Answer:

a. net income= understated, retained earnings= understated

Explanation:

In accounting and auditing it is established that ending inventory and net income moves in the same direction when it comes to being overstated or understated. That implies that if <u>ending inventory is understated</u>,  then cost of goods sold will be overstated by the same amount, and when costs are overstated it finally leads to <u>net income and gross profit being understated.</u>

Furthermore, since it is the net income that will be added to retained earnings thereafter, it implies that the lesser the net income the lesser will be retained earnings. Hence, understatement of ending inventory is understatement of net income and also retained earnings.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                            Units    Unit Cost    Total Cost

April 1 inventory    250         $14            $ 3,500

April 15 purchase  420           17                 7,140

April 23 purchase 330           18                5,940

Weighted-average costs   $16.58

Sales                     550

Cost of goods sold = 550 * $16.58 = $9,119

Ending inventory = 450 * $16.58 = $7,461

b) The first computation is for the total cost of goods available, which is then divided by the total units available for sale.  This gives the weighted-average cost per unit.  This unit cost is then multiplied with the units of ending inventory and sales to obtain the cost of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold, respectively.
