At year-end we gather the following per unit information: current replacement cost = $21.50 current replacement cost = $21.50 selling price = $30 selling price = $30 cost to complete and dispose = $4 cost to complete and dispose = $4 normal profit margin of = $5 normal profit margin of = $5  How would we value this item in the Balance Sheet? 9-8 Lower of Cost or Market Net Realizable Value (Ceiling) Net Realizable Value less Normal Profit (Floor) Replacement Cost =$21.50 Replacement Cost =$21.50 Which one do we use? 9-9 Market value = $21.50 Market value = $21.50 Cost = $20.00 Cost = $20.00 Should the inventory be Should the inventory be recorded at cost or market? recorded at cost or market? Market value = $21.50 Market value = $21.50 Cost = $20.00 Cost = $20.00 Should the inventory be Should the inventory be recorded at cost or market? recorded at cost or market? Market value = $21.50 Market value = $21.50 Cost = $20.00 Cost = $20.00 Since Cost < Market, the LCM Since Cost < Market, the LCM rule would dictate that inventory rule would dictate that inventory be recorded at Cost. be recorded at Cost. Market value = $21.50 Market value = $21.50 Cost = $20.00 Cost = $20.00 Since Cost < Market, the LCM Since Cost < Market, the LCM rule would dictate that inventory rule would dictate that inventory be recorded at Cost. be recorded at Cost.
