单项选择题
An analyst does research about the inventory write-down. A reversal of an inventory write-down from a previous period is most likely reported as a(n):()
A. unrealized gain.
B. decrease in the cost of sales.
C. increase in the inventory valuation allowance.
答案
参考答案:B
解析:
存货的减值:如果存货的成本高于现时的公允价值,此时就需要对存货进行减值,以反映出其真实价值。
IFRS: lower of cost or net realizable value(NRV)
NRV=expected selling price-estimated selling cost
如果NRV低于资产负债表上的账面价值(carrying value),则存货要减值并在利润表上显示为losses。如果日后要恢复,那么就加值,galns反映为当期销货成本(COGS)的减少,记入利润表中。但账面价值不能超过原始成本。
