The cost to sell for each product consists of a 10 percent sales
commission. The normal profit for each product is 35 percent of the
selling price.

1. Determine the carrying value of inventory at
December 31, 2021, assuming the lower of cost or market (LCM) rule
is applied to individual products.
2. Determine the carrying value of inventory at
December 31, 2021, assuming the LCM rule is applied to the entire
inventory.
3. Assuming inventory write-downs are common for
Forester, record any necessary year-end adjusting entry based on
the amount calculated in requirement 2.

Product (units) | RC | NRV | NRV-NP | Market | Cost | Inventory carrying value |
A (900) | (900*$27)= $24,300 | (900*$27.9)= $25,110 | (900*$17.05)= $15,345 | $24,300 | (900*$25)= $22,500 | $22,500 |
B (900) | (900*$26)= 23,400 | (900*$29.7)= 26,730 | (900*$18.15)= 16,335 | 23,400 | (900*$30)= 27,000 | 23,400 |
C (500) | (500*$17)= 8,500 | (500*$20.7)= 10,350 | (500*$12.65)= 6,325 | 8,500 | (500*$18)= 9,000 | 8,500 |

Calculation of NRV per unit
NRV= Selling price-10% of Selling price
A= $31-(10%*31)= $27.9
B= $33-(10%*33)= $29.7
C= $23-(10%*23)= $20.7
D= $21-(10%*21)= $18.9
E= $28-(10%*28)= $25.2
Calculation of NRV-NP per unit
NRV-NP= NRV-35%*Selling price
A= $27.9-(35%*31)= $17.05
B= $29.7-(35%*33)= $18.15
C= $20.7-(35%*23)= $12.65
D= $18.9-(35%*21)= $11.55
E= $25.2-(35%*28)= $15.4
