Explanation / Answer

17. Total value of inventory under cost method:

117000+442000+8000= $ 567000

Total value of inventory under Retail method:

Since for valuing Inventory all the Markups and Markdowns are taken into consideration.

Thus, $ 183000+623000+22000-30000= $798000

Therefore correct option is A.

18. Goods sold as per Cost method=

$106000* $ 98000/ $1400000= $ 742000

Therefore closing inventory as per Cost method= $980000-$742000= $ 238000

Hence, Correct answer is D.$238000, which is lower of Cost or Market method.
