Explanation:

It is a requirement of GAAP that inventory be valued at the lesser amount of its incurred cost and the amount for which it can likely be sold—its net realizable value(NRV).  The Lower of Cost or Market Value or net realizable value (LCNRV) is the method of valuing inventory in compliance with this idea that prudently avoids the overstatement of the amount of inventory.

they have a larger number of potential customers because people anywhere can buy from them. ( d.)
