Shares held as Stock in Trade

AS 1400 views 2 replies

AS-2 deals with Inventories but excludes inventors in form of shares held as stock in trade and AS-13 deals with Investments which is not stock in trade.

would like the learned members of this forum to guide me how the stock in trade is to be accounted for in books of accounts. Last year in books of accounts, it was shown as cost, but to my knowledge it has to be either at cost of fair market value as on 31st March whichever is lower.

As per AS-2, stock in trade is accounted in accounts as follows;

Cost Price

or

Market Price

Whichever is LOWER

But AS-2 does not apply to Stock-in-Trade
