Definition of Inventories

Assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business
In the process of production for such sale
In the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in production or rendering of services

Measurement of Inventories

Measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV) for each separate item or group of inventory items

Cost of Inventories

Comprises:
- Cost of purchase
- Costs of conversion
- Other costs incurred in bringing inventories to their present location and condition

Cost of Purchase

Purchase price
Import duties and other taxes
Transport, handling, and other costs directly attributable to acquisition of finished goods, services, and materials
Less: trade discounts, rebates, and other similar items

Costs of Conversion

Cost of inventories may not be recoverable if:
- Damaged, obsolete, or selling price declined
- Estimated costs of completion or sale have increased

Net Realisable Value (NRV)

Estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business
Less: estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale
Situations where NRV < cost:
- Increase in costs or fall in selling price
- Physical deterioration of inventory
- Obsolescence of products
- Decision to manufacture and sell at a loss
- Errors in production or purchasing

Recognition as an Expense

Carrying amount is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised

Allocation of Fixed Production Overhead

Based on normal capacity of production facilities
Normal capacity is the production expected to be achieved on average over a number of periods or seasons under normal circumstances

This quiz covers the accounting treatment for inventories, including the determination of cost and its subsequent recognition as an expense, and any write-down to net realizable value.
