Late in the year, Software City began carrying WordCrafter, a new word processing software program. At December 31, Software City’s perpetual inventory records included the following cost layers in its inventory of WordCrafter programs: |
| Purchase Date | Quantity | Unit Cost | Total Cost | ||
| Nov. 14 | 8 | $ | 400 | $ | 3,200 |
| Dec. 12 | 20 | 310 | 6,200 | ||

| Total available for sale at Dec. 31 | 28 | $ | 9,400 | ||

At December 31, Software City takes a physical inventory and finds that all 28 units of Word Crafter are on hand. However, the current replacement cost (wholesale price) of this product is only $250 per unit. |
