Fulkerson uses a periodic inventory system and believes there are 25 units of ending inventory.
However, Fulkerson neglects to make a final inventory count at the end of the year. An employee
accidentally threw out 4 units of inventory, leaving only 21 units. Fulkerson is not aware of the lost
inventory.
Required:
1. What amount will Fulkerson calculate for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO,
assuming it erroneously believes 25 units remain in ending inventory?
2. What amount would Fulkerson calculate for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO
if it correctly knows that only 21 units remain in ending inventory?
3. What effect will the inventory error have on reported amounts for (a) ending inventory, (b)
retained earnings, (c) cost of goods sold, and (d) net income (ignoring tax effects) in 2021?
4. Assuming that ending inventory is correctly counted at the end of 2022, what effect will the
inventory error in 2021 have on reported amounts for (a) ending inventory, (b) retained earnings,
(c) cost of goods sold, and (d) net income (ignoring tax effects) in 2022?

focus?
