accounted for in
accordance with other IFRS Standards).

The market
Fair value measurement requires assumptions based on current market conditions. It assumes that the transaction to sell the
asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
a. In the principal market for the asset or liability or
b. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

Principal market is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability. Different entities can
have different principal markets, as the access of an entity to some market can be restricted.

The most advantageous market is the market that maximizes the amount that would be received to sell the asset or
minimizes the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport
costs.

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 2 of 38
The price
The market price (either in the principal or most advantageous market) used in measuring fair value is not adjusted for any
transaction costs, but is adjusted for any transport costs.

Fair value is computed as follows:


Market price (in principal or most advantageous market) X
Less: Transport cost (x)
Fair value X

Transaction costs are costs to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset
or liability that are directly attributable to the disposal of the asset or the transfer of the liability and meet both of the following
criteria:
a. They result directly from and are essential to that transaction.
b. They would not have been incurred by the entity had the decision to sell the asset or transfer the liability not been
made. (Similar to costs to sell as defined in IFRS 5)

Transaction costs are not characteristic of an asset or a liability; rather, they are specific to a transaction and will differ
depending on how an entity enters into a transaction for the asset or liability.

Transactions costs are similar to “cost to sell”, and are accounted for in accordance with the other IFRSs.

Transaction costs do not include transport costs. If location is a characteristic of the asset (e.g. for a commodity) the price in
the principal (or most advantageous) market is reduced by the transport costs when measuring fair value.

• Transport costs are cost that would be incurred to transport an asset from its current location to its principal (or most
advantageous) market.

Disclosure
An entity shall disclose information that helps users of its financial statements assess both of the following:
• For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis in the statement of
financial position after initial recognition, the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop those measurements.
• For recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, the effect of the measurements on profit or
loss or other comprehensive income for the period.

The disclosures required by this IFRS are not required for the following:
(a) plan assets measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits;
(b) retirement benefit plan investments measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 26 Accounting and Reporting by Retirement
Benefit Plans; and
(c) assets for which recoverable amount is fair value less costs of disposal in accordance with IAS 36.

INVENTORY

Scope

In summary, inventories include the following:


• Assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business (finished goods)
• Assets in the production process for sale in the ordinary course of business (work in process)
• Materials and supplies that are consumed in production (raw materials; factory or manufacturing supplies).
• Purchased subcomponents
• Materials or supplies to be consumed in the rendering of services
• Goods held by a trader for resale (merchandise inventory)

However, PAS 2 excludes certain inventories from its scope:


• Work in process arising under construction contracts, including directly related service contracts. (Construction
Contracts)
• Financial instruments (see IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement)
• Biological assets and agricultural produce at point of harvest (see IAS 41 Agriculture)
Accounting for inventory

Inventories are assets that are held for sale in the ordinary business. Or, inventories are also assets in the process of
production for such sale, production of goods or rendering services.

Inventories comprise merchandise, production supplies, materials, working in progress and finished goods.

Definition of cost
Cost is the cost of bringing items of inventory to their present location and condition (including cost of purchase and cost of
conversion).

Definition of cost
Cost of purchase comprises:
• Purchase price including import duties, transport and handling costs.
• Any other directly attributable costs, less any trade rebates, discounts and subsidies.

Relative Sales Price Method


When different commodities are purchased at a lump sum, the single cost is apportioned among the commodities
based on then respective sales price. The relative sales price method is based on the philosophy that cost is
proportionate to selling price.

Cost of conversion comprises:


• Costs which are specifically attributable to units of production, e.g. direct labour, direct expenses and subcontracted
work.
• Production overheads, which must be based on the normal level of activity.
• Other overheads, if any, attributable in particular circumstances of the business to bringing the product or service to its
present location and condition.

A production process may result in more than one product being produced simultaneously. This is the case, for example, when
products are produced or where there is a main product and a by-product. When the cost of conversion are not separately
identifiable, they are allocated between the products on a rational and consistent basis, for example, on the basis of the
relative sales value of each product.
Joint products are main product.
By-products are incidental product.

If the By-product is inventoriable If the By-product is not inventoriable


Joint cost (Main product) X Joint cost (Main product) X
Less: by product at NRV (x) Less: by product at NRV (zero)(do not deduct)
Balance of main product X Balance of main product X

NRV = selling price minus cost to sell

Other costs: only to the extent incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. Examples, borrowing
costs, storage costs of necessary in the production process before a further production stage (e.g, the storage costs of
partly finished goods (work in process) may be capitalized as cost of inventory/ storage cost of work in process , and non-
production overheads or cost of designing products for specific customers.

The following costs should be excluded and charged as expense of the period in which they are incurred:
• Abnormal waste
• Storage costs of raw materials and completed goods (finished goods)
• Administrative overheads which do not contribute to bringing inventories to their present location and condition
• Selling costs.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION PRESENTATION

In compliance with the requirement of PAS 1, items classified as inventories should be shown as one line item in the
current assets section of the entity’s statement of financial position under the caption “Inventories”. Moreover, the
details comprising the “Inventories” should be disclosed in the notes to financial statements.

MEASUREMENT
I. Initial – Inventories is measured at cost.

