Question:
The use of the lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV) method to value inventory for reporting purposes is a departure from the accounting principle of:
A) Historical cost.
B) Matching.
C) Going concern.
D) Conservatism.
Answer:
The Right answer is A) Historical Cost.
Explanation:
Inventories are recorded at their cost. If inventory declines in value below its original cost, a major departure from the historical cost principle occurs.
Whatever the reason for a decline-damage, physical deterioration, obsolesce, changes in price levels, or other causes, a company should write down the inventory to Lower-of-Cost or Net Realizable Value (LCNRV) to report this loss.
A company abandons the historical cost principle when the future utility (revenue-producing ability) of the asset drops below its original cost.
Net Realizable Value refers to the net amount that a company expects to realize from the sale of inventory. Specifically, net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business minus estimated costs to make a sale.
Example
Inventory Value - Unfinished $2,000
Less: Estimated Cost of Completion $ 50
Estimated Cost to sell <u>200</u> <u> 250</u>
<u>Net Realizable Value 750</u>

Answer:
$667,000
Explanation:
stockholders' equity December 31, 2016 = $540,000
plus net income = $60,000
minus cash dividends = ($18,000)
plus issuance of common stock = $70,000
plus sale of treasury stock = $15,000
stockholders' equity = $667,000
Stock dividends do not affect the value of stockholders' equity, that is why they are not included in this calculation.
