Answer:

$200 (a deduction)

Explanation:

The accounting standard for inventories IAS 2 requires that inventory be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory will initially be recognized at the cost ( which includes the cost of the item and other associated cost such as freight ). However, its carrying amount must be reviewed to ensure it is not higher than the realizable value.

Given that the selling price is now $15 which is lower than the cost of $16, it means that the amount that can be realized from the sale of a unit is $15.

= $16 - $15

= $1

As such, an adjustment in form of a reduction of the carrying amount of $1 per unit is required. The amount of the lower cost of market adjustment the company must make as a result of this decline in value

= $1 × 200 units

= $200 (a deduction)

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is: market prices that are determined by consumers and producers acting in their own self-interest.

Explanation:

In a market system, the price of a good is determined by the intersection of demand for goods by consumers and the supply of goods by the producers. The price is determined at the point where the market forces of demand and supply are equal.

The producer is trying to maximize its profit while the consumer is trying to maximize its utility. Both are working for their self-interest and in this way are able to allocate scarce resources through the working of the market system.
