Statement #1: Cute Camel's net collection of inventory items increased by more than the firm sold between Years 1 and 2. This statement is , because: The accruals balance decreased by $117 million between Years 1 and 2 Total inventories of raw materials, work-in-process, and final goods increased from $1,980 million to $2,475 million between Year 1 and Year 2 Total inventories of raw materials, work-in-process, and final goods decreased by $495 million between Year 1 and Year 2 Statement #2: Over the past two years, Cute Camel Woodcraft Company has relied more on the use of short-term debt than on long-term debt financing.
