Chapter 10, Problem 2MC
Denali Company manufactures household products such as windows, light fixtures, ladders, and work tables. During the year it produced 10,000 Model 10X windows but only sold 5,000 units at $40 each. The remaining units cannot be sold through normal channels. Cost for inventory purposes on December 31 included the following data on the unsold units:
Denali can sell the 5,000 windows at a liquidation price of $20.00 per window, but it will incur a packaging and shipping charge of $7.50 per window.
Required:
- 1. Identify the relevant costs and revenues for the liquidation sale alternative. Is Denali better off accepting the liquidation price rather than doing nothing?
- 2. Assume that Model 10X can be reprocessed to another size window, Model 20X, which will require the same amount of labor and overhead as was required to initially produce, but sells for only $33. Determine the most profitable course of action—liquidate or reprocess.

ABC Co. has the following items in inventory:
i) Goods purchased for resale at a cost of $40,000. The recent downturn in the economy has
meant that these goods will now sell for $42,000 with costs to sell of $2,500.
ii)Materials purchased at a cost of $30,000 per tonne which will be sold at a profit. The
manufacturer of the materials has just announced that from now on they will sell these materials
to you at a lower price of $28,000 per tonne.
iii)Plant constructed for a specific customer at a cost of $50,000 and an agreed price to the
customer of $60,000. New health and safety requirements mean that the plant will need to be
modified at a cost to ABC Co. of $4,000 before it can be delivered to the customer.
At what value should each of the above be included in the inventory of ABC Co?
