However, Madam Rabiatul, Terrar Bhd’s accountant had an argument with Mr. Zaman, senior accountant of the company regarding the method to be used to record the write down of the inventories. Madam Rabiatul wants to use the loss method to write down inventory because it is more clearly discloses the decline in the net realisable value and does not distort the cost of goods sold. But, Mr. Zaman prefers the cost-of-goods-sold method to write down because it does not call attention to the decline in net realizable value.
