Answer:

C. Net income overstated by $14,200

Explanation:

Effect of errors on 2017 net income = Overstated ending inventory + Understated insurance expense - Understated income on sale of machinery

Effect of errors on 2017 net income = $15,000 + $10,000 - $10,800

Effect of errors on 2017 net income = $14,200 Overstated.

So, the total effect of the errors on 2017 net income is overstated by $14,200
