Answer:

COGS overstated for 5,000

Explanation:

<em>The COGS will be overstated  for the same ammount,</em> that is because of the inventory identity.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory + COGS

If ending Inventory has a problem, it will be transferred to COGS as well to equalize the formula

If ending Inventory is understated it means their alue is less than it's real value,

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase \neq Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS

so to balance the formula COGS need to be overstated.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS(Real COGS + EI error)
