Explanation:
 1.
Net purchases ($110,000 – 4,000) = $106,000
Net sales ($180,000 – 5,000) = $175,000
Estimated gross profit of 40% = $70,000

2.
Gross profit as a % of cost ÷ (1 + Gross profit as a % of cost) = Gross profit as a % of sales.
100% ÷ 200% = 50%
   
Net purchases ($110,000 – 4,000) = $106,000
Net sales ($180,000 – 5,000) = $175,000
Estimated gross profit of 50% = $87,500

Explanation:
NRV = Selling price less disposal costs.

NRV − NP = NRV less normal profit margin.

Designated Market Value = [Middle value of (RC), (NRV) & (NRV − NP)]

Per Unit Inventory Value = [Lower of (Designated Market Value) and (Cost)]
