P9.4 (LO 2) (Valuation at Net Realizable Value) Finn Berge realized his lifelong dream
of becoming a vineyard owner when he was able to purchase the Hillside Vineyard at
an estate auction in August 2022 for €750,000. Finn retained the Hillside name for his
new business. The purchase was risky because the growing season was coming to an
end, the grapes had to be harvested in the next several weeks, and Finn had limited
experience in carrying off a grape harvest.

At the end of the first quarter of operations, Finn felt pretty good about his early

.th
results. The first harvest was a success; 300 bushels of grapes were harvested with a
value of €30,000 (based on current local commodity prices at the time of harvest). And,
given the strong yield from area vineyards during the season, the net realizable value

ac
of Finn’s vineyard had increased by €15,000 at the end of the quarter. After storing the
grapes for a short period of time, Finn was able to sell the entire harvest for €35,000.

Barrick Gold Corporation

m
Barrick Gold Corporation (CAN) is the world’s largest and most profitable gold mining
company outside South Africa. Part of the key to Barrick’s success has been its ability

to maintain cash flow while improving production and increasing its reserves of gold
claims. Recently, Barrick has achieved record growth in cash flow, production, and
reserves.
ha

The company maintains an aggressive policy of developing previously identified target


areas that may contain large amounts of gold ore and that have not been previously

developed. Barrick limits their risk by choosing sites that are located in politically
stable regions and by their use of internally generated funds, rather than debt, to
