At December 31, Software City's perpetual inventory records included the following cost layers in its inventory of WordCrafter programs Purchase Date Nov. 14 Dec. 12 Total available for sale at Dec. 31 Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost 14 24 38 $ 390 $ 310 $5,460 7,440 $12,900 a. At December 31, Software City takes a physical inventory and finds that all 38 units of WordCrafter are on hand. However, the current replacement cost (wholesale price) of this product is only $250 per unit. 1. Prepare the entries to record this write-down of the inventory to the lower-of-cost-or-market at December 31.
