In February of 2018, Uncle Bill got his answer: "The ending inventory reported in 2016 was overstated by $21,150 for merchandise that we were holding on consignment on behalf of Kirk's Servistar. We still keep some of their appliances in stock, but the value of these items was not included in the 2017 inventory count because we don't own them." Required: a. Recast the 2016 and 2017 income statements to take into account the correction of the 2016 ending inventory error
