I have attached the example sum in kaplan book page no :19 under the topic expense recognition- on that example sum how the ending inventory is calculated why that balance 8 unit is related to purchase 4 and 2 relates to purchase 3

OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF AN AUDITOR: To Obtain Reasonable assurance
Auditing
answered on 25-Jul-25 08:01
Good evening mam, till now i have understood that, the auditor can provide Reasonale assurance, and not absolute assurance, this is because of the inherent limitations of the audit. Just out of curiosity i am asking this, 1) Whether are there any case in real world scenario where an auditor is required to break the inherent limitations and to provided absolute assurance on the financial statement. 2) Do C&AGs also does the same while auditing goverment receipts and payment? Because when it comes to State and central level of audit, it is expected that govermnt should 100% provide good for the public and thus its receipts and payments should be thorougly checked. Is the inherent limitations of audit are reasons why scams like money laundering and black money happen within govt organisations (not mentioning anything in particular).? [Video Time Stamp: 04:36]

LEASE FINANCING: Operating Lease Vs Finance Lease
Financial Management
answered on 23-Jul-25 06:20
Goodevening sir, Sir, am i correct to understand that the basic idealogy which separates lease term as operating and finance lease, is that when the assest is brought by the lessee for put to use in the business for normal operation until the useful life of such asset, it will be termed as Finance lease, becasue it is similar to financing an asset into the business. on the other hand, when the assest is brought into asset and used for some particular operation, thereafter which will be returned back to its original owner, it is termed as Operating Lease because such an assest is brought into only for perfoming particular business operation. all those 4 points of checking whether operating or financing lease, gives the above point in common.
