May I know why the year 1 effects of the inventory on balance sheet is overstate?
It sounds that since the price is higher, then the ending inventory should be less than the correct.
What's more, I am also confused for the other parts.
Okay so let me take few more numbers to explain | ||
Year 1 | ||
I am assuming | ||
Let sales be | $ 100,000 | |
Opening Inventory | $ 500,000 | |
Purchases | $ 100,000 | |
Closing inventory | $ 580,000 | |
(this is given in first line of question) | ||
Inventory Balance which should have been | $ 530,000 | |
(580000-530000) | ||
Now we make a few calculations | ||
Wrong | Correct | |
Inventory Balance | $ 580,000 | $ 530,000 |
(This is clearly overstated because the actual balnce in balance sheet | ||
should have been 530)000 but we have shown 580000 | ||
Cost of goods sold | Wrong | Correct |
Opening Inventory | $ 500,000 | $ 500,000 |
Add:Purchases | $ 100,000 | $ 100,000 |
Less:Closing inventory balance | $ (580,000) | $ (530,000) |
Cost of goods sold | $ 20,000 | $ 70,000 |
(As you can see if take 580000 as our inventory balance my cost of goods | ||
sold is understated) | ||
Net Income | Wrong | Correct |
Sales | $ 100,000 | $ 100,000 |
Less:Cost of goods sold | $ (20,000) | $ (70,000) |
Net Income | $ 80,000 | $ 30,000 |
(Again you can see that if we take 580000 as our inventory | ||
balance net income is overstated and hence the retained earnings is overstated) | ||
This whole process is done for year 1 | ||
now for year 2 because your corrected opening inventory balance will be 530000 | ||
your cost of goods sold will be higher than year 1 (overstated) | ||
and hence net income will be less (understated) | ||
For any more information or clarification please comment |
