what inventory cost method have you selected

cost

lower of cost or market

lifo too complex for this forum  but based on the example you provided since nothing was sold the answer could be the same. see a pro 

some other method (?)

 

let's say using cost method

1/1/ 22 inventory apparent zero

purchases $5 (or + $40 for second 

not sold by year-end ending inventory $5 ($45 for both)

 

same for lower of cost or market since market > cost

 

 

 

tax is added to the purchase cost but as a reseller they should be a way to avoid having to pay this tax and this may involve contacting the supplier to find out what documents you would need to supply
