Cost of goods sold
Beginning inventory 32,000 44,000

Ending inventory 44,000 52,000
Cost of goods sold 161,000 194,000
Gross profit $59,000 $56,000

Smart uses a periodic inventory system. The inventories at January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020, are correct. However, the ending inventory at December 31, 2019, was overstated $6,000.

Required:
a. Prepare correct income statement data the 2 years.
b. What is the cumulative effect of the inventory error on total gross profit for the 2 years?

Answer and Explanation:

a. The preparation of the correct income statement is as follows:

Year                                   2019                      2020

Sales revenue                $220,000               $250,000

Cost of goods sold

Beginning inventory       $32,000                 $38,000

Add: Costs of goods

purchased                       $173,000               $202,000

Cost of goods available for sale $205,000     $240,000

Less: Ending inventory   -$38,000                    -$52,000

($44,000 - $6,000 )

Cost of goods sold           $167,000                  $188,000

Gross profit                       $53,000                   $62,000

b. The cumulative effect is

Incorrect gross profit = $59,000 + $56,000 = $115,000

Correct gross profit = $53,000 + $62,000 = $115,000

Net effect would be zero
