Answer:

Adjustment entry:

Cost of goods Sold A/c Dr. $85

To Inventory $85

Step-by-step explanation:

As for the provided information, using specific identity method, both goods are considered different and evaluated separately:

Goods A

Cost = $660, Net realizable value = $670

Therefore, it will be valued at cost of $595, thus, no adjustment required.

Goods B

Cost = $595, Net Realizable Value = $510

Thus, it will be valued at net realizable value.

The difference that is $595 - $510 = $85 will be written off from inventory and will be charged to cost of goods sold.

Entry will be:

Cost of goods Sold A/c Dr. $85

To Inventory $85

This will reduce the balance of inventory by $85, and will follow lower of cost or Net Realizable Value method.
