Les stocks de matières premièresmarchandises et approvisionnements doivent être évalués à leur coût d’acquisition.

Les stocks de produits (en-cours ou finis) doivent, quant à eux, être évalués à leur coût de production.

La notion de coût d’un stock est plus « étendue » que celle d’un prix d’achat : en effet, contrairement au prix d’achat, il comprend tous les coûts d’acquisition, de transformation et également tous autres coûts supportés pour amener les stocks à l’endroit et dans l’état où ils se trouvent.

Closing stock is the amount of inventory that a business still has on hand at the end of a reporting period. This includes raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventory. The amount of closing stock can be ascertained with a physical count of the inventory. It can also be determined by using a perpetual inventory system and cycle counting to continually adjust inventory records to arrive at ending balances.
