    I have a question concerning the cost of inventory which I hope someone can kindly help me resolve.

    In the text manual, the cost of inventory recogised as expenses is shown as follows:
    $
    Cost of opening inventory 140,000
    Purchase 670,000
    Cost of closing inventory (155,000)
    Opening NRV provision 30,800
    Closing NRV provison 55,500
    (Increase/decrease in NRV provision (24,700)
    __________
    Amt of inventories recognsied as exp 630,300

    The closing stock, after making allowances for the impairment, was $99,500 at the yaer end date.

    I am really at a loss as to how to work out $630,300 as the cost of inventories recognised as expenses becaue to me , it should be $679,200, calculated as opening stock ( 140,000 – 30800( impairment provison)PLUS purchase ( 670,000)LESS closing stock (155,000-55,500( closing impairment provison).

    Could someone kindly give me help as to how to work out the cost of inventories as HK$630,300 and what are the double entries required?

    I look forward to receiving your kind assistance.

    Hi

    I calculate it as 679,700 – you have 679,200

    Opening inventory, net of allowance 109,200
    Purchases 670,000

    779,200
    Less closing inventory, net of allowance ( 99,500)

    Cost of sales 679,700

    I agree with you – nearly!
