Exercise 6-12 Analysis of inventory errors LO A2
Vibrant Company had $1,100,000 of sales in each of Year 1, Year
2, and Year 3, and it purchased merchandise costing $600,000 in
each of those years. It also maintained a $400,000 physical
inventory from the beginning to the end of that three-year period.
