March 15 current year: Erin created a new inventory item named Birdbath April 20 current year: Erin bought 80 bags of mulch for $640.00 June 12 current year: Erin bought 75 bags of mulch for $618.75 June 15 current year: Erin sold 125 bags of mulch to Woody's Weeds When creating the item, a beginning quantity of 25 and a cost value of $23.82 per unit was mistakenly entered. What is the effect on the General Ledger when Erin saves the new birdbath item?

The effect on General Ledger with the creation of the new inventory item "Birdbath" on March 15, when beginning inventory of 25 units at a cost per unit of $23.82 recorded by Erin, is the overstatement of the Ending Inventory by $595.50.

Data and Calculations:

Date            Description                   Units         Unit Cost     Total Cost

March 15    Beginning Inventory   25 bags       $23.82       $595.50

April 20      Purchase                      80 bags         $8.00       $640.00

June 12      Purchase                      75 bags         $8.25        $618.75

June 15      Sale                             125 bags

Ending inventory in units (correct balance) = 30 bags (155 - 125)

Ending inventory in units (per records) = 55 bags

Thus, the overstatement of the Ending Inventory by $595.50 makes the General Ledger balances to disagree.
