Expert Solution

(a)	Calculation of total net effect of the errors on the amount of Langley's working capital

	Ending inventory (overstated)	$35,000
	Insurance premium prepaid at 31st Dec, 2018 (290,000 x 2/3) (overstated)	$193,333
	Net effect (Overstated)	$228,333


	Note:
1	Inventory is not a running account and hence no effect of understated ending
	inventory on 31/12/2017.
2	Depreciation has no effect on working capital
3	At the end of year 2018, prepaid insurance premium was only for 2019 and
	therefore prepaid amount is $96,667.

(b)	Calculation of total net effect of the errors on the amount of Langley's working capital

	Depreciation (overstated)	$10,000
