Prepare the journal entry Peterson Furniture Designs would record on December 31 to write down its inventory to LCM/NRV.

Journal entry

31 December  Debit Inventory write_down (loss) 1550, Credit inventory 1550

Explanation:

Inventory is accounted for at the lower of cost or net realizable value. inventory write_ down is impairment  a loss to the organisation

there can never be a gain when revaluing inventory,  either it remains at cost or goes down with NRV

Dingo ( 35 units)                                         1225             1225                 0

Elephant ( 400 units )                                 6000           4800                1200

                                                                    18145            16615              1550

COUGAR has a high market value so we value it at cost because it is the lower of the two.
