| cp24 | How could we deduce that the COGS would be overstated without knowing the co's inventory valuation method? Pls. help. Thanks. |
| nike | the inventory method does not matter here: BI + Purchases - COGS = EI. |
| johntan1979 | It's either you assign cost to COGS or Inventory. If Inventory is understated, the opposite is true for COGS, regardless of the inventory method. |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
