    a company account shows a gross profit for the year of $32,500.After the accounts were prepared it was found that the opening inventory had been overstated by $2400 and the closing inventory had been understated by $3400. What is the corrected gross profit for the year ?

    A.$26 700 B.$31 500 C.$33 500 D $38 300

    Pls correct my working as per below :

    GP 32 500
    + opn overstated 2400
    + clg understated 3400
    GP 33 500

    why opening inventory should be minus ? because the correct answer is D.
    thank you

    Your workings are correct except that you have not added up correctly!!!!

    32500 + 2400 + 3400 = 38,300
