Respuesta :

Answer:

(E) net income is overstated by $225

Explanation:

With omitted income of $540 which is earned shall be added to revenue thus no with this revenue was understated.

Accrued interest payable is a liability to be recorded even if it is to be paid at a later date.

This is an expense to be recognized in Income Statement and a liability in balance sheet.

If not recognized means income is overstated with the same amount.

Net effect is -540 + 225 = $315 revenue understated

Since it is not in option correct option relevant is

(E) net income is overstated by $225.
