Dear Sir,
The closing inventory at cost of a co at 31/Jan/20×3 amounted to $284,700. The following items were incl. at cost in that total.
1) 400 coats, which cost at $80 each, normally sold for $150 each, owing to a defect in manufacture, they were sold after the reporting date at 50% of their normal price. Selling expenses amounted to 5% of the proceeds.
2) 800 skirts, cost $20 each. These too were found defective. Remedial work in Feb 20×3 cost $5 per skirt. and selling expenses for the batch totalled $800. They were sold for $28 each.
What sld the inventory value be according to IAS2 inventories after considering the above items?for 1) the answer taking $284,700 – $32,000 + $75×95% x 400. Though the coats were sold after reporting date. We still need to do adjustment as the realisable value was lower.
Am I right to concluded that as long as the realisable value was lower than original ,regardless when the goods were sold, we must do the adjustment? And vice versa?
September 24, 2016 at 10:26 pm #341602Your conclusion is correct!
If they had already been sold then they would not be in inventory anyway!!
Realisable value is the value at which you are expecting to be able to sell them.
Do watch my free lectures on inventory. (The free lectures are a complete course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well)
October 5, 2016 at 4:45 pm #342476thank you, Sir. yah..I did watch all of your lectures first and noticed BPP practise booklet seemed covered wider scope which some questions I really have no clue. Nevertheless, will always refer back to free lectures if got stuck. Really appreciated that.
