What amount should C report as adjusted beginning retained earnings in its 2018 statement of retained earnings

Respuesta :

Answer:

$214,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount that report as adjusted opening retained earning is shown below:

Per year insurance premium is

= $30,000 ÷ 3 years

= $10,000

Now the beginning retained earning would be understated by

= ($30,000 - $10,000) - ($200,000 × 30%)

= $20,000 - $6,000

= $14,000

Now the amount adjusted is

= $200,000 + $14,000

= $214,000
