What adjustment, before taxes, should Garonne make retrospectively to the balance reported for retained earnings at the beginning of Year 4? What amount should Garonne report as inventory in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, Year 4, presented for comparative purposes? By what amount should cost of sales be retrospectively adjusted for the year ended December 31, Year 5
