Answer:

$139,000

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged and they are first sorted before answering the question as follows:  

                                  Skis         Boots       Apparel          Supplies

Selling price            $160,000   $157,000   $119,000        $65,000

Cost                           139,000      140,000      77,350           42,250

Replacement cost     134,000      126,000      97,350           38,250

Sales commission           10%            10%            10%               10%

Explanation to the answer is now as follows:

Skis' cost = $139,000

Skis' net realizable value = $160,000 - ($160,000 * 10%) = $144,000

Since the cost of Skis of $139,000 is lower than its $144,000 net realizable value, Skis would be valued at $139,000.
