Document Summary
However, he did not the revenue so both accounts receivable and revenue will be understated. Our accountant did not do either of these so revenue will be understated and unearned revenue, a liability, will be overstated. U: we can initially deduce from the information given that expenses are overstated and assets are understated. O: our accountant should have recorded the insurance expense and then reduced the asset prepaid insurance. Since he did not record this transaction, expenses will be understated and assets will be overstated. Ne: we can initially deduce that liabilities and expenses are overstated. U: ending inventory being overstated means that assets are overstated because inventory is an asset. Additionally we know that cogs was understated if inventory was overstated. O: this problem is a wordy way of saying that depreciation expense is overstated. Buildings are depreciated; however, land is not depreciated.
