There are 110 units of Item B, having a cost of $48 per unit, a selling price of $54 and a cost to sell of $4 per unit. How much is the ending inventory using lower of cost or net realizable value

$7,840

Explanation:

The inventory of Items A and B should be valued at the lower of cost and the net realizable value.

The cost is the invoice price at time of purchase ,while the net realizable value is the selling price less to sell

Products              Cost          Selling price cost to sell NRV    unit value

   A                         $18               $22                $6     $16             $16

   B                          $48              $54                $4    $50             $48

Item A is valued at $16 each i.e $16*160=$2,560

Item B is valued at $48 each i.e $48*110=$5,280

total value of inventory                             =$7,840

The ending inventory valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value is worth $7,840
