Answer:
D. Replacement cost.
Explanation:
As we know that the inventory should be recorded at the cost or market value whichever is lower
Given that 
Original cost is less than the net realizable value subtract the profit margin 
So we assume the following figures 
Original cost $10
Net realizable value 9
Replacement cost 8
NRV less normal profit margin 7
As if we compare the original cost and replacement cost so the lower value is of replacement cost
hence, the same is to be considered
Therefore the correct option is D. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answer is Maverick buying.
Explanation:
Maverick, is a wayward, a dissident, a rebel, someone who refuses to abide by the rules or resists joining a group. The term originates from Samuel A. Maverick (1803-1870), a Texas rancher, who refused to mark his cattle.
The "maverick buying", refers to purchases out of contract or channels established by an organization. For example, the Corporate Supply department negotiates a competitive price for certain particular models of laptops with a distributor. Days later, someone from the Human Resources department requests the purchase of a much more expensive model, for which a discount has not been negotiated.
Another example: traveling in an airline and staying in a hotel other than those with which the company has signed agreements.
The impact of bypassing the preferred purchasing channels and systems can vary from operational inefficiency, to missing out on the advantages of corporate contract negotiation, large fines and even jail time.
