What is the correct valuation for Closing Inventory to be included in the financial statements? (Enter numbers only)

How to approach this question

Adjust the total cost of inventory by writing down the damaged items to their Net Realizable Value (NRV).

Full Answer

Total inventory at cost = $350,000. The damaged items must be valued at the lower of cost ($50,000) and NRV ($30,000). Therefore, they must be written down by $20,000. Adjusted closing inventory = $350,000 - $20,000 = $330,000.

Common mistakes

Subtracting the full $50,000 or $30,000 from the $350,000.
