Inventory Affect On Three Statements?

Hey Guys,

Lets say Inventory increases by $10,000. What is the effect on the 3 statements?

At first I almost said that INV would have no effect on the I/S but I am not sure.

But now I think it is: (tax rate 40%)

I/S: COGS goes down 10,000 and NI goes up 6,000

As far as the C/S: I know NI would go up 6,000 but is there anything else that occurs in this section before getting to the B/S?

Conversely, I have heard conflicting things on the effect of COGS on the statements. Clarification is much needed and helpful. Assuming 10,000 increase as well.
