Answer:
D) Original cost.
Explanation:
When the company uses the lower of cost or market method, it should assign value to its inventory by calculating the middle figure between replacement cost or net realizable value, and net realizable value - normal profit.
In this case, the market value must be either the replacement cost or the net realizable value, but both values are the highest. Since the original cost is below the market value, but above the net realizable value - normal profit, the inventory must be valued at the original cost.

Answer:
5.31%
Explanation:
FV = 1000
Coupon rate = 5.7%
No of compound = 2
Interest per period = $28.5
Bond price = $1048
No of years to maturity = 20
No of compounding till maturity = 40
Coupon rate set on new bonds = Rate(Nper, PMT, -PV, FV) * 2
Coupon rate set on new bonds = Rate(40, 28.5, -1048, 1000) * 2
Coupon rate set on new bonds = 0.02655 * 2
Coupon rate set on new bonds = 0.0531
Coupon rate set on new bonds = 5.31%
