A firm following IFRS reports its inventory with the carrying value of $450,000. If the net realizable value of inventory is $500,000, then the amount of the gain/loss on write-down of inventory is closest to: A. $0. B. a $50,000 loss. C. a $50,000 gain

The correct answer is A.Under IFRS, the value of inventory is written down if the carrying value of inventory is greater than the net realizable value (NRV) (or the selling price minus the selling cost). Since the carrying value of inventory is less than the NRV, the inventory will not be written down and no loss will be recognized.
