sarath quick ratio = cash+marketable securities + Receivables / CL

No inventory component so no effect on the quick ratio ...
guna (OB+Purchases) - COGS = EI. If EI overstated, (OB+purchases) remains constant, only COGS should have been reduced to get an inflated EI.
In the Income Statement COGS is like an expense, understating an expense would overstate Income
johntan1979 :( I got this wrong because I confused profit margin with gross margin and thought net income should be NET profit margin, not just profit margin.
Inaganti6 Wow i got something right and Johntan1979 didn't. Maybe I do stand a chance in this exam !
