Smith Company's inventory cost is $100. The expected sales price is $110, estimated selling costs are $6. The normal gross profit ratio is 20% of selling price. The replacement cost of the inventory is $102. Smith Company uses the LIFO inventory method so must use the lower of cost or market approach and this inventory item should be valued at

$100 Reason: Ceiling is NRV = $110 - 6 = $104. Floor is NRV less normal profit of 20% so $104 - 22 = $82. Replacement cost is $102. Market is the middle of these three values so = $102 compared to cost of $100. Cost is lower so record at cost.
