How much does each damaged unit of inventory at Lamp now worth after the incident?

  1. £10

  2. £15

  3. £12.50

  4. £13.50

The correct answer is: £10

To determine the value of each damaged unit of inventory, it's essential to consider the inventory valuation methods and the context of how damaged goods are assessed. If the damaged inventory is to be valued at its net realizable value, which takes into account the potential selling price minus any costs associated with selling the item, this would establish its worth. In this scenario, if the damage resulted in a significant reduction in the perceived value of each unit, perhaps due to a decrease in demand or additional costs incurred to repair or sell the damaged goods, the calculated value could indeed reflect a figure like £10. This value would suggest that after considering all factors related to the damage, including potential markdowns or loss of demand, each unit has been assessed to maintain a value of £10. Understanding specific calculations or the related costs that led to this assessment could further clarify how that number was derived. In any case, if £10 reflects the adjusted value appropriately accounting for all market conditions and costs, that would be the correct determination for the worth of each damaged unit of inventory.
