    What would be the effect on a company’s profit for the year of discovering inventory with cost of 1250 and a net realisable value of 1000 assuming that this item of inventory had not been included in the original inventory count?

    A an increase of 1250
    B an increase of 1000
    C a decrease of 250
    D no effect

    Sir I am unable to understand this question and how I should proceed

    Pls help

    You have obviously not been watching my free lectures – they are a complete course for Paper F3 and I cannot possibly type them all out here!!

    You need to read the provisions of IAS2 – inventory has to be valued at the lower of cost and NRV.

    No. The inventory has not been included, so inventory needs increasing.

    Higher inventory means lower cost of sales and therefore higher profit.
