Question

Indicate the effects of the misstatement on Almond Supplies Company’s balance sheet and income statement for the year ended December 31.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The effect of undervaluation of Inventory is shown below:-

Inventory Understated = Inventory counted + Correct value of inventory

= $545,000 - $554,000

= $9,000

Now, the effect of undervaluation of Inventory is

Cost of goods overstated by $9,000

Net income understated by $9,000

Retained earning understated by $9,000

Assets (Current assets - Inventory) understated by $9,000
