Leroy Steele · Answer 1

Cost of Goods Sold 85

Inventory 85

Explanation:

According to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the inventory should be recorded at cost or market value whichever is lower.

So, in this question, we consider the cost and market value of unit B not unit A as it has already lower values

Cost of unit B = $555

And, the market value of unit B = $470

So, the difference is $85 ($555 - $470) would be adjusted

So, the adjusting entry would be

Cost of Goods Sold A/c Dr $85

To Inventory $85

(Being the inventory is adjusted)
