The error involves recording a lesser amount in the sales return book, which affects the gross profit. The difference not accounted for is `1,750 - `1,570 = `180. Since the return was to a supplier, it should have been recorded as a purchase return, reducing the cost of goods sold. The error doubled is `360 (`180 not reduced from purchases and `180 wrongly reduced from sales), but the question's figures (`3,320 or `3,140) suggest a misunderstanding of the error's impact. The correct approach is recognizing the error's direct impact (`180) on gross profit, but none of the provided choices accurately reflect this. The choice D is selected based on the context given, assuming a typographical error in the question or a misunderstanding in the calculation process.
