Accounting for Living Animals: IAS 16 or IAS 41 Illustrative Problem

MEOW Philippines Corporation formed a joint venture with TIGERWORLD Africa, the largest wild cat park in the world, to create TIGERWORLD Philippines that will be located in Palawan. MEOW purchased 25 tigers from TIGERWORLD Africa. Each tiger costs P 2,000,000.

These wild cats were all approximately five years old at the time of purchase and have an expected total lifespan of 25 years. Meow also paid P 750,000 for marine insurance, P 1,500,000 for veterinary costs, and P 5,000,000 to transport the animals from to Palawan.

MEOW also purchased a 15-hectare land for P 20,000,000 and spent P 10,000,000 to create the exhibit, which is expected to last 30 years and have no salvage value.


How should the company account for the foregoing costs / expenses?
