Techniques for the measurement of cost
21 Techniques for the measurement of the cost of inventories, such as the standard cost method or the retail
method, may be used for convenience if the results approximate cost. Standard costs take into account normal
levels of materials and supplies, labour, efficiency and capacity utilisation. They are regularly reviewed and,
if necessary, revised in the light of current conditions.
22 The retail method is often used in the retail industry for measuring inventories of large numbers of rapidly
changing items with similar margins for which it is impracticable to use other costing methods.
