Explanation / Answer

Maket value is the middle of Ceiling, Floor and Replacement cost.

Ceiling = Net Realizable value = Selling price - Cost of disposal

= 1,140,000 - 52,000

= 1,088,000

Floor = Net realizable value - Normal profit margin

= 1,088,000 - 132,000

= 956,000

Replacement cost = 1,008,000

Market = 956,000

Cost = 1,088,000

Lower of Cost or Market = 956,000

Loss = Cost - Lower of cost or market

= 1,088,000 - 956,000

= 132,000
