    Cost of Goods Sold $200

    Merchandise Inventory $200

    Explanation:

    Inventory is value at Lower of Cost and Net realizable value.

    Cost of Inventory = $8,000

    Net Realizable Value of Inventory = $7,800

    The lower value is the Net realizable value and Inventory should be reported by $7,800 on the balance sheet. The net difference of $200 is adjusted to bring the value of inventory to it net realizable value.

    Expense to be recorded = $8,000 - $7,800 = $200
