Answer:

Two adjustments must be made to year 1's financial statements:

  1. The income statement must be adjusted since net income increased because cost of goods sold decreased.
  2. The balance sheet must be adjusted since retained earnings will increase because net income increased.

Explanation:

The retrospective approach hides any changes with the accounting methods, and shows the financial statements as if the new accounting method was used all along and there was no error or change.
