    Total Asset $2,381,500

    Net income $298,500

    Explanation:

    Overstated Inventory Leads to the overstatement of Total Assets value and Net Income. Ending Inventory Value is added in the total asset balance, overstatement in ending inventory causes overstatement in total assets.

    The Ending Inventory is also used in the calculation of Cost of Goods sold. Overstated Inventory will cause understatement in Cost of Goods sold and overstatement in Net Income.

    To rectify its effect we will deduct the overstated value of Inventory from Total Asset balance and Net Income value.

    Total Asset = $2,407,000 - $25,500 = $2,381,500

    Net Income = $324,000 - $25,500 = $298,500
