Answer:

Inventory will be reported on the Statement of Financial Position / Balance Sheet at $43,000.

Cost of Goods Sold will be reported on the Income Statement / Statement of Profit and Loss at $455,000

Explanation:

Hie, I have attached the full question as images below

When applying the​ lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) rule to inventories, inventories are valued at the amount whichever is lower between the Historical Cost of Inventory and the Net Realizable Value of Inventory (Estimated amount after sale).

Where,

Historical Cost of Inventory = $58,000

Net Realizable Value of Inventory = $43,000

Therefore

Inventories will be valued at $43,000 which is lower. The write down of Inventory of $15,000 ($58,000 - $43,000) will increase the Cost of Goods Sold

Thus, the new Cost of Goods Sold will be $455,000 ($440,000 + $15,000)
