DJFats Company determined that the 2019 ending inventory had been overstated by $11,200 AND that the 2019 beginning inventory was overstated by $6,600. Before the effect of these errors, 2019 pretax income had been computed as $108,000. What should be reported as the correct 2019 pretax income before taxes? 5 points: a. 103,400 b. 125,800 c. 114,600 d. 90,200 e. None of the above, the correct answer is:

a. $103,400

Explanation:

As we know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

And,  

Gross profit = Sales revenue - cost of goods sold

Since in the question it is given that

The ending inventory and beginning inventory had been overstated by $11,200 and $6,600 respectively

Since overstatement in the initial inventory raises the cost of the goods sold and decreases by that amount the gross profit & net income

And, overstatement in ending inventory reduced cost of goods sold and raised gross profit & net income by that amount.

So for overstated ending inventory the amount should be deducted and for overstated beginning inventory the condition would be reverse

So, the correct amount is

= incorrect pretax net income + overstatement in beginning inventory - overstatement in ending inventory

= $108,000 + $6,600 - $11,200

= $103,400

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
