Whispering Home Improvement Company installs replacement siding, windows, and louvered glass doors for single-family homes
and condominium complexes. The company is in the process of preparing its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2020. Jim Alcide, controller for Whispering, has gathered the following data concerning inventory.
At May 31, 2020, the balance in Whispering's Raw Materials Inventory account was $428,400, and Allowance to Reduce Inventory
to Market had a credit balance of $26,750. Alcide summarized the relevant inventory cost and market data at May 31, 2020, in the
schedule below.
Alcide assigned Patricia Devereaux, an intern from a local college, the task of calculating the amount that should appear on
Whispering's May 31, 2020, financial statements for inventory at lower-of-cost-or-market as applied to each item in inventory.
Devereaux expressed concern over departing from the historical cost principle. Assume Garcia uses LIFO inventory costing.
