Part 5
The $2,100 error would cause the costs for Job 604 to be understated.
Since Job 604 is in process at the end of the period, work in process
inventory and total assets would both be understated on the balance sheet.
In addition the over- or underapplied overhead would change by $2,100.
That is, if overhead is underapplied by, say, $6,100, that amount would
decrease by $2,100, yielding $4,000 in underapplied overhead. Any under–
or overapplied overhead is charged directly to cost of goods sold, so
correcting the error would cause cost of goods sold to decrease and net
income to increase by $2,100—yielding a $2,100 increase in retained
earnings.
