AS 20 - Adjustment of EPS

Hi All,
I have a doubt in AS 20. In case a company is incorporated on 7th Jan and the books are closed on 30th March, should the EPS that we calculate be adjusted for the entire year...since it would normally be only for 3 months since the operations were carried out only for 3 months.

diff b/w conservatism and prudence

Or they mutually agree or disagree?

Suppose when we are valuing inventory we take cost or NRV which ever is less.

But is it prudent to show like that as it is not showing the real values of stock.
