3. | Understatement of beginning inventory | Understated | Overstated | Overstated |
4. | Freight-in charges are understated | Understated | Overstated | Overstated |
5. | Understatement of ending inventory | Overstated | Understated | Understated |
6. | Understatement of purchases | Understated | Overstated | Overstated |
7. | Overstatement of beginning inventory | Overstated | Understated | Understated |
