Answer

Clarkson Company’s net income will not be impacted due to the omission. Regarding the statement of financial position, Clarkson Company’s inventory and accounts payable will be understated by \$214,000. Furthermore, the company’s current ratio will be overstated. Materiality is crucial when resolving whether to adjust or not to adjust for the item. Still, even if the amount were non-material, it should be included in Clarkson Company’s books since it aligns with the ideal of faithful representation.
