Transcribed Image Text:Vaughn 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, 2025. Jim Alcide, controller for Vaughn, has gathered the following data concerning inventory.
At May 31, 2025, the balance in Vaughn's Raw Materials Inventory account was $501,840. Alcide summarized the relevant inventory cost and market data at May 31, 2025, in the schedule below.
Alcide assigned Patricia Devereaux, an intern from a local college, the task of calculating the amount that should appear on Vaughn's May 31, 2025, financial statements for inventory under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule as applied to each item in
inventory. Devereaux expressed concern over departing from the historical cost principle. Consider the following expanded data at May 31, 2025. Assume Vaughn uses LIFO inventory costing.
