Answer:
As per GAAP, inventory is to be valued at cost or market value whichever is lower.
Given,
Replacement Cost = $600,000
Cost = $625,000
Net Realisable Value = Selling Price - Cost To Sell = $720,000 - $30,000 = $690,000
Maket Value = Net Realisable Value - Normal Profit Margin = $690,000 - $80,000 = $610,000
Cost is greater than Market Value. Therefore, $610,000 should be the reported value
