Answer:
Balance sheet
Inventory - Understatement by $11,600
Owners equity - Understatement by $11,600
Income statement
Cost of goods sold - Overstatement by $11,600
Net income - Understatement by $11,600
Explanation:
The movement in an inventory account which is the difference between the opening and ending balances is a function of the purchases and the sales during the period.
This is captured in the equation below
Opening balance + purchases - cost of goods sold = ending balance
Hence an understatement of the ending balance would result in an overstatement of the cost of goods sold thus an understatement of the net income (and owner's equity).
The understatement in closing inventory balance is
= $378,500 - $366,900
= $11,600.
