i meat 38,42 lakhs like I have metioned in the PM i have sent

Finished goods is 22400 and it says 20400. To calculate the inventory, either way, perpetual/periodic, is calculated only for one year/period. 2000 difference exists. For the time being, it is not possible to calculate NRV. I'll give it a look tomorrow as well. 

Yes, like I mentioned before, there is a problem with numbers. Inventory is like valued into finished goods and sold off as per batches. For this period 20,000 sales and 400 left finished goods. Then you have eighty thousand finished goods for which the value of production is unknown. Things must be given with dates, qty, amounts. Only then it can be sorted out. 

Sorry it’s not about the 80 thousand, it’s about the finished goods and produced goods difference. You can ask you teachers. They will have answers. Otherwise they will think you are not educated if you don’t ask doubts. All the best.
