Document Summary

Quantity or costs assigned to inventory are incorrect. Errors made when recording goods in transit at the end of accounting period. Statement of financial position through merchandise inventory. Income statement through cost of goods sold. The statement of financial position is still balanced. The over/under statement error in the inventory account equals the over/under statement error in the retained earnings account. This ignores the effect on income tax caused by the inventory error. If this error goes unnoticed, and no other errors are made, then by the end of the second year the accounts will both be correct since the over/under statements in each year are equal. Errors made when recording goods in transit at period end. Wrong recordings of goods in transit will misstate the inventory and accounts. An error in ending inventory of the current period will have a reverse effect on net income in the next accounting period.
