Task 6

Orca has 20 pictures in stock at the year end, all of which cost £100. They sell for £250.

a) What should be their valuation in the year end accounts?
b) After 12 months, 16 of the pictures have sold but Orca is keen to shift the remainder and so reduces the selling price to £175. Extra marketing for these pictures costs £20 each. At what valuation should Orca include these pictures in the year end accounts?
c) One picture remains 12 months later. It is slightly damaged and will cost £60 to repair. Orca has reduced the selling price to £125. At what valuation should Orca include this picture in its year end accounts?

You value stock for the accounts at the lower of cost or sales price. So you will mainly use cost price as more often than not that is lower than the sales price. However if you have stock thats damaged or is now obsolete you may find the selling price is less than the items actually cost.

Hope that helps:001_smile:

Hello,

Task 6 is regarding stock valuation which should be valued at the 'lower of cost and net realisable value'

A) Cost = £ 100, NRV = £ 250 - Value stock at £100
Cost = £ 100, NRV = £ 155 (175-20) - Value stock at £ 100
C) Cost = £ 100, NRV = £ 65 (125-60) - Value stock at £ 65

Remember NRV results from selling price less any costs to bring the item into a saleable condition.

Task 12 - Not clear of question but the journal for interest received should be: -
