Concord Enterprises Ltd. reported cost of goods sold for 2017 of
$2.3 million and retained earnings of $4.2 million at December 31,
2017. Concord later discovered that its ending inventories at
December 31, 2016 and 2017 were overstated by $150,000 and $49,000,
respectively.
Determine the correct amounts for 2017 cost of goods sold and
December 31, 2017 retained earnings.
Corrected cost of goods sold | $ | ||
Corrected 12/31/17 retained earnings | $ |
Cost of goods sold reported for 2017 = $2.3 million
Retained earnings reported for 2017 = $4.2 million
Overstated ending inventory at December 31, 2016 = $150,000
Overstated ending inventory at December 31, 2017 = $49,000
Corrected cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold reported for 2017 - Overstated ending inventory at December 31, 2016 + Overstated ending inventory at December 31, 2017
= 2,300,000 - 150,000 + 49,000
= $2,199,000
Corrected 12/31/17 retained earnings = Retained earnings reported for 2017 - Overstated ending inventory at December 31, 2017
= 4,200,000 - 49,000
= $4,151,000
