RE: Percentage of Completion Error Analysis
If the units in ending inventory are 60% complete instead of 30% with
respect to conversion, the number of equivalent units in ending inventory
Regarding financial statements, this error causes an overstatement of cost
of goods sold and an understatement of net income on the income
statement for November. On the November 30 balance sheet, the Work in
Process inventory and retained earnings are understated; therefore total
assets and equity are also understated.
