cost. The item s replacement cost is below its net realizable value
but is higher than its net realizable value minus a normal profit.
Under the lower of cost or market method, the inventory item
should be valued at:
a. Net realizable value.
b. Original cost.
c. Replacement cost.
d. Net realizable value less normal profit margin.
