Answer 1

Answer:

€6 million

Explanation:

As we know that

According to the International Financial Reporting Standards, if the net realizable value of the inventory increases then the written down of reversal value is required

So in the given case, the inventory is purchased at €6 million and now it is estimated value is  €7 million so the lower value i.e €6 million should be reported on the balance sheet.
