Someone please answer my Query related to  AS 2. This is the second time I am posting the same query.......

How is defective inventory valued at the year end if we expect remedial work expense to make the goods in saleable condition in the next year?How to treat the expected remedial work expense in the curent year? 

Can we take remedial expenses as cost of completion of goods to ascertain NRV Or Is there any other treatment for remedial work expense which is being expected to be incurred  in the next year?

 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION SEE THE QUESTION BELOW..........

 

 

The closing inventory at cost of a company amounted to Rs 284700.The following items were included at cost in the total.
a) 400 coats, which had cost Rs 80 each and normally sold for Rs 150 each. Owing to defect in manufacture, they were all sold after the balance sheet date at 50% of their normal price.Selling expenses amounted to 5% of proceeds.
b) 800 skirts, which had cost Rs 20 each.These too were found to be defective. Remedial work in April cost Rs 5 per skirt, and selling expenses for the batch totaled Rs 800. They were sold for Rs 28 each. What should be the inventory value according to AS 2  after considering the above items.

As per AS-2 damaged goods are specifically excluded from being included in the cost of inventory.So there is no point of including these goods in the cost.

Further if these goods can be sold in future at a certain rate then that value shall be considered for the cost (as AS-2 says cost or NRV whichever is lower).

Further regarding the expenses , provision may be created,

Hope, this will resolve your query.

Sir, Incase provision for exp has not been created by the co. Then what should be the alternative treatment?

THANK YOU SIR 

BUT I WANT TO KNOW THE VALUE OF STOCK AFTER  CONSIDERING THE 2 SUB QUESTION.

WHY IS IT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE FOR REMEDIAL WORK IN THE CURRENT YEAR?

WHETHER THE PROVISION FOR FUTURE REMEDIAL EXPENSE IS TAKEN TO PROFIT AND LOSS OR SHOULD IT BE DEDUCTED FROM THE COST OF SUCH DEFECTIVE GOODS IN THE CURRENT YEAR?

@ Celiena:

If somehow the provision is not been created then it may be considered as a prior period item and shall be included.

 

@ Mahshad:

For calculating exact value some more informations will be required.

As also intimated above we can arrive at the value of closing stock through Cost or NRV whichever is lower.

Provision shall be required if the expenses to be incurred are going to impact the profit of the company upto a great extent,otherwise they shall be considered when incurred in the next year.

For calculating NRV estimated expense will also be adjusted.

Hope,you find this sufficient.!!!!!!!!!!:)

Rise & Shine!!

Value of closing stock at cost =                    284700

(-) Cost of 400 coats (400x80) = 32000

(-) NRV (400x75) - 5%            = 28500            3500

Provision for future repair cost (800x5)             4000

Value of closing stock                             277200

THANK YOU DEAR KRISHNA 

Can you please explain me Why provision for future repair cost is deducted from stock value this year?Is this provision is again debited to  the P & L A/C?

AND WHAT WILL BE THE ENTRY NEXT YEAR WHEN SUCH REMEDIAL EXPENSE ACTUALLY  INCURES ?WHAT WILL BE THE VALUE OF DEFECTIVE GOODS AFTER SUCH REMEDIAL WORK NEXT YEAR?
