phoenix study formula again carefully.Stock was at 57 now 35 now rumblings inventory will do them in.

It's all been done before.

It ain't hard.

SALES 6,519

COST OF SALES CALCULATION:

BEGINNING INVENTORY 1,232 JULY 29,2000
PURCHASES 3,102
=COST OF GOODS AVAILABLE 4,334
LESS:ENDING INVENTORY 1,956 OCT 28,2000

COST OF GOODS SOLD 2,378
GROSS PROFIT 63.5% 4,141 REPORTED BY CISCO

Now if inventory grows 15% instead of 58% this is what gross profit looks like:

Sales 6,519

Beginning inventory 1,232
+purchases 3,102
=cost of goods available 4,334
-Ending inventory 1,416 PLAY WITH THIS NUMBER

=cost of goods sold 2,918

Gross profit 55.2% 3,601 REPORTED BY THE DISCIPLE

VOILA MAGIC !!

Just change the ending inventory higher and your profits are whatever you want them to do.
