On July 1, the Company announced that it had determined that the inventory . . . had been overstated. . . . The overstatement of inventory . . . was $8,766,000.
Montgomery Greeting Cards reported an incorrect net income amount of $25,922,000 for the year in which the error occurred and the income tax rate was 35.50 percent.
Overstatement of inventory = 8766000
Incorrect net income = 25922000
Overstatement of inventory will increase gross profit of the company.
Corrected net income = Incorrect net income - Overstatement of inventory
= 25922000 - 8766000 = 17156000
Correct income tax = 17156000*35.5% = 6090380
Income tax charged earlier on incorrect profit = 25922000*35.5% = 9202310
Income tax to be reversed because of overstatement of inventory = 8766000*0.355 or 9202310 - 6090380 = 3111930
