Amira Schultz · Answer 1

(A) $338000.

Explanation:

According to the Generally Accepted Accounting principles, the inventory should be recorded at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower.

So, the inventory should be reported by this method in the books of accounts.

Now

For A - $111000

For B - $74,000

For C - $153,000

So, the total value would be equal to

= $111,000 + $74,000 + $153,000

= $338,000
