01 June 2022 As per AS 2 Inventory needs to be valued at COST or NRV whichever is lower. Accordingly for Year1 assume client follows weighted average method for inventory records & closing stock cost was Rs.100 and Market value was Rs.80, therefore valuation was done at Rs.80 as per AS2.
In year2 for valuation what should be cost to be considered to be compared with NRV ? i.e. if NRV is Rs.110 then which cost to be compared i.e. Rs.80 (as per AS2 of year1) or actual cost of Year1 i.e. Rs.100. Kindly give clarification & also reference of AS2. Also is it not considered as upward valuation if compared with opening stock value .
