In 2018, the ending inventory was overstated by $182,000. The ending inventories for 2019 and 2020 were correctly computed. b.

Because of manufacturing innovations, the competitor’s line will be of comparable quality but priced 50% below Pharoah’s line. The competitor announced its new line on January 14, 2021. Pharoah indicates that the company will meet the lower prices that are high enough to cover variable manufacturing and selling expenses, but permit recovery of only a portion of fixed costs. 4.
