Overview. IAS 2 Inventories contains the requirements on how to account for most types of inventory. The standard requires inventories to be measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV) and outlines acceptable methods of determining cost, including specific identification (in some cases), first-in first-out (FIFO) and weighted average cost.

IAS 2 requires that inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. ‘Cost’ includes all costs of bringing the item to its current location and condition. The cost of inventories should be assigned using either the first-in first-out or weighted average cost method.
About. IAS 2 provides guidance for determining the cost of inventories and the subsequent recognition of the cost as an expense, including any write-down to net realisable value. It also provides guidance on the cost formulas that are used to assign costs to inventories. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The inventories referred to in paragraph 3(a) are measured at net realisable value at certain stages of production. This occurs, for example, when agricultural crops have been harvested or minerals have been extracted and sale is assured under a forward contract or a government guarantee, or when an active market exists and there is a negligible risk of failure to sell.
The cost of inventories also includes excess wasted materials, labor, etc, storage costs, administrative overheads and selling costs. The assets, cost incurred for the harvested crop and cost of service provider are also included. Measurement of Inventories. The inventories are should be measured at the “lower of cost and net realizable value”.

It tells us, among others, what the definition of an inventory is and what should and should not be included in the cost of an inventory at initial recognition. According to the standard subsequent measurement shall be at the lower of net ...
