Solution

The cost of inventory should include the purchase price, fixed and variable production overhead, and import duties and other taxes. However, it should not include abnormal amounts of wasted materials. These are considered inefficiencies in the production process and should not be capitalized as part of the cost of the inventory. Instead, they should be recognized as an expense in the period in which they occur.
