Answer:

Under the lower-of-cost-or- net realizable value basis of accounting for inventories, the value that Taylor should report for the TVs on the balance sheet is $350 × 5 = $1,750

Explanation:

The lower-of-cost-or- net realizable value basis of accounting for inventories values inventory at the lower of its cost or net realizable value. This basis of accounting gives a faithful representation to the users of the value of assets in inventory that firm holds. This is  also prudent in that profits are not overstated in the Income statement.
