    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    If your inventory is miss-accounting and reflected in accounting items, the company has to make a corrective entry that reflects the true value of its assets. Therefore, it must expose the asset and retained earnings and the underestimated value of net earnings of $70,000.

    Have a nice day!
