In 2020, Orear Manufacturing purchased inventory in 2020 for $700,000.

Answer #1

As per the accounting standard the goods at the end of the year should be valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower . This method is known as conservatism which means that there should be no overstatement of asset as well as income.

So in the above case the purchased inventory for $700,000 was damage and the net realizable value of those goods at the end of the year was $510,000 . As the net realizable value is lower than the purchased amount therefore the good should be reported on the net realisable value on December 31, 2020 which is $510,000

Therefore the correct answer is $510,000

So the correct option is 1st.
