            Net Realisable Value (NRV)






          • Definition


                  • Estimated selling price

                  • Less estimated costs of completion

                  • Less estimated selling costs


          • Not the same as FV less costs to sell


                  • NRV is entity‐specific

          • NRV of raw materials is usually replacement

              cost


                  • If used in the production of finished goods, not written down
                     to NRV if the finished good can be sold above cost


          • Annual NRV assessments required


                  • NRV write down - expense to P/L i.e. included in cost of sales

                  • NRV write down reversal - Reduction of expense in P/L

                         • When evidence of change in circumstances exists
                                                                                                                                    17
