The company values inventory both in cost terms and NRV. Then it considers which ever is lower. Eg. if you purchased computers for 10,0000₹ and want to sell them immediately because you want to buy another one. Currently, your inventory after few days, the market selling price is down to 9,0000₹ it is a loss to you when you sell it. To record this loss, this philosophy is used to value inventory at lower of cost or NRV.
Cos 90,000₹ - closing inventory balance @ NRV
NRV loss write off 10,000₹ Loss is debited to revenue
Inventory 1,00,000₹ - Inventory always recorded at historical cost or NRV
