Stock loss/gain is only detected when a physical count of stock occurs and
the actual amount is compared with the balance in the stock card. This
stock figure should NOT be deducted from 'Cost of goods sold' in the Profit
and Loss. The purpose of the stock figure revealed in the physical count is
to disclose stock loss/gain and to provide an amount for current assets in
the balance sheet.
The treatment of stock loss is not to be confused with stock revaluation
following the application of the 'lower of cost and net realisable value'
rule. The application of this rule may require a stock write down. The
stock write down is an expense and is debited in the general journal whilst
stock control, the current asset, is credited. The stock write down should
not take place until after allowing for stock loss/gain.
Many students have difficulty adequately defining 'cost' and 'net
realisable value'.

Need a little review to fully understand, great lesson.

Accounting -> A stock control problem A stock control problem Lou Lockwood has a shop selling electronic items, including CD Walkmans. His knowledge of accounting is limited and he only keeps a "list" of his transactions involving Walkmans. All Walkmans are bought on credit and sold for cash. He provides the following information: 1 Oct 4 Walkmans on hand (cost $70 each) 6 3 Walkmans bought on credit (cost $72 each) 10 2 Walkmans sold (cash) for $100 each (1 @ $70, 1 @ $72) 13 1 Walkman withdrawn for owner's personal use ($72) 18 1 Walkman returned by a disgruntled buyer (cost $70) 20 3 Walkmans sold for $100 each (3 @ $70) 22 6 Walkmans bought on credit (cost $72 each) 24 1 Walkman used for advertising (1 @ $72) 31 2 Walkmans sold for $100 each. (2 @ $72) A physical stock take on 31 October revealed 4 Walkmans (1 @ $70, 3 @ $72) on hand. Note: The bracketed amounts will be used for identified cost.
Fruitful information.
