Depreciation included in COGS。

问题如下：

Green Glory Corp., a garden supply wholesaler, reported cost of goods sold for the year of $80 million. Total assets increased by $55 million, including an increase of $5 million in inventory. Total liabilities increased by $45 million, including an increase of $2 million in accounts payable. The cash paid by the company to its suppliers is most likely closest to:

选项：

A.

$73 million.

B.

$77 million.

C.

$83 million.

解释：

C is correct.

Cost of goods sold of $80 million plus the increase in inventory of $5 million equals purchases from suppliers of $85 million. The increase in accounts payable of $2 million means that the company paid $83 million in cash ($85 million minus $2 million) to its suppliers.

解析：考点是直接法下cash paid to suppliers的计算。由于是现金流的流出所以我们都在前面加一个负号，- Cash paid to suppliers= - COGS –Δinv + ΔA/P + Depreciation included in COGS，本题没有Depreciation included in COGS，所以- Cash paid to suppliers= - COGS –Δinv + ΔA/P=－80－5 + 2 =－83，负号代表是流出，所以付给供应商的钱是83块。
