I need help with the question below

what is the adjusting entry, if any, to adjust inventory to lower of cost or NRV?

Answer 1

Since Loss on writedown is small value as compared to cost of goods sold, we can account loss to Cost of goods sold

In case its higher value, it must be taken to a separate account like Loss on Inventory Write Down

Here, we will take it to Cost of goods sold
