Chapter 6 – Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold
Problem 6-10A (LO 6-7. 6-9)
Requirement 1
Requirement 2
a These amounts represent amounts that would have been reported had the $11,000
inventory error not occurred. The understatement of inventory in 2019 has the effect
of understating gross profit in 2019 and overstating gross profit in 2020 by $11,000.
Using the corrected amounts, the trend in gross profit is much more stable over time,
which is to be expected for most companies.
Requirement 3
Corrected gross profit from 2018-2021 = $28,000 + $31,000 + $35,000 + $42,000
