Answer:

option (d) $58

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Acquisition cost of product Z = $64

Net realizable value for product Z = $58

Normal profit for product Z = $5

Market value (replacement cost) for product Z = $60

Now,

Floor Net realizable value = Net realizable value - Normal profit

= $58 - $5

= $53

Proper per unit inventory price for product Z

= lower of [ cost , net reliable value ]

= lower of [ $64 , $58 ]

= $58

Hence,

The answer is option (d) $58
