The ending inventory is:

= $4,888.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Item      Units     Unit Cost     Net Realizable Value   Value of Ending

Cameras:                                                                       Inventory (LCNRV)

Minolta      3            $172                 $152                             $456 ($152 * 3)

Canon       9              140                   170                              1,260 ($140 * 9)

Light meters:

Vivitar      13              130                   100                              1,300 ($100 * 13)

Kodak     16               117                    128                              1,872 ($117 * 16)

Total value of Ending Inventory based on LCNRV =          $4,888

b) The Lower of cost- or net realizable value method of valuing ending inventory determines the value by choosing the lower value between the cost price of the inventory and the net realizable value.  The purpose that is served by using the LCNRV method is that it reflects the decrease of inventory value when it goes below its original cost while at the same time it does not recognize the increased market value when the cost is lower.
