Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Note: I have just solved the part a of this question here. And Part b is attached in the attachment below. Please refer to the attachment for part b of this question.

Solution:

Cost Retail

Inventory as on Jan-1 30,000 43000

Purchases 104,800 155,000

Purchases Return -2800 -4000

Add: Net Markups

Markups 9200

Markup Cancellations -3200

Total Amount 132000 200000

Less: Net Markups

Markdowns 10,500

Markdowns Cancellation -6500 4000

SP of goods Available 196000

Sales Revenue 154000

Sales Returns And Allowances -8000 146000

Ending inventory at retail 50000

Calculations:

Ratio: Cost to Retail = 132000/200000 = 0.66

Inventory at lower of market = 0.66 x 50000

Inventory at lower of market = 33000

Alandowner and his neighbor purchased adjoining undeveloped lots. after both built homes on their respective lots, the landowner suggested to the neighbor that a common driveway be built where the two lots joined. the neighbor agreed. the landowner and the neighbor split the cost of constructing the driveway and entered into a written agreement to equally share the costs of its upkeep and maintenance. the agreement was recorded in the county recorder's office. two years later, the neighbor built a new driveway located entirely on his lot. the common driveway, which the landowner continued to use but which the neighbor no longer used, began to deteriorate. the landowner asked the neighbor for money to maintain the common driveway, but the neighbor refused to contribute. three years later, the neighbor conveyed his lot to a friend. the friend entered into possession and used only the driveway built by the neighbor. by this time, the common driveway had deteriorated badly and contained numerous potholes. the landowner asked the friend to pay half of what it would take to repair the common driveway. the friend refused. the landowner repaired the driveway and sued the friend for 50% of the cost of repairs. will the landowner prevail?
