(LCNRV) basis in valuing inventories:
Net
Product Cost Realizable Value
A
$126000
$129000
B
80000
72000
C
154000
155000
If Swifty applies the LCNRV basis, the value of the inventory reported on the balance sheet would be
O $352000.
O $360000.
O $356000.
O $364000.

- Inventory Costing When Inventory Quantities Are Small A number of companies have adopted a just-in-time procedure for acquiring inventory. These companies have arrangements with their suppliers that require the supplier to deliver inventory just as the company needs the goods. As a result, just-in-time companies keep very little inventory on hand.
