IF uses FiFO
a. $8. b. $15. c. $16. d. $18.
The answer is B. $16
Market = Current Replacement Cost
Upper Limit of Market = Net Realisable value = Estimated Selling Price - Cost of Completion and Disposal
Net Realisable value = 20-4 = $16
Upper Limit of Market = Net Realisable value = $16
Market = Current Replacement cost = $17
Lower Limit of Market = Net realisalbe value - normal profit margin
Lower limit of Market = 16 - (40% of 20) =16-8 = 8
If the Current replacement cost is greater than the ceiling ,the ceiling amount is the market amount.
The product should be reported at $16
