Explanation
Lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV) under FIFO
Steps:
- Total units available: 2000 opening + 1000 purchased = 3000 units.
- Closing units: 3000 - 800 sold = 2200 units.
- FIFO cost: sold 800 from opening at 8,000; closing = remaining 1200 opening at 12,000) + 1000 purchased at 10,000) = $22,000 total cost.
- NRV given as $10,800, which is less than cost.
Not enough information: Calculated value is $10,800 (lower of cost/NRV per IAS 2), but this matches option D, not C; table format or numbers may be ambiguous/typo, preventing confirmation of C.
Why C is correct:
- Insufficient data to verify; C may reflect an alternate cost calculation (e.g., adjusted per unit or partial layers), but standard method yields D.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Ignores full closing units/cost layers ($10,000 = purchase only).
- B: Possible miscalculation (e.g., weighted average error), not standard FIFO.
- D: NRV alone, without confirming it's lower than cost.
Final answer: Not enough information.
