    I would humbly suggest that you check with your accountant as to how
    to do the above. To restate the value of the cost of goods sold at a
    higher price likely violates what we in Canada call GAAP or
    Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. To do so would understate
    your revenue from sales, something that the tax (wo)man does not
    take hindly too.
