Answer and Explanation:
a. The preparation of the correct income statement is as follows:
<u>Year 2019 2020
</u>
Sales revenue $220,000 $250,000
Cost of goods sold
Beginning inventory $32,000 $38,000
Add: Costs of goods
purchased $173,000 $202,000
Cost of goods available for sale $205,000 $240,000
Less: Ending inventory -$38,000 -$52,000
($44,000 - $6,000
)
Cost of goods sold $167,000 $188,000
Gross profit $53,000 $62,000
b. The cumulative effect is
Incorrect gross profit = $59,000 + $56,000 = $115,000
Correct gross profit = $53,000 + $62,000 = $115,000
Net effect would be zero