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 5 of 38
II. Subsequent – Inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

• Inventories are usually written down to net realisable value item by item.
• In some circumstances, however, it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. This may be the case with
items of inventory relating to the same product line that have similar purposes or end uses, are produced and marketed
in the same geographical area, and cannot be practicably evaluated separately from other items in that product line. It is
not appropriate to write inventories down on the basis of a classification of inventory, for example, finished goods, or all
the inventories in a particular operating segment. Service providers generally accumulate costs in respect of each service
for which a separate selling price is charged. Therefore, each such service is treated as a separate item.

Assets not measured under the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV) under IAS 2
a. Inventories of producers of agricultural, forest, and mineral products measured at net realizable value in
accordance with well-established practices in those industries.
b. Inventories of commodity broker-traders measured at fair value less cost to sell.
Key definitions
The cost of inventories shall comprise all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value refers to the net amount that an entity expects to realize from the sale of inventory in the ordinary course
of business. It is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date

I. Initial Measurement

Cost of Inventories
The cost of inventories shall comprise all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition.

A. Costs of Purchase
The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the
 Purchase price
 Import duties and other taxes (other than those
subsequently recoverable by the entity from the taxing
authorities)
 Transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to
the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services.
 Any trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are
deducted in determining the costs of purchase.

B. Costs of Conversion
C. Other Costs
Other costs are included in the cost of inventories only to the
extent that they are incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition. Examples of other
costs are as follows:

a) Borrowing costs – PAS 23 requires capitalizing interest on


inventories which take a substantial amount of time to
create. However, an entity is not required to capitalize borrowing costs for inventories that are manufactured in large
quantities on a repetitive basis.
b) Storage costs – this can be included for products that require a maturation process or substantial amount of time to
create (Storage cost for work in process).
c) Non-production overheads or costs of designing products for specific customer– this can be included in cost if
they contribute in bringing the inventories to their present condition and location.

Inventory cost should exclude:


• Abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labor, or other production costs
• Storage costs for raw materials and finished goods, outright expense. (Unless essential to the production process,
charged to inventoriable cost)
• Administrative overheads unrelated to production
• Selling costs
• Foreign exchange differences arising directly on the recent acquisition of inventories invoiced in a foreign currency
• Interest cost when inventories are purchased with deferred settlement terms.

Inventory valuation methods

IAS 2 deals with three methods of arriving at cost:


• Actual unit cost
• First in, first out (FIFO)
• Weighted average cost (AVCO)

In determining the cost of inventories, PAS 2 requires:


a. The cost of inventories that are ordinarily interchangeable shall be determined by using First-in, First-out
(FIFO) or weighted average methods.
b. The cost of inventories of items that are not ordinarily interchangeable and goods or services produced and
segregated for specific projects shall be assigned by using specific identification of their individual costs.

Where items of inventory are not ordinarily interchangeable (e.g. used cars). IAS 2 requires the actual unit cost valuation
method to be used. Such items should be shown at their actual individual costs.

Where items are ordinarily interchangeable (e.g. tins of beans), the entity must choose between two cost formulae: the
FIFO method and the AVCO method.

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 6 of 38
The same method of arriving at cost should be used for all inventories having similar nature and use to the entity. For
inventories with a different nature or use, different cost methods may be justified.

Cost shall be measured through


1. FIFO/Periodic – the cost shall be computed as: (# Inventory on hand * Cost of latest purchases)
2. FIFO/Perpetual – the computation of cost shall be the same as FIFO/Periodic
3. AVE/Periodic (aka WEIGHTED AVERAGE): # of Inventory on hand * WA unit Cost
WA unit Cost = COGAS / # OF GAS
4. AVE/Perpetual (aka MOVING AVERAGE): The average cost in recomputed after every purchase
transaction. The last Moving average unit cost (after the last purchase transaction of the year) shall be used for
the computation of the Inventory cost at year end.

Are some other techniques of cost measurement allowed by IAS 2?

Except for weighted average or FIFO, IAS 2 allows application of standard cost and retail method techniques to
approximate costs of inventory.

Standard costs: This technique of cost measurement takes normal levels of materials and supplies, labor, efficiency and
capacity utilization into account. Standard cost shall be regularly reviewed and revised.

Retail method: This method is very often utilized in the retail industry where inventories are in large quantities and fast
moving. Here, sales value of inventory is reduced by the appropriate percentage gross margin.

LIFO (last-in-first-out) is prohibited by IAS 2.

II. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT


 Inventories are required to be stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (LCNRV).
 Inventories are usually written down to net realizable value item by item. In some circumstances, however, it may be
appropriate to group similar or related items.

