09 August 2012 Let us not confuse with the word LIVE stock. If your client is in the business of rearing birds, lambs... and so on.. then it will come under CLOSING STOCK and not live stock. In other cases, go by addition deletion entries. Addition to live stock during the year, deletion if any and so on. No question of getting argued with "cost or market price which ever is lower" if it is shown under fixed asset. If market value has gone up / down significantly, report it through NOTE.
