When the 10 items went into stock the cost was $125 and $12.50 each Two items came out at $12.50 each, leaving a Book Value of $100 for the remaining 8 items Cost was adjusted (cost went up from $125 to $150), adding $25 to the Book Value, but with only 8 items left across which to spread the extra $25, sort of like adding $3.125 (1/8 of $25) to each of the 8 items left in stock, instead of $2.50 (1/10 of $25) to each of 10 items. Since the system cannot add cost to a prior transaction (the issuing of the two items at $12.50), the extra cost can only be applied to the remaining items and the value of inventory. The books balance even though the costs of individual items seems odd.
