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

The understatement in closing inventory balance is
= $378,500 - $366,900
= $11,600.
