Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the lower of cost or market for ending inventory applied separately to each product is presented below:

Product        Units (A)        Cost per Unit         Market per Unit   Minimum cost (B)  Value   (A × B)

Helmets       24              $50                       $54                        $50       $1,200

Bats              17               $78                        $72                        $72       $1,224

Shoes          38               $95                        $91                        $91        $3,458

Uniforms     42               $36                         $36                      $36       $1,512

Total cost                                                                                                  $7,394

First we take the lower unit of cost or market and after than the lower unit should be multiplied with the number of units so that the ending inventory could come
