Sir I'm quite struggling in this question.
At the year end a company discovers that some inventory is damaged.
This inventory originally cost $2000 and to replace it would now cost $1900.
It would normally sell for $2400 but can now only be sold for $2200 if repairs costing $400 are undertaken.
At what value should the damaged inventory be shown in the financial statements?
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
Inventory
10y ago#1Inventory must be valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost is $2,000.
The net realisable value is 2,200 - 400 = $1,800.
Therefore it should be valued at $1,800.
I do suggest that you watch our free lectures on inventory where this rule is explained.
