The error resulted in a $150,000 understatement of 2019 net income. Upon discovering the error, Wagner's accountant promptly adds $150,000 to the company's 2020 beginning Retained Earnings balance. What impact will this have on Wagner's Retained Earnings and why will it have that impact? O It will correctly raise Retained Earnings because the error should affect the Retained Earnings account, not an income account. O It will incorrectly raise Retained Earnings because an error that impacts income must always be corrected in an income statement account. O It will correctly raise Retained Earnings; however the error should first be recorded to Income Summary which is then posted to Retained Earnings. O It will incorrectly raise Retained Earnings because such errors must be recorded to the year in which they were made, not the year in which they were discovered.arrow_forward
