Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for a sole proprietor converting personal gold into stock for their jewellery business. The key question is whether to record the asset at its original purchase price or its fair market value. The consensus indicates that stock in trade should be valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value, which is standard practice for sole proprietorships.

At cost or net realisable value which is lower.

Stock in trade means the stock which is purchased in the business for resale purposes. Inventory valuations for it. 

Sir if a owner of jewelery shop. introduce his personal gold of rs 10 lac ( purchase price) and ( fair market price is 50 lac) in his sole proprietor firm as a stock in trade at which value it is recorded?
thanks in advance

10 lacs. The inventory valuations are same for sole proprietorship.
