Hire equipment

Didn't find your answer?

A company hires sports equipment for use on holidays (clothing & equipment).
At what value should this be included in the accounts? Cost or replacement value?
Should it still be called "stock"?

Hmmm
Probably depends on the facts.

If a separate stock of hire goods is maintained then depending on the life to the business they could even represent fixed assets. Otherwise its the normal cost or net realisable value - which may well be the case - NRV - as the clothing and equipment could presumably only be sold as second-hand.
