value of company inventory = $2600

so correct answer is B) $2,600

Explanation:

given data

normal selling price = $20

selling price fallen = $15

current inventory = 200 units

purchased =  $16 per unit

cost fallen = $13 per unit

solution

we know that context inventory meaning is that inventory is reported the lower cost or the replacement cost

here lower is replacement cost = $13

so value of company inventory at lower of cost will be

value of company inventory = 200 units × $13

value of company inventory = $2600

so correct answer is B) $2,600
