Document Summary

The purchase cost of stocks basically, when a company purchases stock from a creditor, whether by cash or on credit, the company would gather the source documents, and enter the details in the books of prime entry. Not necessarily, because first of all, the cost paid for each item purchased may differ during each purchase, either due to discounts, sale, inflation, etc. Furthermore, imagine items being returned others being damaged or stolen. The process of thinking about it is tedious enough imagine trying to record it! Nrv, current replacement costs and the selling price of stocks basically, before we proceed, stock is valued at the lower of its net realizable value and its historical cost value. The net realizable value is the expected selling price for each item of stock less any costs still to be incurred in getting them ready for sale. Current replacement cost is the amount it would cost to replace each item of cost.
