Concept explainers
Berry Corporation miscounted the ending inventory at December 31, 2010. The balance sheet reported inventory of $360,000, but $25,000 worth of items were omitted from that amount. Berry reported net income of $742,640 for the year. What effect did this inventory error have on Berry’s cost of goods sold for the year? What is the correct net income for the year ended December 31, 2010?
Identify the impact of the given inventory errors on the cost of goods sold and compute the correct net income.
Explanation of Solution
The cost of goods sold would be overstated as the ending inventory is understated. The amount worth $25,000 was omitted while calculating the cost of goods sold, hence the net income would have been understated by $25,000. Therefore, the correct net income for the year end would be $767,640.
