ACCOUNTING ANALYSIS 會計分析

 

The purpose of this accounting analysis is to examine the policies that Tassal have chosen that are significant as to how it captures the underlying business reality. Several accounting policies have been identified that are key to Tassal due to the nature of its product and the industry it competes in. 

 

Biological Assets 生物資產(chǎn)

 

As Tassal undertakes an agricultural activity, it is allowed to adopt AASB 141 Agriculture, which permits it to value its biological assets at the end of each reporting period at its fair value less its cost to sell, allowing it to record these increments into its revenue. Due to the nature of the salmon and the delay for the company to recognise the benefits of the fish when it is sold, this standard allows Tassal to rec http://www.400190.com/Thesis_Writing/Finance/ ognise the value of the salmon in its ‘live’ state and at a fair value. The standard also allows a choice if no market determined prices are available. This option is to value the biological asset at the present value of expected cash flows.

 

Borrowing Costs 借貸成本

 

Changes to the treatment of borrowing costs from the reporting period of 2009 outlined in AASB 123 Borrowing Costs has eliminated the option of expensing Tassal’s borrowing costs in relation to its biological assets and now requires it to capitalise these costs into the asset themselves. These changes in its recognition have resulted in a decrease in its finance costs by $982,000 for the year of 2009, with movements of these costs into the value of its biological asset and its cost of sales. In treating this for prior periods, Tassal’s earlier reports to not provide a breakdown as to borrowing costs that could be capitalised.
