Question

Question B is what I'm struggling with. I'm trying to take the 676 and divide it by 272 then round it.

**a.** Assume the adjusting entry for $676 million of accrued expenses was not recorded at the end of the year. By how much would income before taxes have been misstated?

**Answer:**
$676 million

**b.** What is the percentage of the misstatement in (a) to the reported income of $272 million? **Round to one decimal place.**

**Answer:**
2.5%
