consolidated statement - current assets

Hi, Yes, it is the adjustment for the PURP from part (ii). We would normally reduce the inventory line but because we are only given the current assets figure then we reduce that instead. If you are curious where the PURP comes from then it is applying the 40% mark-up to the good remaining at the reporting date, which are $2.8 million ($8m - $5.2m). Hope that clears it up. Thanks
