    D E F G H I

    Estimated selling price $130 $98 $95 $85 $105 $80

    Cost $100 $80 $60 $80 $65 $42

    Replacement cost $110 $65 $70 $50 $70 $40

    Estimated selling expense $25 $25 $20 $20 $25 $25

    Normal profit $30 $18 $25 $27 $22 $20

    net realizable value $105 $73 $75 $65 $80 $55

    When a company uses the lower of cost or market value, it records the price of its inventory at whichever is lower from the original purchase cost or the current market price (replacement cost):

    Item D ⇒ original purchase cost is lower, reported at $100

    Item E ⇒ replacement cost (market value) is lower, reported at $65

    Item F ⇒ original purchase cost is lower, reported at $60

    Item G ⇒ replacement cost (market value) is lower, reported at $50

    Item H ⇒ original purchase cost is lower, reported at $65

    Item I ⇒ replacement cost (market value) is lower, reported at $40
