    I’ve had a few requests for April/May Study Groups…March will be here before you know it.

    In order to take an early April exam, you should begin studying…now. 🙂

    I believe with IFRS inventory is valued at the lower of cost or NRV so the answer would have still been $610,000, right?

    @Miss–What you are describing is lower cost or market (LCM) and it is for valuing inventory.

    Answer is B

    Debit prepaid services and credit services expense for $60,000.

    Initial entry

    Expense……..DR 90,000

    Cash……………………………………CR 90,000

    Reverse the wrong entry ( Increase prepaid, and decrease Expenses)

    Prepaid ……..DR 60,000

    Expense……………………………………CR 60,000

    REG -63│ 84!!
    BEC- 59│70│ 71 │78!
    AUD- 75!
    FAR- 87!

    @missbehaved.

    I rule to remember is that Replacement cost can never go above NRV (ceiling) or below NRV-profit margin (floor) – when RPL Cost goes above NRV, the market value automatically assumes the NRV value (ceiling) and when it goes below the NRV-profit margin (floor), it the market value assumes that value as well. this process is considered finding your market value.

    for example from the problem we just had:

    RPL Cost = 150

    NRV (Ceiling) = 240

    NRV-profit margin (Floor) = 208.

    when you order these you have:

    NRV (Ceiling) = 240

    NRV-profit margin (Floor) = 208

    RPL Cost = 150

    Since your RPL cannot go below the floor, your market value assumes the floor value of 208.

    You then compare the market value with cost and take the lower of the two.

    *prays i explained that clearly*

    I've learned a lot on here tonight – thanks for the help you guys! I think i'm going to leave my abandoned office building now.

    Happy studies!

    PS – I agree with the comments that a study group is helpful, I've tried studying alone unsuccessfully before. But having other people to discuss and commiserate with is really an incentive. And I enjoy following the board, so its also motivation to get back to it. Seeing how often you all are on, makes me feel like, if they can find time I can find time too. Seeing as how, “finding the time” was always my excuse before…

    Are you talking about the cost recovery method?
