Explanation / Answer

(a) Determine the inventory as of December 31, 2013, by the lower-of-cost-or-market method, applying this method directly to each item.


Inventory as of December 31, 2013 = 67670 + 56100+46170 +54000+95480+ (0.5 x 1620 )+87150 =

67670 + 56100+46170 +54000+95480+ 810+87150 = $407380


(b) Determine the inventory by the lower-of-cost-or-market method, applying the method to the total of the inventory.



Market value of part 121 = 1620 x 0.5 = 810

Hence, Market cost total = $438,840 + 810 - $24,300 = $415350 < $447,320


Hence,


Inventory as of December 31, 2013 = $415350
