Given the acquisition cost of product ALPHA is $34, the net realizable value for product ALPHA is $33.50, the normal profit for product ALPHA is $2.50, and the market value (replacement cost) for product ALPHA is $29.50, what is the proper per unit inventory price for product ALPHA?

Respuesta :

Answer: $31.00

Explanation:

Given that,

Acquisition cost of product ALPHA = $34

Net realizable value for product ALPHA = $33.50

Normal profit for product ALPHA = $2.50

Market value for product ALPHA = $29.50

By applying LCM,

Per unit inventory price for product ALPHA = Net realizable value - Normal                           profit for product

                                                                            = $33.50 - $2.50

                                                                            = $31.00
