Only rarely does Mallard sell a Studebaker fender, and it is highly unlikely that more than 100 of the remaining fenders will ever be sold. However, Mallard has ample storage space and feels an obligation to Studebaker owners. Therefore, the company will NOT salvage the fenders and will continue to sell them for $400 each. Scrap value of the fenders is $5 each. Under the lower of cost or market inventory method: Mallard can expense the 900 excess fenders. Mallard can expense all 1,000 of the fenders because of the unlikelihood that they will be sold. the fenders should be valued at $7,500 [(100 x $30) + (900 x $5)]. the fenders should be valued at $5,000 (1,000 x $5) None of the above
