Hello Sir!
I am a bit confused in determining the value of the inventory under case two.
At 30th Sept 20x1, the closing inventory of a company amounted to $386400. The following items were included in this total at a cost:
CASE 1 - 1000 items which had cost of $18 each. these items are sold on Oct 20x1 for $15 each and the company incurred $800 costs to sell the goods
CASE 2 - five items which had been purchased for $100 each eight years ago, these items were sold on Oct 20x1 for $1000 each, net of selling expenses
what figure should appear in the company's statement of financial position at 30th Sept 20x1?
closing inventory - 386400
case 1 -
cost = 18*1000= 18000
nrv = (15*1000)-800 = 14200
cost or nrv (wel)
hence NRV = 14200
case 2 -
NRV = 1000*5 = 5000
I am a bit confused about calculating the cost of the inventory under case 2.
please help me out in determining the cost of the inventory under case 2.
thanks in advance!

MCQ on inventory
Hi,
Does it not give you the cost when it says they were bought eight years ago for $100? Given they were then sold at above cost then there wouldn't be any adjustment to the value of the year-end inventory in this instance.
Thanks
Thank you!
