Notes 5.2.4 Stock of Semi-finished Goods

The treatment of the stock of semi-finished goods is mainly depending upon the two different
approaches, viz:
1. Prime cost basis, and

2. Factory cost basis.
The factory cost basis is considered to be predominant over the early one due to the consideration
of factory overheads at the moment of semi finished goods treatment. The indirect expenses are
the expenses converting the raw materials into semi-finished goods which should be relatively
considered for the treatment of the stock valuation rather than on the basis of prime cost.
