The Jackson Company incorrectly omitted $100,000 of merchandise from its 20X1 ending inventory. In addition, a merchandise purchase of $40,000 was incorrectly recorded as a $4,000 debit to the purchases account. As a result of these errors, 20X1 before-tax income is:

Answer 1

$64,000
In error, $100,000 worth of goods were left out of The Jackson Company's 20X1 closing inventory. A $40,000 purchase of goods was also mistakenly recorded as a $4,000 debit to the purchasing account. These mistakes result in a $64,000 before-tax income for 20X1.

Due to the company leaving $100,000 out of the stock account, the cost of products sold will increase by $100,000 as well as Earn $100,000. A $4000 negative to the purchase account would result in a $36,000 profit reduction and a $4,000 drop in the cost of goods sold.

Total understate Tax income = $100,000 - $36,000
                                         = $64,000
