Answer:
$43,030
Explanation:
IAS 2 Inventories states that inventory is to be recognized at cost, however, subsequent measurement requires that inventory be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable amount (NRV).
As such, where the cost of inventory is higher than the NRV, it is written down to the NRV using the following entries,
Debit Inventory write off/Cost of goods sold
Credit Inventory account
with the difference between the cost and the NRV.
Inventory Quantity Unit Cost Unit NRV New unit cost
Furniture 230 $88 $103 $88
Electronics 53 $430 $315 $315
From the analysis above, the cost of inventory is lower than the NRV for Furniture, hence no adjustment is required. However, the cost of Electronics is higher than the NRV hence a write down is required. This amount is
= ($430 - $315) × 53
=$115 × 53
= $6,095
Total recorded cost(ending) of inventory before any adjustment
= (230 × $88) + (53 × $430)
= $43,030
