Yes and no... I've missed a lot of class this quarter and its been pretty hard to keep up. I've been to at least 2 make up saturday lectures, I've missed 3 or so lectures I couldn't make up at all, I'm severely behind in accounting and marginally behind in all my other courses. Its tough, but now I'm going to focus on catching back up. I won't be getting a ton of amazing grades this quarter, but I'll manage.

7. The firm initially recorded an inventory charge of $2,322 million. What reason could exist for this charge? (Which treatment requires you to write-down unsold inventory?)

I have no idea. I'm gonna go with a decrease in market value?

I don't know.

Is that what you mean by "treatment" ? How would you recognize such a charge?
