Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Work in Process and Finished Goods- Lower of cost and net realisable
value. Cost includes direct materials, labour and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is
determined on a weighted average basis.
Net Realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external
factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average
cost of capital.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

b) a probable outflow of resources is expected to settle the obligation
and; the amount of obligation can be reliably estimated; Reimbursements
expected in respect of expenditure required to settle a provision is
recognised only when it is virtually certain that the reimbursement
will be received.
Contingent Liability is discolsed in case of
a) a present obligation arising from the past event, when it is not
