Shortly after joining the company in 2021, you discover the following errors related to the 2019 and 2020 financial statements: Inventory at December 31, 2019, was understated by $7,800. Inventory at December 31, 2020, was overstated by $10,800. On December 31, 2020, inventory was purchased for $4,800.

The company uses a periodic inventory system.
