Dear Anu,
As per AS-2 'Valuation of Inventories', stock is valued at lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV).
In the instant case, there is stock of 2000 TV on the balance sheet date. Out of 2000 TV, there is already sale contract in respect of 500 TV. Therefore, in the instant case 1500 TV will be valued at Rs. 7,500 (i.e. lower of cost or NRV) and 500 TV will be valued at cost of Rs. 8,000 (as there is already a sale contract and there is no point that they will be sold at loss).
Hope this answers your query.
