2. Sales to customers for $1,800 at December 31, 2016, were not recorded in the books for 2016. Also, the $980 cost of goods sold was not recorded.

3. A mathematical error was made in determining ending inventory. Ending inventory was understated by $2,150. (The Inventory account was mistakenly written down to the Cost of Goods Sold account.)
