Income Statements We are using the same company as in the first module. However, you need to consider some additional information.
• One client had indicated that they were interested in purchasing $34,500 worth of products, so the bookkeeper recorded the transaction. However, the client has not actually committed to the purchase.
• The bookkeeper may have made a mistake when computing cost of good sold. She included total production costs for 2011 and did not adjust ending inventory for the $34,500 worth of units left at the end of the year. The amount of ending inventory was determined using a physical count.
