Pricing the ending inventory


Problem:

M. Corporation has two products in its ending inventory, each accounted for at the lower of cost or market. A profit margin of 30% on selling price is considered normal for each product. Specific data with respect to each product follows:

                                    Product #1    Product #2
Historical cost                   $40.00   $ 70.00
Replacement cost               45.00      54.00
Estimated cost to dispose    10.00      26.00
Estimated selling price         80.00    130.00

In pricing its ending inventory using the lower-of-cost-or-market, what unit values should Marr use for products #1 and #2, respectively?
