I was analysing the corporations in my country, and I noticed the Robotics were underperforming. Upon inspection, I closed in on the Raw Materials Used item.
Let us use this corp as an example: https://sim01.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwCountry&SN_METHOD=ccorp&miCorpNumber=2973202
The Last Price Paid column tells you exactly what you spent on supplies, taking quality and trading strategy into account. Therefore, using that with the monthly use of each product tells you how much you are spending on supplies/inputs each month. That figure comes to about 3.5B/month.
Yet, looking on financial statement on that corp:
I see that corp is spending 3.9B/month. Where are the extra 0.4B from month coming from? It tallies up quickly.
I don't see a difference these large for other corps I looked at.
