(Q16c 4AC1/01, SAM 0)
Answer
The $2 000 has been incorrectly posted to the
income statement as an expense. Therefore the
expenses are overstated by $2 000 which means
the profit is understated by $2 000.
The $2 000 has been omitted from the statement of
financial position. Therefore the non-current assets
are understated by $2 000. The capital is also
understated by $2 000 because the profit has been
understated.
