Dear Saurabh Kapoor, Rent of the godown is an indirect expense in fact the inventory is stored in godown and so is debited to profit & loss account rather adding to the cost of inventory as rent is paid in aggregate for whole godown collectively and not separately for each type of stock/ inventory. Hence, it will be charged from P&L Account.......

Dear Saurabh, Rent will never going to add in the inventory cost as it will be shown in the profit and loss account seperately, hope you got the answer you were looking, have a nice day dear.........

21-Nov-2011 , 05:02:44 pmAccording to me, Rent is an indirect expense and the expense will be debited to P&L a/c,. But this is not the end solution, because we will consider rent (if it will be incurred in future)in costing so as to find the actual cost and get the reqd returns by selling the inventories.
