Conventional Retail Method: Conventional retail method refers to the estimation of the lower of average cost or market by eliminating the markdowns from the calculation of the cost-to-retail percentage.
In this case, the cost-to-retail percentage will be determined by dividing the goods available for sale at cost by the goods available for at retail (excluding markdowns). Thus, the conventional retail method will always result in lower estimation of ending inventory when the markdowns exist.
Ending inventory: The inventory that remains at the end of an accounting period and could not be sold in the current period is known as ending inventory.
To Calculate: The December 31 ending inventory as cost using the conventional retail inventory method.
