Inventory as of 12.31.2018           461000

Inventory not received in 2018    -25500

Purchase not recorded yet         91000(46100-25500)

correct Total inventory as of 12.31.2018 ---->526500

               

               

correct inventory as of 12.31.2018            526500

reported inventory         461000

cost reported less            65500 (526500-461000)

               

since the cost was reported less this has inflated the net profits and reduced the COGS and increased the retained earnings

               

Inventory            65500
