How to valuate stock ?
Stocks (inventory) have to be valued at cost. Generally consignment is sent at invoice price. But the stocks have to be shown at cost. So when consignor is preparing final accounts, adjustment has to be made from the stock to arrive at cost price. 5 DECEMBER 09

11
Example : A sent goods of invoice price 1200 to B. Which are lying in godown of B. What inventory will you show on 31/3/10? Invoice price is 20% above cost. Here we have to prepare stock reserve account to adjust for the profit element in stock. 20/120 * 1200 = 200 so 200 will be transferred to stock reserve account. Thus inventory will be of (1200 – 200) = 1000 only in real terms (at cost). 5 DECEMBER 09
