Question

Garcel, Inc. held unfinished inventory at a cost of $85,000 with a sales value of $125,000. The inventory will cost $10,500 to complete. The normal profit margin is 30% of sales. The replacement cost of the inventory was $75,000. If Garcel uses the last-in, first-out method to determine inventory cost, what amount should Garcel report as inventory on its balance sheet

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Net realizable value (NRV) will be:

= $125,000 - $10,500

= $114,500

Normal profit will be:

= $114,500 - (30% × $125,000)

= $114,500 - $37,500

= $77,000

The amount should Garcel report as inventory on its balance sheet should be $77,000.
