Net income will be higher for 17,555 if these transactions are not recorded

Explanation:

(1) expired insurance:

we multiply the contract by the expred portion, which is 3 months (Oct Nov and Dec)

19,000 = 1 year = 12 months

acrued: 3 months

19,000 x 3/12 =  4,750 insurance expense

(2) interest revenue on note receivable

principal x rate x time

we must multiply by half a year which is the accrued time between June 30th to December 31th

17,000 x 7% x 6/12 = 595 interest revenue

(3) depreciation 13,400

Total adjustment variation in net income:

interest revenue                   595

insurance expense           (4,750)

depreciation expense     (13,400)

  net income                    (17, 555)
