We are using the same company as in the second module. However, you need to consider some additional information.
• One client had indicated that they were interested in purchasing $42,500 worth of products, so the bookkeeper recorded the transaction. However, the client has not actually committed to the purchase.

The amount of ending inventory was determined using a physical count.
