Question:

Why isn't the Income Statement affected by changes in Inventory?

Answer hidden.

Answer:

Working capital changes do not appear on the Income Statement.

For Inventory, the expense is only recorded when the goods are sold. It doesn't count as Cost of Goods Sold or Operating Expense if it is sitting in a warehouse - only when the company sells it.
