Maryanne was looking to purchase a local business that sold coal jewelry to tourists along the interstate. The present business owner instructed his accountant, Jane Sane, CPA, to provide Maryanne with the company's financial statement and answer any questions she might have regarding the provided data. Sane mailed out the most recent set of financial statements, now three years old, to Maryanne. A few days later Sane received a phone call from Maryanne. Maryanne asked her how the ending inventory was calculated. Sane replied that inventory was calculated using a formula of her own design involving numbers provided by her late father. Explain how the qualitative characteristics of relevance and reliability have been violated in this situation.
