9y ago#1You 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.
SO sir wont there be an decrease in profit??

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