Respuesta :

Answer:

B. $156,600

Explanation:

The computation of the amount for adjustment made to the inventory for the company is shown below:          

Product Line Cost per unit Market value per unit Lower of Market value or Cost Cost or Market value Diff per unit Qty Adjustment Required

Rustic   $785   $895  $785  Cost value No adjustment required as cost is lower

Mediterranean $685  $775  $685  Cost value No adjustment required as cost is lower

Contemporary $1,115  $680  $680 Market value $435  360  $156,600

Since in the contemporary product line the market value per unit is lower than the cost per unit so we take the difference and then multiply the quantity so the value comes is $156,600
