Problem 1. Cow Co is a company that farms dairy cattle. Cow Co. owns the farmland on which the cattle
are located, having purchased it for P1.5 million in 2014. The land is measured at cost under PAS 16.
Details of cattle at 30 June 2016 were as follows:
Cows Heifers
Number 900 200
Fair Value P800 P320
During the year ended 30 June 2017 the following occurred:

200 new cows were purchased at P810 each

50 heifers matured into cows
5 heifers died
100 cows were sold for P830 each
The price change between a heifer and a cow at the time of maturity during the
year was estimated to be P500.
The following is relevant at 30 June 2017:

The land has been valued at P5.6 million

Fair value less estimated costs to sell are as follows (CowCo has determined that
these are the appropriate fair values to use for the purposes of transfers and deaths of heifers):
Cows is P850 per head
Heifers is P350/head

6. The fair value of cows as at 30 June 2017 is: 892,500

7. The fair value of Heifers as at June 30, 2017:
8. The Net Gain or loss on change in fair value for the year:

Problem 2. Milko owns dairy cattle. The market value of the cattle is calculated by reference to the litres
of milk able to be produced and the lactation rate of the cows. The cattle are regularly sold at auction.
Costs incurred to transport the cattle to auction are P500 per truck. Each truck can transport
approximately 100 cattle.
Number of mature cows held at 30 June 2017 5,000
Average litres of production per cow 6,000 liters
Lactation rate 50%
Price per litre 40 cents
9. The market value for each cow at 30 June 2017 is: 1,200
10. If the fair value of the cows on June 30, 2016 was P950, how much is the total gain on change in
fair value for the year:
