Explanation:
Statement of owner's equity as the name suggests is the statement which describes the changes in owner's equity, as it is obvious that the change cannot occur at a point of time, it will occur over a period of time.

There is no statement prepared to show any change in owner's equity at a point.

Answer:
Dr Retained earnings $14,000
Cr Inventory $14,000
Explanation:
There is a need to make adjustment to the inventory . Therefore,
Adjusted inventory
= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000
= $14,000 decrease
It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.
Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.
Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.
