Note ----

Cost of Merchandise Sold = Cost of Goods Manufactured + Beginning Inventory – Ending Inventory

Since Ending Inventory is overstated by $7,530, we will get Cost of Merchandise Sold understated.

Gross Profit = Sales – Cost of Merchandise Sold

Since cost of merchandise sold is shown less that what would be, the Gross Profit will be higher by that amount $7,530.

The same effect Net Income

It means Cost of Merchandise will increase by $7,530 overstated.

d) Effect of error on the 20Y9 Balance Sheet

Correct option is 1) The Dec 31, 20Y9, balance sheet would be correct, since the 20Y8 inventory error reverse itself in 20Y9.
