How to approach this question
Subtract the NRV from the original cost of the damaged tractors.
Full Answer
Cost of damaged tractors = $50,000. NRV = $25,000. The inventory must be written down by the difference: $50,000 - $25,000 = $25,000.
Common mistakes
Using the full cost ($50,000) or the NRV ($25,000) as the write-down amount, rather than the difference.
