Company's majority of stock which worth's 2 crores of the total stock of rs.2.9 crores was lost due to a fire accident in the month of August and the stock was not insured. Company can recover nothing fom the stock lost. In this situation, I think, company has to recognise the entire loss in this financial year. Am I correct?
