Discarded inventory is accounted for in the inventory calculation. It becomes Cost of Goods Sold.
For example say your beginning inventory is $20,000, about a quarter of that is old. You throw out $5000 of inventory. You ending inventory is now $15,000.
I am leaving out the normal things that affect your inventory such as sales and new purchases, just to keep the point clear.
