Inventory appears on a company's balance sheet as a current asset, representing the value of goods available for sale. Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is reported on the income statement and reflects the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold during a specific period. The relationship between these two is crucial, as COGS is derived from the beginning inventory, purchases made during the period, and ending inventory. This linkage helps determine the gross profit for a business.
