ANSWER: See Answer
 
Closing Stock‘s overstatement increases the profit of the current period and results in the increase of retained earnings relating to the current accounting period. It decreases the profit and thereby retained earnings of the next accounting period since the closing stock of the current accounting period becomes the opening stock of the next accounting period, the overstatement of which has the effect of decreasing the profits and retained earnings.
