17 December 2014 We have started a business of waste paper collection from door to door house/shops/factories in that we use to purchase from the market @Rs.10-12/kg. we want to book purchases in our books against the purchase invoice issued to the respective sellers for value as well as weight in the system but it is observed that when we finally count/ weight of the material purchased there becomes difference of weight in the inventory balance with us in the month end, Due to moisture/ weather fluctuation/ pilferage carrying the stock to the godown.
please advise how to treat shortage/excess stock in the books of account.how to take effect of the same in the balance sheet.