Net realizable value refers to the net amount that an entity expects to realize from the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of
business. It is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Possible causes of the inventory cost becoming not recoverable


a. Physical damage c. Decline in selling price
b. Obsolescence d. Rise of completion cost and/or selling cost

Treatment of inventory write-down and/or possible reversal of write-down


 Any write-down to NRV should be recognized as an expense (often called cost of goods sold) in the period in which the
write-down occurs.
 Any reversal should be recognized in the income statement as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as
expense in the period in which the reversal occurs. Also, the amount of reversal should not exceed the original amount of
write-down that was previously recognized

Accounting for Lower of Cost or Net Realizable Value


DIRECT METHOD ALLOWANCE METHOD
Inventory, beginning (LCNRV) xx Inventory, beginning (at cost) xx
Add: Net purchases xx Add: Net purchases xx
Total goods available for sale xx Total goods available for sale xx
Less: Inventory, end (LCNRV) xx Less: Inventory, end (at cost) xx
Cost of sales after inventory write-down xx Cost of sales before write-down xx
Add: Loss on inventory write-down xx
Less: Gain on reversal of write-down xx
Cost of sales after inventory write-down xx

Gain or loss may be computed as follows:


Inventory, end (at cost) xx
Less: Inventory, end (at LCNRV) xx
Required allowance xx
Less: Allowance for write-down, beg xx
Loss/(gain) on inventory write-down xx
Note:
Net Realizable Value (NRV)
NRV is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to
make the sale. Net realizable value shall be:
1. Finished goods/Merchandise inventory = Est. Selling Price – Est. cost to sell
2. Work in process inventory = Est. Selling Price – Est. cost to complete – Est. cost to sell
3. Raw materials and Supplies = The NRV of raw materials shall be the Current Replacement Cost***

***The same shall be written down only if the finished goods to which they are related to are also written down. Materials and other supplies held
for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are
expected to be sold at or above cost.

Note: Difference between cost and NRV, if NRV is lower becomes the required allowance for inventory writedown (like allowances for bad debts), to
determine how much is the loss during the period, determine the increment from the unadjusted balance of account. Thus, if cost is lower the NRV,
required balance is zero/nil, any unadjusted credit balance of the account shall be recognized as gain from recovery in the income statement.

Write-Down and Reversal

Any write-down to NRV should be recognized as an expense. (i.e. added to cost of goods sold) in the period in which the write-down occurs.

Any reversal should be recognized in the income statement (i.e., deducted from cost of goods sold) in the period in which the reversal occurs.

RECOGNITION
Inventories are recognized when it satisfies the requirements of PAS 2 and/or the general criteria of asset recognition. As a rule,
goods included as part of inventory are items to which the entity has title, regardless of location.

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 7 of 38
Recognition of sales (seller) and inventory (buyer) normally takes place when title to the goods passes from the former to the latter.
This is normally evidenced by transfer of possession over the goods. In addition, it must be observed that the related risks and
rewards associated to the ownership of the goods should also be transferred.

With this, inventory recognized by the entity includes;


a. Goods owned and on hand
b. Goods owned and on hand of salesmen, distributing agents, dealers, or others for resale
c. Goods in transit and sold FOB Destination
d. Goods in transit and purchased FOB Shipping point

Cut-off problems (Sales/Purchase)


1. Identify validity of the Sales or Purchase transaction *
2. Determine whether Sales (Receivable) or Purchase (Payable) has been recorded
3. Determine whether inventories were Excluded or Included**

Thus:
• If it is a Valid Sale, the Receivable should be recorded, the Inventory should be excluded.
• If it is not a Valid Sale, the receivable should not be recorded, the Inventory should be included.
• If it is a Valid Purchase, the Payable should be recorded, the Inventory should be included.
• If it is not a Valid Purchase, the Payable should not be recorded, the Inventory should be excluded.

* In considering the validity of Sale Purchase transaction, consider the following items:
As a rule of thumb assumption, a Sale is valid upon delivery and a Purchase is valid upon receipt.

** If the problem did not indicate whether goods under consideration has been included or excluded from the count, the following
assumptions are to be made:

a. All deliveries(on sale) made on or before the count date are excluded from the count, all deliveries made after the count date
are included in the count.

b. All receipt (on purchases) of goods on or before the count date shall be included in the count, all receipts after the count date
are excluded from the count.

AUDIT OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND RELATED ACCOUNTS

Guide questions in the audit of Accounts Payable and Related Accounts:


If Answer is: Then
Scenario 1
Was there a valid purchase? Yes
Was the purchase recorded? Yes No Adjusting Entry
Were the inventories Included in the count? Yes No Adjusting Entry

Scenario 2
Was there a valid purchase? Yes
Was the purchase recorded? No Dr. Purchases Cr. Accounts payable
Were the inventories Included in the count? No Dr. Inventory Cr. Cost of sales

Scenario 3
Was there a valid purchase? None Do nothing
Was the purchase recorded? No No Adjusting Entry
Were the inventories Included in the count? No No Adjusting Entry

Scenario 4
Was there a valid purchase? None Do nothing
Was the purchase recorded? Yes Dr. Accounts payable Cr. Purchases
Were the inventories Included in the count? Yes Dr. Cost of sales Cr. Inventory

Guidelines in determining whether goods are to be Included or Excluded from the inventory:
A. Goods in transit
- FOB Shipping Point/FOB Seller or Seller’s Location include as inventory
of buyer (plus freight in)

- FOB Dest./FOB Buyer or Buyer’s Location include as inventory of seller


(exclude freight out)

- Cost of insurance and freight (CIF) include as inventory of buyer upon


delivery to carrier (plus cost of insurance and freight)

- Free Alongside (FAS) the Vessel include as inventory of buyer upon


possession of the carrier (exclude freight cost to Vessel, include freight
cost from Vessel to Customer)

FOB Shipping point- include freight in FOB destination point – exclude freight out
FAS-exclude freight cost to vessel, include freight cost from vessel
to customer Ex ship-exclude freight out
CIF- include freight in No arrival, no sale- exclude freight out
FOB supplier warehouse – include freight in FOB buyer warehouse-exclude freight out
C and F – include freight in FOB jobsite – exclude freight out

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 8 of 38
FOB factory-include freight in
FOB origin-include freight in

Note:
FOB Buyer Destination
FOB Seller Shipping point
*FOB place of the buyer (buyer location) Destination
*FOB place of the seller (seller location) Shipping point

B. Special sale/Purchase agreement

Special cases for sale of goods (Lifted from PAS 18)


The following list illustrates some cases for sale of goods that deviate from the normal
timing of recognition of sale (seller) or inventory (buyer).
1. ‘Bill and hold’ sales in which delivery is delayed at the buyer’s request but the
buyer takes title and accepts billing.

