Lower of Cost or Market Value

The accounting principle known as lower of cost or market value (LCM) is used to estimate the worth of items on a firm's balance sheet. According to the LCM principle, inventory's value should be reported at the lower of its cost or market value.  The projected selling price of a product in the regular course of business is referred to as market value. This price is determined by taking into consideration all pertinent elements, such as market circumstances and recent prices for comparable commodities. The cost of the inventory is made up of the purchase price as well as any additional expenses incurred to get the inventory to where it is now.
