How does one value the closing stock in a no sale situation. Eg. Opening stock = 100Gms gold @ Rs.2500/gm Purchases = 100Gms gold @ Rs.3000/gm OR the other way round Sales = 0 Closing Stock Valuation??

Adopt the policy of valuation- "Cost or market value which ever is lower. " . Cost : 100x2500+100x3000= 250000+300000=550000. . Market Value or Net Realisable Value is say Rs. 2700/gm . 200x2700= 540000 . Valuation will be taken at 540000/- .

So Sir, if this is taken at NRV i.e. Rs.540000/- so will it be a no profit no loss situation as there are no sales? To earn a profit or incur a loss, we need to have sales and as per the case there are zero sales? And the answer to this will be as per which law or accounting standard?
