Under what circumstances is relative sales value an appropriate basis for determining the price assigned to inventory?
Relative sales value is an appropriate basis for pricing inventory when a group of varying units is purchased at a single lump-sum price (basket purchase). The purchase price must be allocated in some manner or on some basis among the various units. When the units vary in size, character, and attractiveness, the basis for allocation must reflect both quantitative and qualitative aspects. A suitable basis then is the relative sales value of the units that comprise the inventory.
