Instructions
(a) Using the conventional retail method, prepare a schedule computing estimated lower-of-cost-or market inventory for October 31, 2013.
(b) A department store using the conventional retail inventory method estimates the cost of its ending inventory as $60,000. An accurate physical count reveals only $47,000 of inventory at lower-of-cost or market. List the factors that may have caused the difference between the computed inventory and the physical count.
