At the end of a reporting period, a company determines that its ending inventory has a cost of $300,000 and a net realizable value of $230,000. What would be the effect(s) of the adjustment to write down inventory to net realizable value?

1.Cost of Goods Sold Increase by $70,000

2.Gross Profit and Net Profit decrease by $70,000

3.Inventory in balance sheet decrease by $70,000

Explanation:

IAS 2 requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

In our case the inventory will be valued at net realizable value of $230,000 because this is lower.

The effect with this is :

1.Cost of Goods Sold Increase by $70,000

2.Gross Profit and Net Profit decrease by $70,000

3.Inventory in balance sheet decrease by $70,000
