Answer:

In the current period,

b. Cost of goods sold

Explanation:

With the current period's beginning inventory (or previous period's ending inventory) understated by $17,000 and the overstatement of the current period's ending inventory by $27,000, it implies that the Cost of goods sold is understated by $10,000.  Once this cost is understated, the net income will be overstated, as well as the owner's equity (via the retained earnings).
