I don’t understand why there is a dot in between the numbers. Give me the real numbers and it can be sorted out

AS PER ACCOUNTING STANDARD 2 VALUATION BASIS IS COST OR MARKET VALUE WHICHEVER IS LESS.
IF YOU CANT COMPUTE THIS .
GIVE ME REAL LIVE EXAMPLES.

THESE ARE EXTRACT FROM CLASS 12 COST AND ACCOUNTING BOOK.

. I was wondering why the numbers are like that. It happens every not one n B.com and CEC. Even b.com has inventory valuation as lower of cost or NRV 

While pursuing ca course also these type of problems are there.
solve it at the earliest.

Sorry to hear CA questions are sometimes tricky. I know that questions have additional matter to confuse and we have to use only the relevant data. CPA is better I guess, because I remember trying an online exam and questions are asked precisely.

For the above, no answer because numbers are not correct.
