Elan Pratice Question R.34 Understanding Cash Flow Stmt

something, suppliers

FRA Reading 34 Understanding Cash Flow Statement:
For Question 37 does anyone know why the answer does not incorporate COGS ($270 million) as part of cash paid to suppliers?
The answer only uses Purchases and deducts the Increase in Accounts Payable (ignoring COGS).
I may be overlooking something here but any input is much appreciated..Thanks

Purchases = COGS + Increase in Inventory
So if you have already been given Purchases, all you need to do is account for accounts payable and that should be it.

anish is right just think, I paid cash for all these purchases, except for what i put on credit, which is accounts payable.
If they didn’t give you purchases, and just gave you COGS & the increase in inventory, then just think: ok, what did I buy must have been everything I sold (COGS) plus this additional inventory that I have sitting around that I bought but didn’t sell yet.
Let me know if that doesn’t make sense
