Solution

The correct answer is: "ending inventory of one period is the beginning inventory of the next period."

This is because the ending inventory of one accounting period becomes the beginning inventory of the next period. Therefore, if there is an error in the inventory count at the end of one period, it will carry over and affect the inventory count at the beginning of the next period. This will in turn affect the cost of goods sold, gross profit, net income, current assets and equity in the next period's financial statements.
