In our industry we are producing fertilizers and during the process a waste of carbon slurry generated. This waste has some market value but not having any cost of production.
Kindly advice whether the same is to be shown in closing stock of the industry while working out the profitability at the end of financial year. It has small and fluctuating market value only.
