In some instances, accounting principles require a departure from valuing inventories at cost alone. Determine the proper unit inventory price in the following cases. Cases 1 2 3 4 5 Cost \(15.90 \)16.10 \(15.90 \)15.90 $15.90 Sales price 14.80 19.20 15.20 10.40 17.80 Estimated cost to complete 1.50 1.90 1.65 .80 1.00 Estimated cost to sell .50 .70 .55 .40 .60

The cost of inventory in case 1 equals $12.80, case 2 equals $16.10, case 3 equals $13, case 4 equals $9.20, and case 5 equals $15.90.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of net realizable value

The net realizable value is calculated as follows:

Case1

Case 2

Case 3

Case 4

Case 5

Calculation of inventory price

The inventory price is calculated as follows:

Case1

Case 2

Case 3

$9.20

$15.90

Thus, the cost of inventory from Case 1 to case 5 equals $12.80, $16.10, $13, $9.20, and $15.90, respectively.
