By understating last year's ending inventory,the company would have started the current year with an understated inventory balance.As a result,total assets would be understated by the same $750,000.The error would also cause cost of goods sold and gross margin on the statement of earnings to be understated and overstated,respectively.Earnings before income taxes would be overstated by $750,000.This year's overstatement of earnings before income taxes,retained earnings,and inventory would exactly offset the understatement of each item on the prior year's statements.
