Answer: $18

Explanation:

When using the Lower of Cost or Market (LCM) method. You value inventory at either the market value or cost value. Whichever is lower.

In the above scenario, the historical / acquisition cost of $18 < market value of $19.

Therefore we will value inventory at the historical cost of of $18.
