    Answer:$405,000

    Explanation:

    The Inventory to be reported in the balance sheet is the Net realizable value of 5000 pounds.

    Net Realizable value = Selling price - disposal Cost

    = $420,000 - $15,000

    = $405,000

    The inventory of 5,000pounds should be recorded in the balance sheet as $405,000 since it is a controlled market price applicable for all quantities.
