A company normally sells its product for $20 per unit. However, the selling price has fallen to $15 per unit. This company's current inventory consists of 200 units purchased at $16 per unit. Replacement cost has now fallen to $13 per unit. What is the amount of the lower cost of market adjustment the company must make as a result of this decline in value?

$200 (a deduction)

Explanation:

The accounting standard for inventories IAS 2 requires that inventory be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory will initially be recognized at the cost ( which includes the cost of the item and other associated cost such as freight ). However, its carrying amount must be reviewed to ensure it is not higher than the realizable value.

Given that the selling price is now $15 which is lower than the cost of $16, it means that the amount that can be realized from the sale of a unit is $15.

= $16 - $15

= $1

As such, an adjustment in form of a reduction of the carrying amount of $1 per unit is required. The amount of the lower cost of market adjustment the company must make as a result of this decline in value

= $1 × 200 units

= $200 (a deduction)
