Boots
 
Parkas
Historical cost
 
$239.40
 
$133.56
 
$66.78
Selling price

(a) The two limits to market value (i.e., the ceiling and the floor) that should be used in the lower-of-cost-or-market computation for skis. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.)

 


(b) The amount that should be used in the lower-of-cost-or-market comparison of boots. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.)

 


(c) The amount that should be used to value parkas on the basis of the lower-of-cost-or-market. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.)

 
Expert Solution
Step 1

 

Ceiling = Selling price - cost to distribute 

Floor = Selling price - cost to distribute - Normal profit margin

Determining the market value of the inventory;

1. If the replacement cost > NRV, market value is = NRV(ceiling)

2. If the replacement cost < (NRV-normal profit margin),  Market value is = Floor  limit
