Punjab Agro Ltd owns land with a standing wheat crop that is a biological asset. No separate market price exists for the crop. The combined fair value of the land and the standing crop is ₹90 lakh, and the fair value of the bare land is ₹60 lakh. The costs to sell the crop are estimated at ₹1 lakh. At what amount is the biological asset carried?

The crop is carried at ₹29 lakh. Its fair value is derived from the combined package of land and crop less the bare land value, which is ₹90 lakh minus ₹60 lakh, giving ₹30 lakh. Deducting costs to sell of ₹1 lakh gives ₹29 lakh.

  1. A₹30 lakh
  2. B₹90 lakh
  3. C₹31 lakh
  4. D₹29 lakhCorrect

Explanation

Fair value of the crop can be derived by deducting the bare land value from the combined value: 90 − 60 = ₹30 lakh. Costs to sell are then deducted: 30 − 1 = ₹29 lakh. ₹30 lakh is wrong because it omits the costs to sell.