Revenue is recognized when the buyer takes title, provided:


a. it is probable that delivery will be made;
b. the item is on hand, identified and ready for delivery to the buyer at
the time the sale is recognized;
c. the buyer specifically acknowledges the deferred delivery instructions; and
d. the usual payment terms apply.

NOTE: Revenue is not recognized when there is simply an intention to acquire or


manufacture the goods in time for delivery.

2. Goods shipped subject to conditions.


a. Installation and inspection.
Revenue is normally recognized when the buyer accepts delivery, and installation and inspection are complete.

However, revenue is recognized immediately upon the buyer’s acceptance of delivery when:
• the installation process is simple in nature, for example the installation of a factory tested television receiver which only
requires unpacking and connection of power and antennae; or
• the inspection is performed only for purposes of final determination of contract prices, for example, shipments of iron
ore, sugar or soya beans

b. Out on approval when the buyer has negotiated a limited right of return.
If there is uncertainty about the possibility of return, revenue is recognized when the shipment has been formally
accepted by the buyer or the goods have been delivered and the time period for rejection has elapsed.

c. Consignment sales under which the recipient (buyer) undertakes to sell the goods on behalf of the shipper (seller).
Revenue is recognized by the shipper when the goods are sold by the recipient to a third party.

d. Cash on delivery sales.


Revenue is recognized when delivery is made and cash is received by the seller or its agent.

3. Installment sales, under which the consideration is receivable in installments.


Revenue attributable to the sales price, exclusive of interest, is recognized at the date of sale.

The sale price is the present value of the consideration, determined by discounting the installments receivable at the imputed
rate of interest. The interest element is recognized as revenue as it is earned, using the effective interest method.

4. Lay away sales under which the goods are delivered only when the buyer makes the final payment in a series of installments.

Revenue from such sales is recognized when the goods are delivered. However, when experience indicates that most such
sales are consummated, revenue may be recognized when a significant deposit is received provided the goods are on
hand, identified and ready for delivery to the buyer.

5. Orders when payment (or partial payment) is received in advance of delivery for goods not presently held in inventory, for
example, the goods are still to be manufactured or will be delivered directly to the customer from a third party.

Revenue is recognized when the goods are delivered to the buyer.

6. Sale and repurchase agreements (other than swap transactions) under which the seller concurrently agrees to repurchase
the same goods at a later date, or when the seller has a call option to repurchase, or the buyer has a put option to
require the repurchase, by the seller, of the goods.

For a sale and repurchase agreement on an asset other than a financial asset, the terms of the agreement need to be
analyzed to ascertain whether, in substance, the seller has transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and
hence revenue is recognized. When the seller has retained the risks and rewards of ownership, even though legal title has
been transferred, the transaction is a financing arrangement and does not give rise to revenue.

For a sale and repurchase agreement on a financial asset, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement applies.

7. Subscriptions to publications and similar items.


When the items involved are of similar value in each time period, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the period in which the items are dispatched. When the items vary in value from period to period, revenue is recognized on
the basis of the sales value of the item dispatched in relation to the total estimated sales value of all items covered by the
subscription.

Other possible items that may raise issue in recognition of inventories


1. Damaged and unsalable goods
2. Inventories held and currently being used for window display
3. Inventories held or sold with right of return

4. Segregated goods in the warehouse
a. Special order goods
b. Goods held awaiting shipping instructions

Change in the method of inventory from FIFO to weighted average method or vice versa
 Change in inventory method is regarded as change in accounting policy
 The change should be applied retrospectively.
 But because of the counterbalancing effect of the error in inventory, the effect may be computed as follows:
Ending inventory, prior year using FIFO (year prior to the date of change inventory) XX
Ending inventory, prior year using weighted average (year prior to the date of change inventory) XX
Overstated (or if negative understated) ending inventory XX

Ending inventory last year is overstated Ending inventory last year is understated
Retained earnings xx Merchandise inventory – beginning (Cost of sale) xx
Merchandise inventory – beginning (Cost of sale) xx Retained earnings xx

If the above adjusting entry is not made, the effect If the above adjusting entry is not made, the

ACCOUNTING FOR PURCHASE COMMITMENT


 Purchase commitments are non-cancelable agreement to purchase goods sometime in the future at a fixed price and
fixed quantity.
 When there is a reasonable certainty that inventories purchased under purchase commitments become impaired, loss on
purchase commitment should be recognized in the period such impairment has been determined.
 Any recovery may be recognized as gain but such gain to be recognized should be limited to the loss recognized
previously.

INVENTORY ESTIMATION

Approaches in Estimating the Value of Inventory


1. Gross Profit Method 2. Retail Inventory Method

Gross Profit Method


Based on the entity’s past experiences, the average gross profit rate may be used to estimate the cost of goods sold as well as the
ending inventory to be reported in the interim financial statements.

Determining the Gross Profit Rate


Aside from the basic gross profit rate based on cost and on sales, the following may also be useful in determining gross profit rate.
Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 10 of 38
1. Look for possible trend.
2. If the problem states that “Average Gross Profit” would be used, then
Gross Profit Rate Year 1 + Year 2+Year n
Average Gross Profit =
Number of years
3. If the problem states that “The overall gross profit ratio for the past years was in effect during the year of fire or theft”, then
Gross Profit Year 1 + Year 2+Year n
Overall Gross Profit =
Sales Year 1 + Year 2 + Year n
Note: Use this when there is no trend on the gross profit ratios and the problem is silent as to what gross profit will be used.

• Goods available for sale minus cost of goods sold equals ending inventory
• Cost of goods sold equals net sales х cost ratio (gross profit rate based on sales) or net sales ÷ cost ratio (gross profit
based on cost)


• Net sales equals gross sales minus sales return or sales returns and allowances
• Ignore sales discounts and sales allowances

Depending on what is given, the following are the procedural steps in computing for estimated cost of inventory and
inventory loss (e.g. caused by fire)
1. Determine the Gross profit rate
2. Determine the Cost ratio: Cost Ratio = 100% less Gross Profit Rate
3. Compute for the Net Sales (Sales less sales returns)
4. Compute for the estimated cost of goods sold: Cost of Sales = Cost Ratio x Net Sales

In computing for inventory loss due to fire, flood or any other catastrophe, the following may be considered:
Estimated ending inventory xx
Less: Salvage or scrap values xx
Damaged goods (at NRV) xx
Undamaged goods (at Cost) xx
In-transit goods (owned by the client) xx
Inventory out on consignment xx
Other inventories owned by the client not in the warehouse during
the catastrophe xx
Inventory loss xx

Retail Inventory Method

The retail method is simply a pragmatic way of determining cost by starting with the selling price and deducting a suitable estimate
of the profit margin.

The ratio exploited using this method is not the gross profit ratio but rather the cost ratio.

Methods in Computing Cost Ratio


For the purpose of computing cost ratio, there are three methods that can be used by an entity:
a. Conservative, Conventional, or Lower of cost or market (LCM)
b. Average
c. First-in, First-out

Note: PAS 2 par. 22 requires either the average cost approach or the FIFO approach (but more particularly the average cost
approach). The standard requires that the percentage to be used in the application of the retail method should be the percentage
that has been marked down below its original selling price meaning net markdowns should be included in the determination of the
cost ratio.

Procedural approach:
1. Compute for the cost ratio using the following formula:
GAS at cost minus beg inventory at cost
FIFO =
GAS at retail minus beg inventory at retail

GAS at cost
Average =
GAS at retail

GAS at cost
Conservative =
GAS at retail excluding markdowns

Legend: GAS – Goods available for sale

Three Methods Beginning Inventory Markup Markdown


1. Conservative/Conventional/LCM Include Include Exclude
2. Average (If the problem is silent) Include Include Include
3. FIFO Exclude Include Include

2. Compute for the ending inventory at retail


Goods available for sale at retail X
Less: Net sales ( Sales minus Sales return only plus Employee discounts plus Normal (X)
shrinkage, spoilage)
Ending inventory at retail X

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 11 of 38
Note: Do not deduct if the given in the problem is “sales allowances”

3. Compute for the ending inventory at cost using the following formula:
Ending inventory at cost = Cost ratio x ending inventory at retail

4. Compute for the cost of sales using the following formula:


Goods available for sale at cost XX
Less: Ending Inventory at cost XX
Cost of Sales XX

Summary of items to be added (deducted) to cost and retail column:

At cost only
Freight-in X
Purchase allowance (x)
Purchase discount (x)

At retail only
Mark-up X
Mark-up cancellation (x)

Definition of terms:
1. Original retail - is the sales price at which the goods are first offered for sale.
2. Initial markup - the original markup on the cost of goods or the amount added to the
original cost to get the original retail price.
3. Additional markup - is an increase in the sales price above the original sales price or the
amount added to the original retail price.
4. Markup cancelation - is a decrease in the sales price that does not reduce the sales
price below the original sales price.
5. Net markup - additional markup minus markup cancelation.
6. Markdown - is a decrease in the sales price below the original price.
7. Markdown cancelation - is an increase in sales price that does not raise the sales price
above the original sales price.
8. Net markdown - markdown minus markdown cancelation.
9. Maintained markup (markon) – difference between cost and sales price after adjustment
for all the above items.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION


• Inventories are presented in a line item under the heading “Inventories” in the current asset section of the statement of
financial position.

