Dear Anu,

You have to understand one thing that stock is always valued at lower of cost and NRV. Thus, in the instant case, the closing stock will be valued not at Rs. 10 lakhs (i.e. 40*25%) but at 9.90 lakhs ( i.e. 11 lakhs - 1.10 lakhs).

Please read the definition of NRV as contained in As-2 'Valuation of Inventories'.Hope the above answers your query

Dear Anu,

Its good that you too solved and got the same answer. Further, thanks for reminding me that I still have to give answer for rest of the two questions :).

In respect of those two questions, I have already send message to you (please check your PM) as the same were not very clear. So I would request you to see the PM and revert.
