Total 37,130 43,400 35,530

Working:

1) NRV : Selling price less cost to sell. Cost to sell = 20% of selling price

2) NRV less normal profit margin: Profit =30% of the selling price

3)

Product selling price NRV per unit NRV-NP
A 19 19-(20%×19) =15.2 15.2-(30%×19)=9.5
B 21 21-(20%×21)= 16.8 16.8-(30%×21)=10.5
C 11 11-(20%×11)=8.8 8.8-(30%×11)=5.5
D 9 9-(20%×9)=7.2 7.2-(30%×9)=4.5
E 16 16-(20%×16)=12.8 12.8-(30%×16)=8

4) Inventory value = Lower of cost or market.
