    The GME should reveal or provide a $19,000 an adjustment positive to net income under the indirect method for the increase in accounts payable.

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    The Cost of goods sold = $440,000

    Less: Inventory balance decrease = $41000

    Thus,

    The cost of goods - Inventory balance decrease is given as:

    $440000-$41000 = $399000

    So,

    The Inventory purchases during the period = $399000 and the Less: Payment to inventory suppliers = $380000

    The increase in accounts payable is calculated as follows:

    The inventory purchases during the period - payment to inventory suppliers

    =$399000 - $380000 = $19,000

    Hence,

    The Increase in accounts payable (Current Liabilities) is reported as a positive adjustment to net income under the indirect method

    This provide a $19,000 adjustment positive to net income under the indirect method for the increase in accounts payable.
