A seller 're-orders' $5.0M of inventory just before closing using a rush delivery that won't arrive until after the buyer takes over.

If the invoice is included in 'Accounts Payable' at close, what is the net effect on the true-up?

  1. The $5.0M is treated as a 'Prepaid Expense'
  2. There is no effect because the asset and liability offset each other
  3. NWC is lower because liabilities rose without an offsetting asset, reducing the purchase price
  4. The purchase price increases because the buyer will get the inventory later
