Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to account for inventory when a promotional gift is received alongside a purchase. The consensus leans towards recording the entire inventory, including the gift, at its fair value. While the purchase price is Rs 1 crore, the total inventory received is Rs 1 crore 50 thousand. The Rs 50 thousand promotional gift should be recognised, potentially as a gain or reduction in cost of sales, rather than simply ignoring it or valuing the inventory solely at the payable amount.

1.5 in the inventory

1 in cos

0.5 as gain

You have 1 in trading cause it sets off with purchases

Not getting you sir

If that particular 50 k is not payable by the company, at that time you should book the value of 1 Cr but at the same time you should punch the whole inventories ( promotional gifts too ) in your books .

In pl

Dr. Inventory 1

Cr. Cost of sales 1

 

Again

Dr. Inventory 0.5 

Cr. Gain/promotions 0.5

But why we are booking 50k as gain in books instead we record the inventory at 1 crore which reduces the cost per unit

Inventory is valued at lower of cost or NRV but not purely on purchases cost. As, indas, IFRS 2 doesn't address  free stock. But revenue recognition does as part of variable consideration eg. Buy one product and demand one free. If it's a b2b scenario, accounting must be done right?
