Concept explainers
1.
LCM (Lower of Cost or Market) approach: It is an approach that values the inventory at historical cost or lesser than the market replacement cost. The replacement cost refers to the amount that could be realized from the sale of the inventory.
NRV (Net Realizable Value): It refers to an estimated selling price that a company expects to collect in the form of cash from the customers by the sale of inventory. The value is reduced by the expected cost of completion, disposal and transportation. Sales commission and shipping costs also included in the predictable cost.
To Calculate: The carrying value of inventory at year-end by using the rule of LCM and NRV applied to (a) individual products, (b) product categories, and (c) total inventory.
2.
The amount of the loss for (a) individual products, (b) product categories, and (c) total inventory and record the adjusting entry .

A profit margin of 30% on the selling price is considered normal for each product. Specific data for each product are as follows: Inventory Write-Down Use the information in E8-1. Assume that Stiles uses the LIFO cost flow assumption and is applying the LCM rule. Required: 1. What is the correct inventory value for each product? 2. Next Level With regard to requirement 1, what effect does the imposition of the constraints on market value have on the inventory valuations?arrow_forward( Appendix 6B) Inventory Costing Methods: Periodic System Harrington Company had the following data for inventory during a recent year: Assume that Harrington uses a periodic inventory accounting system.
