C) $130,000

Explanation:

Based on the lower of cost or market rule, the valued of the inventory would be

Replacement cost = $130,000

Selling price = $150,000 - $150,000 * 10% = $135,000

After considering the normal gross profit ratio, the value would be

= $135,000 - $150,000 * 20%

= $105,000

If we compare the cost and replacement value, then the less value would be considered i. e $130,000
