Not sure 'cause am a newbie
You are share trader means you hold share for sale in ordinary course of business therefore AS-2 shall apply for your valuation of inventory
First of all, shares worth rupees 10,000 can not be entered in the book of accounts
Secondly according to AS-2 cost of inventory for these shares would be cost of purchase + conversion cost + cost for bringing inventorry to present location and condition , which is NILL FOR YOU
Therefore in your register you will increase the quantity of shares BUT WILL NOT CHANGE THE TOTAL VALUE OF SHARES
So say you have 100,000 shares worth 10,00,000 rupees
now your new stock of shares in your register should be (assuming you get 1000 shares @ 10)
101,000 shares WORTH 10,00,000 rupees
so your trading and p&L (assuming all shares are sold at 12 per share)
stock debit 10,00,000 sales credit 12,12,000 (101,000 @ 12)
p&L 2,12.000
