Answer:

Sanchez Company

1. The valuation that should be used for the current year ending inventory using lower of cost or net realizable value applied on an item-by-item basis is:

= $4,875.

2. The amount of the write-down is $150.  It will increase the cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31 by $150.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

ENDING INVENTORY, CURRENT YEAR

Item   Quantity on Hand     Unit Cost When     Net Realizable

                                            Acquired (FIFO)     Value (Market)     LCNRV

                                                                           at Year-End

A                      30                      $ 20                       $ 15          $450 ($15*30)

B                      55                         40                          44         2,200 ($40*55)

C                      35                        52                          55          1,820 ($52*35)

D                      15                         27                          32            405 ($27*15)

Total              135                 $5,025                  $5,275       $4,875

Inventory value based on acquisition cost = $5,025 (30*$20 + 55*$40 + 35*$52 + 15*$27)

Inventory value based on NRV = $5,275 (30*$15 + 55*$44 + 35*$55 + 15*$32)

Inventory write-down = Acquisition costs minus Net realizable values

= $150 ($5,025 - $4,875)

The valuation that should be used for the current year ending inventory using lower of cost or net realizable value applied on an item-by-item basis is $4,875.

Lower of cost or NRV

1. Valuation

Item   Total cost    Total Net Realizable  Lower of cost or NRV

A         600                         450                              450

( 30×20 =600)             ( 30×15=450)

B     2,200                       2,420                              2,200

(55×40 =2,200)         (55×44=2,420)

C    1,820                             1,925                            1,820

(35×52 =1,820)            ( 35×55=1,925)

D     405                            480                                    405

(15×27 =405)                 (15×32=480)

Total      5,025                    5,275                            $4,875

2. Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increase by =5,025-$4,875

Cost of goods sold increase by =$150

Inconclusion the valuation that should be used for the current year ending inventory using lower of cost or net realizable value applied on an item-by-item basis is $4,875.
