Answer 1

Interest expense = 14,000 x 12% x 3/12

= $420

unadjusted net income= $29,000

adjustments:

a.insurance expense overstated = $ 2,200

b. sales revenue overstated =- $600

c.supplies expense overstated= $540

d.interest expense understated = - $420

adjusted net income = $29,000 + 2,200 - 600 + 540 - 420

= $30,720
