This way, she can avoid a significant write-down in inventory on the current year’s financial statements. 1. Is the accountant correct in her treatment of the inventory? Why or why not? 2. If the computers cost $1,000 each and their market value is 40% of their cost, journalize the entry necessary for the write-down. 3.
