$4,875.
$4,200.
$3,800.
$4,000.
$4,300.
COGS = $40,000 x 90% = $36,000
Costs available for sale = $11,000+ $29,000 = $40,000
EI = $40,000 - $36,000 = $4,000
2. A company has inventory of 14 units at a cost of $13 each on June 1. On June 3, it

Under the lower of cost or market method, the total value of this company's ending
inventory is:
$640.00.
$1,560.00.
$960.00.
$1,560.00 or $640.00, depending upon whether LCM is applied to individual
