    Lower of cost or Market

    The historical cost is 260

    So we need to find the market value

    First we have to determine the floor and ceiling

    (NRV) Ceiling = selling price - cost to complete and disposal = $310

    Floor=NRV-normal profit margin = 310 - (0.35*310) = $201.5

    Market price cannot be above ceiling or below floor so we should use the current replacement cost of $240

    To calculate the ending inventory = 240*60 = 14,400 (in stock)
