tell me from which date co follow th LIFO method and if possible give me the source of the question.....
As i understand from the quetion is that from 2002 co opts for the LIFO method for valuation of stock
Generally, Valuation of stock under FIFO method results in Higher value of stock in comparision of LIFO, due to the reasion that The FIFO formula assumes that the items of inventory which were purchased or produced first are consumed or sold first, and consequently the items remaining in inventory at the end of the period are those most recently purchased or produced.
Further as per para 16 of AS 2 The cost of inventories, other than those dealt with in paragraph 14, should be assigned by using the first-in, first-out (FIFO), or weighted average cost formula.
However, in case of the adjustment made in quetion provided by you , the adjustment will be required in the current year i.e. 2002 since the co started LIFO method from that year and not in the year 2004.
Now as per para 23 of AS 5 :Any change in an accounting policy which has a material effect should be disclosed. Theimpact of, and the adjustments resulting from, such change, if material, should be shown in the financial statements of the period in which such change is made, to reflect the effect of such change. Where the effect of such change is not ascertainable, wholly or in part, the fact should be indicated. If a change is made in the accounting policies which has no material effect on the financial statements for the current period but which is reasonably expected to have a material effect in later periods, the fact of such change should be appropriately disclosed in the period in which the change is adopted.
AND if you give the quetion in compelete mode then i will try to clarify more (if possible).
