Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Part A:

Cost = No. of units × cost per unit

= 5 × $5

= $25

Replacement cost = No. of units × cost per unit

= 5 × $4

= $20

Value to be recognized = $20

Part B:

Cost = No. of units × cost per unit

= 10 × $6

= $60

Replacement cost = No. of units × cost per unit

= 10 × $7

= $70

Value to be recognized = $60

Part C:

Cost = No. of units × cost per unit

= 10 × $3

= $30

Replacement cost = No. of units × cost per unit

= 10 × $2

= $20

Value to be recognized = $20

Therefore,

Value of Ending inventory = Sum of recognized value of all the three parts

= $20 + $60 + $20

= $100

Hence, the total value of this company's ending inventory is $100.
