问题如下:
The inventory of company M experienced a write-down in 2013, but the write-down was then reversed in 2014. Compared with the condition that the write-down never happened, which of the following is not true about company M's 2014 financial report? ?
选项:
A.Cash flow from operations was higher.
B.2014's ending inventory balance was unchanged.
C.Profit was overestimated.
解释:
A is correct. The write-down indicates that the value of inventory decreased and the cost of sales increased, the reversal of the write-down indicates that the cost of sales decreased, so in 2014 the profits were overestimated. Because the write-down and reversal of the write-down offset each other, 2014' s ending inventory balance remained unchanged. Although the write-down and reversal of inventory did not influence the cash flow from operations, overestimated profits in 2014 tended to produce higher taxes, which led to lower cash flow from operations.
