C. Describe the nature of the contract in a note to the financial statements, recognize a loss in the income statement, and recognize a reduction in inventory equal to the amount of the loss by use of a valuation account.

 

As per IAS2 the Inventory has to be recognized at Cost or Net Realizable Value (NRV) in present case the cost of Inventory is less than its Purchase price. So it will be recognized at NRV and Loss will be booked in P & L A/c
