    So, the Becker question is asking about the amortization of the difference between the fair value of the inventory and the cost of the inventory when you purchased the original investment. The reason you amortize inventory fair value is because you eventually sell that inventory. So, you increase the COGS to match the fair value of the inventory on the purchase.
