Goodnight sir,
I came across this question and need some help.
A retail business has the following two items of inventory at its year end.
Item Cost Net Realisable Value
$ $
X 1600 1660
Y 1400 1250Applying the prudence concept , what should be the valuation of this inventory in the balance sheet of the business?
Any assistance is welcome, thank you
February 8, 2021 at 9:29 am #609638We always value inventory at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Therefore X is values at $1,600 and Y is valued at $1,250
This is all explained in my free lectures on inventory. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

February 9, 2021 at 8:02 am #609765Click on ‘ACCA’ on the top bar. A new bar then appears and click on ‘FA’.
That will take you to a page listing all of our free resources for Paper FA.
