3 Inventories
Inventories are presented at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV.). Cost of inventories is recorded under
the basis as follows:
Finished goods and work-in-process - at standard cost which approximates to actual average cost
Raw materials and factory supplies - at cost (first-in, first-out method)
The cost of purchase comprises both the purchase price and costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the
inventories. The Company estimates net realizable value from the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less the estimated expenses necessary to make the sale.
