Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Product  Inventory    Cost per Unit  Market Value per Unit     LCNRV

              Quantity                              (Net Realizable Value)

Model A       12                $106                   $102                  $1,225 (12*$102)

Model B      45                    84                       70                     3,150 (45*$70)

Model C     36                  254                    243                     8,748 (36*$243)

Model D     31                     85                      88                     2,635 (31*$88)

Model E     41                    132                    148                      5,412 (41*$132)

Total cost of inventory based on LCNRV (per item)        $21,170
