Answer:

The answer is $16

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now

Market = Present replacement cost

The Upper Limit of Market =Net Realizable value = Estimated Selling Price -Cost of Completion and Disposal

The Net Realizable Value = $20 -$4 =$16

Thus

The Upper Limit of Market =Net Realizable value = $16

Market =Present  replacement cost =$17

So,

Lower Limit of Market = Net realizable value - normal profit margin

Lower Limit of Market =16 (40% of 20)

= 16-8

=8

Thus

If the Present replacement cost is greater or higher than the selling, then the selling amount is the market amount

Therefore, the product should be reported at $16
