Question

At year end, CurlZ Inc.'s inventory consists of 100 bottles of CleanZ with a cost of $1, and a selling price of $0.80 per bottle. It also has 100 boxes of DyeZ with a cost of $10, and a selling price of $11 per box. Using the lower of cost and net realizable value method, the year-end Inventory balance should include which of the following amounts?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,080

Explanation:

The inventory of Curlz Inc. shall be valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.

In case of CleanZ, since the net realizable value is lower than the cost, therefore the inventory of CleanZ shall be placed at net realizable value which is $0.80 per bottle.

In case of DyeZ , since the net realizable value is higher than the cost, therefore the inventory of DyeZ shall be valued at cost which is $10 per bottle.

Value of CleanZ=100*0.80          $80

Value of DyeZ=100*10                 $1,000

Total value of inventory               $1,080
