Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the following data can be done as follows:

Total Cost = Quantity × Unit Cost

Total NRV = Net Realizable Value × Quantity

So, by putting the value in the formula, we get,

Item       Quantity     Total Cost        Total NRV    Lower of cost or NRV

A             59   $1,416.00         $1,239.00         $1,239.00

B             89   $3,471.00         $4,361.00         $3,471.00

C             19   $1,083.00        $1,159.00         $1,083.00

D             79   $2,686.00        $3,081.00         $2,686.00

E             359   $6,821.00         $5,026.00              $5,026.00

Total                   $15,477.00        $14,866.00         $13,505.00
