Balance Sheet errors effect the presentation of assets, liabilities, and equity where the Income Statement errors effect the classification of revenues and expenses (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield 2008, p 1174). The physical count of inventory shows the asset was overstated by $10,000. The omission of the sales transaction and the check showed the cash to be understated by $5,000 and the retained earnings to be overstated by $5,000. On the Income Statement, the Cost of Goods sold was understated by $410,000, Revenue was understated by $5,000, and Net Income was overstated by $5,000.
In determining profitability, the gross profit rate measures sales over cost of goods sold where profit margin ratio measures sales over all expenses (Kimmel, Weygandt, Kieso, 2007, p 235). The gross profit rate is 66% (412,610/624,400) where the profit margin ratio is 13.5% (84,100/624,400). The company does show profitability, but to determine the actual profitability, one would need to compare with industry average and competitors (Kimmel 2007).
The financial position appears to be good where the current ratio, current assets/current liabilities (cash + accounts receivable + inventory / accounts payable), is 9.3%, showing the ability to pay short-term obligations (McClure, 2011). The long-term debt/noncurrent liabilities (equipment) is 32%, which shows the ability to pay long-term debt in case of solvency. In order to determine how well the inventory is managed, prior year financial statements would need to be compared to current financial statements and evaluated for inventory fall and the rise of cash.

The problem is that the sale will include inventories that moved, but without knowing what inventories were moved and what the markup would be,
Because the home country is not required to reimburse foreign depositors for losses, there is no corresponding financial penalty for lax supervision; there is, though, a benefit to the country with lenient regulatory policies because of increased revenues generated and the employment opportunities these services provide (Edwards 1999). Furthermore, banks seeking to conduct multinational business are attracted to countries where incorporation laws and the regulatory framework offer less regulatory oversight

By the turn of the century, though, these low-costs carriers had become profitable or at least had significantly reduced their losses due in large part to concomitant increases by major carriers that were increasing their prices in response to decreasing yields and higher energy prices (Doganis 2001).
