    Cost of goods sold will be overstated by $10,000

    Net income will be understated by $10,000

    Explanation:

    The movements in inventory account can be shown as

    Opening balance + purchases - cost of goods sold = ending balance

    As such, understating the ending balance would result in an overstatement of cost of goods sold. This will in turn result in an understatement of gross and net income.
