Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the correcting entry is as follows;

Retained Earning $37,900 (-$17,200 + $15,500 - $36,200)  

               To Inventory $17,200

               To Accumulated Depreciation $20,700

(Being the correcting entry is recorded)

here the retained earning is debited as it decreased the equity and the other two accounts are credited as it decreased the assets
