Toussaint Company issued 10,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for merchandise that it will resell. The merchandise had originally cost the other party $250,000 and had a fair value of $300,000 on the date of the exchange. The retail value of the inventory is $520,000. Toussaint Company is not publicly traded and cannot precisely determine the fair value of its stock. It has used some industry averages, however, and applied Black-Scholes-Merton and estimates the fair value of its stock to be about $28 per share. At what amount should the inventory be recorded?
