Respuesta :

Answer:

$4,373

Explanation:

we will check lower of cost or market for individual items:

Minolta :

= Market value per unit × No. of units

= 158 × 5

= $790

Canon :

= Cost per unit × No. of units

= 145 x 7

= $1,015

Vivitar:

=  Market value per unit × No. of units

= 114 x 12

= $1,368

Kodak:

= Cost per unit × No. of units

= 120 x 10

= $1,200

Total amount should be reported on Brik Camera Shop's financial statements:

= $790  + $1,015  + $1,368  + $1,200

= $4,373
