The effects on assets, liabilities, and net income are as follows:

Assets are understated by $500

Liabilities are understated by $700

Net income is overstated by $200

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Interest earned from a note receivable = $500

Interest incurred from a note payable = $700

Failure to record these has the following effects:

Assets are understated by $500 (<  $500)

Liabilities are understated by $700 (<  $700)

Net income is overstated by $200
