On April 1, a company purchased two units of inventory, A and B. The cost of unit A was $640, and the cost of unit B was $550. On April 30, the company had not sold the inventory. The net realizable value of unit A was now $660 while the net realizable value of unit B was $480. The adjustment associated with the lower of cost and net realizable value on April 30 will be:

M. cotteleer electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. one of the components has an annual demand of 235 units, and this is constant throughout the year. carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering (setup) cost is $21 per order. a) to minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? b) how many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy? c) what is the average inventory if costs are minimized? d) suppose that the ordering cost is not $21, and cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. for this order policy (of q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
