    Hi tutor,

    I understand if NRV is 0, the double entry wiil be:
    DR Expenses
    CR Assets

    If lets say, the NRV is more e,g $14,000. The cost is $13,000. Then how to account the difference. What will be the double entries?

    Thank you 🙂

    Short answer – there isn’t one

    Suppose y/e inventory is $100k before management carries out an NRV review – so for the draft financial statements, the double entry is:
    Dr Closing inventory (asset) $100k
    Cr Closing inventory (P/L) $100k

    Then NRV exercise shows that the NRV of some product/line items is $2k less than cost, so journal adjustment is:
    Dr Closing inventory (P/L) $2k
    Cr Closing inventory (asset) $2k

    If NRV is > cost there is no adjustment – inventory is already stated at the lower amount. You can “revalue” inventory upwards in anticipation of a future sale – you have to wait until you sell it (when you recognise revenue).
