Lower of Cost or Net Realizable Value Rule for Inventory

preview_player
Показать описание
Inventory is presented on the Balance Sheet at the lower of cost or net realizable value, where the net realizable value is the expected selling price minus any costs to complete the sale. If a company's net realizable value decreases such that it is lower than the inventory's cost, the company should take an inventory writedown for the amount of the difference.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) require all companies to use the lower-of-cost-or-net-realizable-value rule. U.S. GAAP also has the lower-of-cost-or-net-realizable-value rule, but companies using LIFO or the retail inventory method use the lower-of-cost-or-market rule instead.

Why wouldn't companies just raise their selling price if NRV<cost to make NRV>cost? If a company sells its product when the NRV<cost, then wouldn't it be operating at a loss?

could u help me with this problem
A company has a year-end of 31 December.
Its inventory records on that date showed an inventory of 600 units with a cost of $10 each.
A fire on 31 December had totally destroyed 100 units and caused a further 50 units to be
damaged. These would cost $7 each to be repaired.
The inventory records had not been adjusted for the fire. The selling price is $15 per unit.
What is the value of the inventory to be used in the financial statements at 31 December?
A $4500 B $4850 C $4900 D $5400
