A business was commenced on 1st January and it purchased 5 vehicles, each costing Rs 5,000. During the year the business managed to sell 2 vehicles at the price of Rs 12,000. The current market price of the vehicles is Rs 10,000. How should the remaining 3 vehicles be valued if the business is going to continue its operations in the next year?
Rs 5,000
The going concern concept assumes that the entity will continue running for a foreseeable future & it is valid, all the inventory shall be valued cost price or current market price whichever is lower i.e. Rs 5000 in this case.
