| 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 ! |
