At December 31, 2020, the loss that Oriole should recognize is $123,000

Explanation:

Given:

Estimated selling price = $ 1,050,000

Estimated cost of disposal = $43,000

Normal profit margin = $123,000

Current replacement cost = $927,000

Net realizable value of the inventory = Estimated selling price - Estimated cost of disposal

Net realizable value = $1,050,000 - $43,000 = $1,007,000

Replacement cost = $927,000

Net realizable value - Normal profit = $1,007,000  - $123,000 = $884,000

The replacement cost will be taken as the market value of the inventory because it is higher than the floor (net realizable value - normal profit) and lower than ceiling (net realizable value).

Cost of inventory = $1,007,000

Loss to be recognized using lower of cost or market rule  = Cost - market value

= $1,007,000 - $884,000 = $123,000
