Chapter 7: inventory and cost of goods sold. The pupil who is never required to do what he cannot do, never does what he can do. Learning objective 7-4: report inventory at the lower of cost or market. The value of inventory can fall below its recorded cost for two reasons: (1) it"s easily replaced by identical goods at a lower cost or (2) it"s become outdated or damaged. The first case is common for high-tech electronics. As companies become more efficient at making these cutting-edge products, they become cheaper to make. The second case commonly occurs with fad items or seasonal goods such as american eagle "s winter coats, which tend to drop in value at the end of the season.
