I'm going quickly, as I have much to do, but my initial reaction is one of baffled...

Is this a perpetual or periodic inventory system? Using a "purchase" account suggests periodic system, but I'd like confirmation

What date is that inventory G/L balance as of?

I'm guessing they want you to do something like an inventory rollforward, but I'd say you need more information.
