Explanation / Answer

1) If the lower of cost or Net Realizable value rule is applied to individual products of Inventory then we will compare per unit cost and NRV of each individual product for valuation of inventory.   

Carrying Value of Inventory at December 31,2018 (Amount in $)

Sales Commission

(10% of sale Price)

Net Realisable Value

(Sale Price-Sales commission)

Value of Inventory

(Quantity*Lower of NRV or cost)

The Net Realizable value of inventory is $41,670 which is lower than its cost (i.e.$43,900). Thus there will be decline in this case of $2,230 in the value of Inventory.

2a) If the Lower of cost or NRV rule is applied to the entire inventory, then we will compare the aggregate amount of cost or NRV of all the products of inventory.

  Carrying Value of Inventory at December 31,2018   (Amount in $)

The lower of cost or NRV is $43,900 (i.e. cost) thus in this case there is no decline in cost

2c) Year End Adjusting entry (Amount in $) (for part 1)

Product Quantity Unit Cost Sale Price

Sales Commission

(10% of sale Price)

Net Realisable Value

(Sale Price-Sales commission)

Lower of NRV or Cost

Value of Inventory

(Quantity*Lower of NRV or cost)
