Working and Requirement 1

Error	Effect on Income Statement 2017	Effect on Balance Sheet 2017
Office Supplies expense not accrued in 2017 of $1300.	Since, expenses are not accrued in 2017, the Net Income will be overstated by amount of $1300	If the Office Supplies expenses have been accrued, the account of Supplies in Balance Sheet would have been recorded at $1300 more.

$80000 received for next year rent (2018), recorded as income in 2017	Revenues will be overstated by $80000 and so will be the Net Income	Retained Earnings will be overstated by $80000. Also if the amount has been correctly recorded, $80000 would be appearing on asset side as ‘Unearned Revenue’

$7000 interest revenue failed to get accrued in 2017	This will lead to a shortfall or understatement of Net Income by $7000	Retained Earnings will be understated by $7000. Accrued interest of $7000 will not be appearing.

Journal Entries [Requirement 2] for removing 2018 Errors.

Accounts Title	Dr (in $)	Cr (in $)
Retained Earnings	1300
Office Supplies expenses		1300

Retained Earnings	80000
Rent Revenue		80000
