FRAME SUPPLIES
Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31, Year 1
Sales $ 73,900
Cost of goods sold (36,320 )
Gross margin 37,580
Operating expenses (8,775 )
Net income $ 28,805

During the year-end audit, the following errors were discovered:

  1. An $1,230 payment for repairs was erroneously charged to the Cost of Goods Sold account. (Assume that the perpetual inventory system is used.)
  2. Sales to customers for $2,021 at December 31, Year 1, were not recorded in the books for Year 1. Also, the $1,264 cost of goods sold was not recorded.
  3. A mathematical error was made in determining ending inventory. Ending inventory was understated by $1,376. (The Inventory account was mistakenly written down to the Cost of Goods Sold account.)
