    C) $104

    Explanation:

    The lower of cost or market approach states that a company must record its merchandise inventory at the lowest cost between the replacement cost and the net realizable value.

    net realizable value = selling price - selling costs = $110 - $6 = $104

    replacement cost = $106

    In this case the net realizable value is lower than the replacement cost.
