Unfortunately, we are all too busy to do the necessary work to make the determination. That is why we need your help. To help determine the appropriate costing method, I have laid out six separate scenarios. I will need you to consider each scenario independently, and then determine the appropriate measure of the inventory in our year-end financial statements. Unless stated otherwise, Abi prepares its financial statements under U.S. GAAP Let me know if you have any problems.
