Answer:

D. Cost price or market price which ever is less

Read Explanation:

Work-in-progress (WIP) refers to partially completed goods in a manufacturing process. Accounting principle for valuation of WIP: Conservative / Lower of Cost or Market (Net Realizable Value). Cost price: Expenses incurred so far in producing the goods. Market price / Net realizable value: Estimated selling price minus completion and selling costs. This ensures that assets are not overstated in the financial statements. Other options: Market price: Could overstate WIP. Cost price: Ignores possible fall in realizable value. Selling price: Not used for valuation in accounts.
