E614 A company like Golf USA that sells golf-related inventory typically will have inventory items such as golf clothing and golf equipment. As technology advances the design and performance of the next generation of drivers, the older models become less marketable and therefore decline in value. Suppose that in the current year, Ping (a manufacturer of golf clubs) introduces the MegaDriver II, the new and improved version of the MegaDriver. Below are amounts related to Golf USAs inventory at the end of the year.

Required:

1. Calculate ending inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value.

2. Record any necessary adjustment to inventory.

3. Explain the impact of the adjustment in the financial statements.
