Inventories - are assets (a) held for sale in the ordinary course of business;
(b) in the process of production for such sale; or (c) in the form of materials
or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of
services.
Inventories encompass goods purchased and held for resale including, for
example, merchandise purchased by a retailer and held for resale, or land
and other property held for resale. Inventories also encompass finished
goods produced, or work in progress being produced, by the entity and
include materials and supplies awaiting use in the production process.
In the case of a service provider, inventories include the costs of the
service, as described in paragraph 19, for which the entity has not yet
recognised the related revenue (see IAS 18 Revenue).
Net realisable value - is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.
Fair value - is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a
liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length
transaction.
Net realisable value refers to the net amount that an entity expects to
realise from the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business. Fair
value reflects the amount for which the same inventory could be
exchanged between knowledgeable and willing buyers and sellers in
the marketplace. The former is an entity-specific value; the latter is not. Net
realisable value for inventories may not equal fair value less costs to
sell.
Inventoriable Cost - refer to all costs incurred to obtain or produce the end-
products. Apply these costs to the products the company produces and
sells.
