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)
