During the year-end audit, the following errors were discovered:

1. An $1,800 payment for repairs was erroneously charged to the Cost of Goods Sold account. Assume that the perpetual inventory system is used. 

2. Sales to customers for $3,400 at December 31, 2013, were not recorded in the books for 2013. Also, the $1,870 cost of goods sold was not recorded. The error was not discovered in the physical count because the goods had not been delivered to the customer. 

3. A mathematical error was made in determining ending inventory. Ending inventory was understated by $1,700. The Inventory account was written down in error to the Cost of Goods Sold account.
