04 February 2010 Inventories are valued cost or net realisable which ever is lower

In you query - you are mentioned about sale price - this is not affect the value of stock

you can take cost price Rs.15000 or if you can calculate the net realiseable value and value the lower of those

05 February 2010 In my view

net realizable value means sales value less the cost of making such sales

So in your problem Sale value Rs.15750 less cost of making such sales Rs.1000 so net realisable value one set Rs.14750

as per AS -2 value of inventory is cost or net realisable value which ever is less so

Cost Rs.15000
Realisable value Rs.14750

So low value Rs.14750 x 10= Ra.147500

I hope this is correct