Disclosure requirements
The main disclosure requirements of IAS 2 are:
• Accounting policy for inventories.
• Carrying amount, generally classified as merchandise, supplies, materials, work in progress, and finished goods. The
classifications depend on what is appropriate for the enterprise.
• Carrying amount of any inventories carried at fair value less costs to sell.
• Amount of any write-down of inventories recognized as an expense in the period.
• Amount of any reversal of a write-down to NRV and the circumstances that led to such reversal.
• Carrying amount of inventories pledged as security for liabilities.
• Cost of inventories recognized as expense (cost of goods sold). PAS 2 acknowledges that some enterprises classify income
statement expenses by nature (materials, labor, and so on) rather than by function (cost of goods sold, selling expense,
and so on). Accordingly, as an alternative to disclosing cost of goods sold expense, PAS 2 allows an enterprise to disclose
operating costs recognized during the period by nature of the cost (raw materials and consumables, labor costs, other
operating costs) and the amount of the net change in inventories for the period). This is consistent with PAS 1, Presentation
of Financial Statements, which allows presentation of expenses by function or nature.

AGRICULTURE (IAS 41)

Objective of PAS 41

The objective of PAS 41 is to prescribe the accounting treatment and disclosures related to agricultural activity.

Applicability or Scope of PAS 41


PAS 41 shall be applied to account for the following when they relate to agricultural activity:
I. biological assets;
II. agricultural produce at the point of harvest; and
III. government grants related to biological assets

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 12 of 38
Inapplicability of PAS 41
(a) Agricultural produce after the point of harvest (PAS 02 Inventories)
(b) Land related to agricultural activity (see PAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, PFRS 16 Leases and PAS 40 Investment
Property); and
(c) Intangible assets related to agricultural activity (see PAS 38 Intangible Assets).
(d) Agricultural activity that is not managed, such as ocean fishing or deforestation
(e) Land is not a biological asset. It is treated as a tangible non-current asset and IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment applies.
This means that (for example) when a forest is valued, the trees must be valued separately from the land that they grown on.

Why not Zoos?

zoo animals are outside the scope of IAS 41,


So why are zoos not included in the scope? The animals are living (or at least we hope so) but there is no management
of the transformation of the biological assets for sale. Natural breeding that takes place is not a managed activity and is
incidental to the main activity of providing a recreational facility.

Ocean farming is also not in the scope of IAS 41 as the ocean is unmanageable. Managing the growth of fish on a farm
for subsequent slaughter or sale, however, is agricultural activity within the scope of IAS 41.

What else is out of scope?


Agricultural produce, after harvested, becomes inventory and is accounted for in accordance with IAS 2, ‘Inventory’.

Land related to agricultural activity is outside the scope of IAS 41. If it is owned by the entity it will be in the scope of
IAS 16 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’. Land rented by the entity from a third party will be a lease and therefore in the
scope of IFRS 16 ‘Leases’.

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY
Agricultural activity covers a diverse range of activities; for example
• raising livestock
• forestry
• annual or perennial cropping
• cultivating orchards and plantations
• floriculture
• aquaculture (including fish farming)

Certain common features exist within this diversity:


a. Capability to change. Living animals and plants are capable of biological transformation;

b. Management of change. Management facilitates biological transformation by enhancing, or at least stabilizing, conditions
necessary for the process to take place (for example, nutrient levels, moisture, temperature, fertility, and light).

Harvesting from unmanaged sources (such as ocean fishing and deforestation) is not agricultural activity; and

c. Measurement of change. The change in quality (for example, genetic merit, density, ripeness, fat cover, protein content, and
fiber strength) or quantity (for example, progeny, weight, cubic meters, fiber length or diameter, and number of buds) brought
about by biological transformation or harvest is measured and monitored as a routine management function.

BIOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION
Biological transformation results in the following types of outcomes:
a. asset changes through the following:
i. growth (an increase in quantity or improvement in quality of an animal or plant)
ii. degeneration (a decrease in the quantity or deterioration in quality of an animal or plant)
iii. procreation (creation of additional living animals or plants); or
b. production of agricultural produce such as latex, tea leaf, wool, and milk.

Currently, IAS 41 divides biological assets into


categories: they can be a living plant or animal and
these plants or animals can be consumable or a bearer.
• Consumable assets: Consumable assets are
those which are to be harvested as agricultural
produce or sold as biological assets - that is,
once harvested they are gone (for example
wheat and cattle for beef).
• Bearer assets: Bearer assets are used to
bear produce over their productive lives (for
example dairy cows produce milk)

The table below gives examples of each.


Agricultural produce
Biological assets (Included in IAS 41 at the point of Products that are the result of
Bearer Plant (IAS 16 PPE) (IAS 41) harvest, treated as inventory after processing after harvest
that point)
Sheep Wool Yarn, carpet
Trees in a plantation forest
(timber plantation) Felled trees Logs, lumber
Dairy cattle Milk Cheese
Pigs Carcass Sausages, cured hams
Cotton Plants Cotton Thread, clothing
Sugarcane Harvested cane Sugar
Tobacco plants Picked leaves Cured tobacco
Tea bushes (Bearer plant) Picked leaves Tea
Grape vines (Bearer plant) Fruits growing on the tree Picked grapes Wine

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 13 of 38
Fruit trees (Bearer plant) Fruits growing on the tree Picked fruit Processed fruit
Oil palms (Bearer plant) Fruits growing on the tree Picked fruit Palm oil
Rubber trees (Bearer plant)** Fruits growing on the tree Harvested latex Rubber products

Agricultural produce is measured at fair value less point of cost to sell at the point of harvest. After harvest, if agriculture
produce are held for sale in the normal course of business or are processed further, inventories shall apply.

