Answer:

$2,880

Step-by-step explanation:

US GAAP requires companies to value their inventories at lower of cost or net realizable value.

so we calculate both:

  • the cost = 8 x $530 = $4,240
  • the net realizable value = 8 x $360 = $2,880

Since the net realizable value is lower, then the computers must be recorded at that price.
