18 June 2008How would I value the following stock on 31st March?
Metallic Powder costing Rs. 1 lakh (bought 3 years back) which has Nil Market value today. And to remove that stock from the factory an additional cost of Rs. 10,000/- has to be incurred.
Also what accounting entry has to be passed when that stock would actually be removed??

Stock should be valued at NIL. and the expense which is to be incurred in future for Rs. 10,000/- need not be considered and the same needs to be accounted and charged to P&L as and when incurred.

Dear Shikha, When you consider the value of the Metallic Powder to be Nil, that metallic powder no longer remains 'stock' and it takes shape of a garbage,hence to think that the expenses on removal Rs. 10000/- when deducted from NRV Rs. NIL will give negative value is a based on wrong footing.The amount spent on removing garbage is to be debited to P&L account.
So far as the accounting entry is concerned,you need not pass any entry as you must have already debited your Metallic Powder opening stock account by the value at which it was valued last year and your Manufaturing account will be debited to that extent automatically.
