Answer to Problem 3.2BPR
The effects on the income statement, if the adjusting entries are not recorded are as follows:
Adjustment Not Recorded | Income Statement | ||
Revenue | Expenses | Net income | |
Depreciation expense | Understated by $1,675 | Overstated by $1,675 | |
Unearned fees | Understated by $6,000 | Understated by $6,000 |
Table (7)
Explanation of Solution
Depreciation expense
Given entry would increase the depreciation expense account, and increase the accumulated depreciation account, if adjusting entry for depreciation expense is not recorded, and it will affect two accounts such as depreciation expense (expense), and accumulated depreciation (contra-asset). Hence the depreciation expense of $1,675 has been understated the value of total expense of the Company IR, and it overstated the value of net income by $1,675.
Unearned fees
Given entry would increase the fees earned account, and decrease the unearned fees account, if adjusting entry for unearned fees is not recorded, and it will affect two accounts such as fees earned (revenue), and unearned fees (liability). Hence the fees earned of $6,000 has been understated the value of total revenue of the Company IR, and it understated the value of net income by $6,000.
Hence, the revenues of the Company IR were understated by $6,000, and the expenses were understated by $1,675. Thus, the net income of Company AC was understated by $4,325

Answer to Problem 3.2BPR
The effects on the balance sheet, if the adjusting entries are not recorded are as follows:
Adjustment Not Recorded | Balance Sheet | ||
Assets | Liabilities | Owner’s Equity | |
Depreciation expense | Overstated by $1,675 | Overstated by $1,675 | |

Table (8)
Explanation of Solution
Depreciation expense
Given entry would increase the depreciation expense account, and increase the accumulated depreciation account, if adjusting entry for depreciation expense is not recorded, and it will affect two accounts such as depreciation expense (expense), and accumulated depreciation (contra-asset). Hence the depreciation expense of $1,675 has been overstated the value of assets of the Company IR, and understated depreciation expense overstates the owner’s equity by $1,675.
Unearned fees
Given entry would increase the fees earned account, and decrease the unearned fees account, if adjusting entry for unearned fees is not recorded, and it will affect two accounts such as fees earned (revenue), and unearned fees (liability). Hence the fees earned of $6,000 has been overstated the value of total liabilities of the Company IR, and understated fees earned understates the owners’ equity by $6,000.
Conclusion:
Hence, the assets of the Company IR were overstated by $1,675, and the liabilities were overstated by $6,000. Thus, the total liabilities ($6,000) and owner’s equity ($4,325) of Company IR was overstated by $1,675
