Pharoah Corporation has two products in its ending inventory,
each accounted for at the lower of cost or market. A profit margin
of 25% on selling price is considered normal for each product.
Specific data with respect to each product follows:
Product #1 |
Product #2 |
|
Historical cost |
$10 |
$19 |
Replacement cost |
8 |
12 |
Estimated cost to dispose |
7 |
9 |
Estimated selling price |
20 |
32 |
In pricing its ending inventory using the lower-of-cost-or-market,
what unit values, rounded to the nearest dollar, should Pharoah use
for products #1 and #2, respectively?
$8 and $15. |
$8 and $12. |
$12 and $13. |
$12 and $15. |
Product #1
Ceiling = Net realizable value = Selling price - Costs to sell
= $20 - $7
= $13
Replacement cost = $8
Floor = Ceiling - Normal profit margin
= $13 - ($20 * 25%)
= $8
Market value is the middle of ceiling, replacement cost and floor.
Market value = $8
Lower of cost or market = Lower of $10, $8
= $8
Product #2
Ceiling = Net realizable value = Selling price - Costs to sell
= $32 - $9
= $23
Replacement cost = $12
Floor = Ceiling - Normal profit margin
= $23 - ($32 * 25%)
= $15
Market value is the middle of ceiling, replacement cost and floor.
Market value = $15
Lower of cost or market = Lower of $19,15
= $15
The answer is $8 and $15.
