Suppose management estimated the market valuation of some obsolete inventory at $99,000; this inventory was recorded at $120,000, which resulted in recognizing a loss of $21,000. The auditors obtained the following information: The inventory in question could be sold for an amount between $78,000 and $92,000. The costs of advertising and shipping could range from $5,000 to $7,000. Required:
a. Would you propose an audit adjustment to the management estimate?
b. Prepare the appropriate accounting entry.

a. An audit adjustment is needed since the best case scenario, where the net realizable value is highest would result in $92,000 - $5,000 = $87,000.

b. the value of inventory must decerase by $99,000 - $87,000 = $12,000, so COGS must increase by that amount:

Dr Cost of goods sold 12,000

    Cr Merchandise inventory 12,000
