Answer 1

Dear student, only one question is allowed at a time. I am answering the first question

1)

Accrued expenses are recorded as follows :

Date	Particulars	Amount Dr	Amount Cr
xxxx	Expenses	xxxx
	Expenses Payable		xxxx
	( Being expenses accrued recorded)

So, when expenses are recorded as $130 in place of $150, expenses are understated and liabilities are also understated as per above journal entry

So, as per above discussion, option c is the correct option
