问题如下：
Q. Purple Fleur S.A., a retailer of floral products, reported cost of goods sold for the year of USD75 million. Total assets increased by USD55 million, but inventory declined by USD6 million. Total liabilities increased by USD45 million, and accounts payable increased by USD2 million. The cash paid by the company to its suppliers is most likely closest to:
选项：
A.USD67 million.
B.USD79 million.
C.USD83 million.
解释：
A is correct. Cost of goods sold of USD75 million less the decrease in inventory of USD6 million equals purchases from suppliers of USD69 million. The increase in accounts payable of USD2 million means that the company paid USD67 million in cash (USD69 million minus USD2 million).
这里说存货减少了6million。是不是意味着存货减少了，即供货商暂放在公司的库存减少了6million。如果减少，那就要给回供货商，因为只是暂存在仓库里，还没给供货商钱先。只有发生存货减少，才给供货商钱。