The measurement of biological assets and agricultural produce is covered by PAS 41 and the measurement of products after
harvest is covered by PAS 2 on inventories.

Bearer plants are accounted for under IAS 16 Property, plant and Equipment. However, the fruit bunches growing on the trees are
biological asset, the picked fruits are agricultural produce and the processed fruits are inventories.

Not considered bearer plants:


1. Trees grown to be harvested and sold as log or lumber are not bearer plants
2. Annual crops which do not bear produce for more than one period and are held solely to be harvested as agricultural produce such
as corn and rice are not bearer plants.

Plant with dual use


- A plant with dual use is reported as biological asset and not as bearer plant.
A plant may have a dual use, namely:
a. The plant is cultivated for bearing agricultural produce.
b. The plant itself is being sold either as a living plant or an agricultural produce.

** For example, rubber trees may be cultivated to grow rubber milk as agricultural produce and at the same time, may
be sold as living plant and cut down at the end of the productive life to be sold as lumber or wood. In this case, the
rubber trees are recognized as biological asset because of the dual use. However, the rubber trees are recognized as
bearer plants when simply cut down and sold for scrap upon maturity

Bearer plants

Bearer plants are accounted for under IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment rather than IAS 41 Agriculture. A bearer plant is a living plant that:
• is used in the production or supply of agricultural produce;
• is expected to bear fruit for more than one period; and
• has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural produce, except for incidental scrap sales.

Therefore items such as vines, tea bushes, and fruit trees may be classed as bearer plants and treated as property, plant and equipment rather than
being accounted for under the provision of IAS 41 Agriculture.

Recognition/ Measurement basis


 Bearer plants in the scope of IAS 16 will be measured like a self-constructed asset. Bearer plants are initially recognised at accumulated
cost. When the asset is in the location and capable of being operated, depreciation will begin and the asset will be tested for impairment
under IAS 36. The point at which depreciation begins is subjective and is likely to depend on the type of plant. This judgment should be
clearly disclosed.
 Bearer Plants (PAS 16 PPE) using either cost model or revaluation model.

Examples of Bearer Plants.


1. Rubber trees (when simply cut down and sold for scrap upon maturity) (if the problem is silent), otherwise biological asset because of
the dual use.
2. Grapevines
3. Oil Palms
4. Mango trees
5. Coconut trees
6. Tea bushes

Examples of living plants that not bearer plants


1. Annual crops (such as palay, wheat, corn, maize, sugarcane, barley, etc.)
2. Trees e.g. timber used for producing lumber
3. Plants cultivated and sold in garden centers.

Agricultural produce

At the date of harvest the produce should be recognized and measured at fair value les estimated costs to sell.
• Gain and losses on initial recognition are included in profit or loss (profit from operations) for the period.
• After produce has been harvested, IAS 41 ceases to apply. Agricultural produce becomes an item of inventory. Fair value
less costs to sell at the point of harvest is taken as cost for the purpose of IAS 2 Inventories, which is applied from then
onwards.

Note:
Transactions Accounting treatment Measurement
Bearer trees Property, plant and equipment Cost or revaluation model
Fruits growing on the trees Biological asset Fair value less cost to sell
Picked the fruits Agriculture Produce (PAS 41 Agriculture) at the point of Fair value less cost to sell at the point of

Biological assets

A biological asset is a living animal or plant. A biological asset should be recognized if:
• It is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity
• The cost or fair value of the asset can be reliably measured, and
• The entity controls the asset.

Fair Value

Agriculture is fundamentally different from other type of business. Most non-current assets wear out are consumed over time and
therefore they are depreciated. Many agricultural assets grow, rather than wear out. Arguably, depreciation is irrelevant in this
situation. Therefore biological assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are reported as part of profit for the period.
This means that a farmer’s profit for the year reflects the increase in the value of his productive assets as a whole, as well as the profit
on any sales made during the year.

Many commentators have been wary of this departure from traditional realization concepts, claiming that it is wrong to recognize profit
before a sale has been made. Indeed, under IAS 41 profits could be recognized years before the products are even ready for sale.
However, supporters of IAS 41 claim that the opposite is true. By requiring all changes in the value of a farm to be reported openly,
farm managers will be unable to boost profits by selling off an unsustainable amount of produce.

For instance, under traditional accounting rules a forestry company could make huge short-term profits by felling all of its trees without
replacing them. Profit would reflect the sale but ignore the fall in value of the forest.

IAS 41 contains a rebuttable presumption that the fair value of a biological asset can be measured reliably. Many biological assets are
traded on an active market, so it is normally easy to determine the fair value of an asset by ascertaining the quoted price in that
market.

If there is no active market for the asset then it may be possible to estimate fair value by using:
• The most recent market price
• The market price for a similar asset
• The discounted cash flows for the asset
• Net realizable value

If there is no active market and the alternative methods of estimating fair value are clearly unreliable, then a biological asset is
measured at cost less depreciation on initial recognition until a reliable fair value can be established. For example, seedlings being
grown on a plantation will not be have any market value until they are a few years old.

Gain and losses can arise when a biological asset is first recognized. For example, a loss can arise because estimated selling costs are
deducted from fair value. A gain can arise when a new biological asset (such as a lamb or a calf) is born.

