Balance Sheet errors effect the presentation of assets, liabilities, and equity where the Income Statement errors effect the classification of revenues and expenses (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield 2008, p 1174). The physical count of inventory shows the asset was overstated by $10,000. The omission of the sales transaction and the check showed the cash to be understated by $5,000 and the retained earnings to be overstated by $5,000. On the Income Statement, the Cost of Goods sold was understated by $410,000, Revenue was understated by $5,000, and Net Income was overstated by $5,000.

In determining profitability, the gross profit rate measures sales over cost of goods sold where profit margin ratio measures sales over all expenses (Kimmel, Weygandt, Kieso, 2007, p 235). The gross profit rate is 66% (412,610/624,400) where the profit margin ratio is 13.5% (84,100/624,400). The company does show profitability, but to determine the actual profitability, one would need to compare with industry average and competitors (Kimmel 2007).
