Explanation:
The insurance premium paid for a 3 year period should not have been expensed out rightly but recognized as expense through periodic amortization spread over the entire period.
As such, the amount that should have been expensed in 2011 for insurance premium is
= 1/3 × $30,000
= $10,000
Recognizing an expense of $10,000 rather than $30,000 would have resulted in an increase in the tax expense by
= 70% × ($30,000 - $10,000)
= $14,000
As such, the retained earnings would have been
= $200,000 + $14,000
= $214,000
The overstatement of an expense would have resulted in an understatement of net income and thus and understatement of the retained earnings.

The cost assigned to Ending Inventory under periodic inventory system and based on the weighted average method is:
= $465
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Costs
Beginning inventory on January 1 320 $ 3.00 $960 (320 * $3.00)
Purchase on January 9 80 3.20 256 (80 * $3.20)
Purchase on January 25 100 3.34 334 (100 * $3.34)
Total 500 $3.10 $1,550 ($1,550/500)
Units sold -350 $3.10 -$1,085 (350 * $3.10)
Ending inventory 150 $3.10 $465 (130 * $3.10)
