    C ₹10,92,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹10,72,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As per Accounting standards, inventory must be valued at the Lower of Cost or Net Realizable Value (NRV).   Cost: Given as ₹12,00,000.   Calculating NRV: ·        Estimated Selling Price: ₹11,50,000 o   Less: Estimated costs necessary to make the sale: 5% of 11,50,000 = ₹57,500 o   Less: Estimated costs of completion (Packaging): ₹20,000 Thus, NRV = 11,50,000 - 57,500 −20,000 = 𝟏𝟎 , 𝟕𝟐 , 𝟓𝟎𝟎 . Since NRV (₹10,72,500) is lower than Cost (₹12,00,000), the inventory is recorded at ₹10,72,500.
