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.

Answer:
b. 9.75%
Explanation:
When a partner invests in a business, he/she expects to get return on his equity in the business. The major reason for this is to compare his/her return in the partnership business with the return he/she could get elsewhere.
The return on partner equity is calculated by dividing his/her net income from the partnership business by his/her average capital for the period.
The formula is given below:
<u> Net income </u> x 100
Average capital
Average capital = <u>Opening capital balance + Closing capital balance</u>
2
For Carter Pearson, the average capital is =<u> $55,500 + $62,500</u>
2
= $59,000
The return on equity will be: <u>$5,750 </u> x 100
$59,000
= 9.7457
= 9.75% - approximate to two decimal point.
