Tatum Company has four products in its inventory. Information about the december 31, 2009, inventory is as follows:
product total total total Net
cost replacement realizable
cost Value
101 $120,000 110,000 100,000
102 90,000 85,000 110,000
103 60,000 40,000 50,000
104 30,000 28,000 50,000
The normal gross profit percentage is 25% of cost.
Determine the balance sheet inventory carrying value at december 31,2009, assuming the LCM rule is applied to individual products.
Assuming that Tatum recognizes an inventory write-down as a separate income statement item, determine the amount of the loss.