Recognition and measurement

Initial measurement is at:


• Fair value less any estimated point of sale costs.
• If there is no fair value, then the cost model should be used.

• Gain from change in fair value due to growth or price change minus loss from change in fair value due to harvest or price
change equals net gain from biological asset
• Biological asset measured at FV less Cost to sell. Cost of disposal" is the incremental cost directly attributable to the
disposal of an asset.
Cost to sell include the 1. Commission to brokers
following: 2. Levies by regulatory agencies and commodity exchanges
3. Transfer taxes and duties
Cost to sell do not include: 1. Transport cost of getting the asset to a market
2. Advertising cost
3. Income taxes
4. Interest expense

Subsequent measurement:
• Revalue to fair value less point of sale costs at year-end, taking any gain or loss to the statement of profit or loss.

Agricultural produce:
• Fair value less cost to sell of harvest is initial cost of agricultural produce and gain from agricultural produce.
• After point of harvest, classified at an inventory and measured at lower cost vs NRV.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION


Presentation

Biological assets and agricultural produce should be presented as separate line items under the following headings:

Statement of Financial Position


Current assets
Biological assets – would include produce to be harvested within 12 months of reporting date, livestock to be slaughtered within 12
months and annual crops eg wheat, maize

Inventories – includes the inventories produced from agricultural produce eg the Tea to be sold, produced from the tea leaves

Non-current assets
Property, Plant and Equipment – would include bearer plants

Biological assets – would include all agricultural produce to be harvested more than 12 months from the reporting date, livestock to
be held for more than 12 months and trees cultivated for lumber and fruit.

• Dairy livestock whether immature or mature, are to be presented in the non-current assets sections of the Statement
of Financial Position.
• An entity is encouraged, but not required, to provide a quantified description of each group of biological assets,
distinguishing between consumable and bearer biological assets or between mature and immature biological assets, as
appropriate. An entity discloses the basis for making any such distinctions.

Statement of Comprehensive Income


• Fair value of milk produced and gains arising from changes in fair value less cost to sell of dairy livestock shall be included
in profit for the period in which it arises.

Statement of Cash Flows


• Cash receipts from sale of milk, sale of livestock and cash paid for purchases of livestock are to be presented in the
operating activities section of the Statement of Cash Flows.

Disclosure
Extensive disclosure is required by IAS 41, including:
• the aggregate gain or loss for the period on:
– initial recognition of biological assets
– initial recognition of agricultural produce
– change in fair value less estimated costs to sell of biological assets
• a description of, and the nature of its activities involving, each group of biological assets
• non-financial measures or estimates of the physical quantities of agricultural produce output for the period and biological
assets as at the year end date
• restrictions on title, pledges and commitments in respect of biological assets
• a reconciliation of changes in the carrying amount of those biological assets between the beginning and end of the
reporting period. The reconciliation should include the gain/loss arising from changes in fair value, purchases, sales,
decreases due to harvest and other changes

For biological assets measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, the standard
requires the following additional disclosure:
• a description of those biological assets
• an explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably
• the range of estimates within which fair value is highly likely to lie (if possible)
• the gain or loss recognised on disposal of those biological assets
• impairment losses (if any), reversals of impairment losses (if any) and depreciation expense
• the depreciation method used
• the useful lives or the depreciation rates used

Fair value measurement, inventory and biological asset - Batch May 2020 Page 16 of 38
• the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation at the beginning and end of the period.

In addition, if the fair value of biological assets previously measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses subsequently becomes reliably measurable, an enterprise should disclose a description of the
biological assets, an explanation of why fair value has become reliably measurable, and the effect of the change. Disclosure is
also required in respect of government grants relating to managed agricultural activity.

Government grants and biological assets

Government grants

IAS 41 applies to government grants related to a biological asset.


• Unconditional government grants received in respect of biological assets measured at fair value are reported as income
when the grant becomes receivable.
• If such a grant is conditional (including where the grant requires an entity not to engage in certain agricultural activity), the
entity recognizes it as income only when the conditioned have been met.

 Treat the grant as deferred income, or
 Deduct the grant from the carrying amount of the asset
• Government grants recognized during the period should be separately identified and any unfulfilled conditions attaching to such
grants should be explained.
• An indication should be given in the financial statements where there is expected to be a decrease in the amount of government
grants receivable in future periods.

Disclosures of Government Grants


• Disclosures relating to government grants include the nature and extent of grants, unfulfilled conditions, and significant
decreases in the expected level of grants

REVIEW QUESTIONS

1. On January 1, 20x9, the entity purchased raw materials to be consumed in the production process for P550,000, including
P50,000 refundable purchase taxes. The purchase price was funded by raising a loan of P555,000 (including P5,000 loan-raising
fees). The loan is secured by inventories. Storage costs for raw materials of P10,000

During February 20x9 the entity designed the corporate gifts for the customer, the design costs included: Cost of external
designer, P7,000 and labor cost, P3,000. Storage cost for work in process of P20,000

During March 20x9, the entity’s production team developed the manufacturing technique and made further modifications
necessary to bring the inventories to the conditions specified in the agreement. The following costs were incurred in the testing
phase; material, net of P3,000 recovered from the sale of the scrapped out, P21,000; Labor, P11,000 and depreciation of plant
used to perform the modifications, P5,000.
