Answer:

Per unit Cost = $200

Replacement cost = 170

Disposal costs = 10

Normal profit margin = 30

solution

we get here Lower of cost or market  method that is express as

Lower of Per unit Cost or Replacement cost or  Selling price - (profit margin -Disposal costs  ) ......................1

take value here

Lower of $200 or $170 or  ( $190 - ( $30 - $10 ) )

so here  Lower of $200 or $170 or $170

so lower is $170

so correct option is C. $170
