1 )Ans is B

In GAAP, inventory is recorded as cost or market value – whichever is less.

In IFRS, inventory should be recorded as cost or net realizable value – whichever is less.

2)Option B is Correct.

Gross Profit Percentage = Gross Profit / Net Sales * 100
Gross Profit = Sales – Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold = $3000000 * 65%
Cost of Goods Sold = $1950000

Gross Profit = $3000000 - $1950000
Gross Profit = $1050000

Gross Profit Percentage = 1,050000 / 3000000 * 100
Gross Profit Percentage = 35%

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
Average Inventory = (245,000 + 115,000) / 2
Average Inventory = $180000

Inventory Turnover = 1950000 / 180000
Inventory Turnover = 10.83 times

Conclusion:
Margaret Company has inferior Gross Profit percentage and superior Inventory Turnover.

3) option C is correct

if ending inventory is understated net income is understated and in year 2 beginning inventory is over stated so net income will be overstated. Net income will be understated by $8,000 in 2019 and overstated by $8,000 in 2020.

4) option d is correct

Ending inventory for the year ended December 31, 2019, is understated by $23,000. this error will affect net income for 2020 then Net income will be overstated by $23,000.

5)Option A is correct

If you understated beginning inventory, your cost of goods sold will be understated by the error amount. Then, since cost of goods sold is understated, your net income and gross profit are overstated. next year it will understate
