Increase liabilities (Accounts payable) by $337.8 million B. Decrease cash by $337.8 million C. Increase expenses (Cost of goods sold) by $337.8 million D. Decrease noncash assets (Inventory) by $337.8 million E. Both A and D

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Increase liabilities (Accounts payable) by $337.8 million

Explanation:

The journal​ entry will be: Inventory (Credit - Increased) 337,860,000 and Accounts payable (Debit - Increased) 337,860,000.

The company must recognize the increase in the Inventory and the medium of payment (Accounts payable).

B is false because this operationn can also be a decrease in cash, but the amount in the operation is too high for this payment medium.

C is false because, the inventory is not sold, and COSG will be increased when the goods are sold.

D is also false because the inventory is increasing, not decreasing.
