Answer:

$366,050

Explanation:

Item                       Units        Cost p/unit     NRV p/unit      selling price

Tin                           65                 $530             $535              $545

Titanium                 20               $5300           $5250            $5410

Stainless steel       85                $2120           $2020            $2100

Aluminum              85                  $370             $300              $305

Iron                        40                  $420             $430              $450

Fiberglass             40                  $320              $315               $315

when a company uses the lower of cost or net realizable value rule, it will record the price of its inventory at whichever is lower between the two (purchase cost or net realizable value).

ending inventory = (65 x $530) + (20 x $5,250) + (85 x $2,020) + (85 x $300) + (40 x $420) + (40 x $315) = $34,450 + $105,000 + $171,700 + $25,500 + $16,800 + $12,600 = $366,050
