Explanation of Solution
Balance Sheet:
Balance Sheet summarizes the assets, the liabilities, and the Shareholder’s equity of a company at a given date. It is also known as the statement of financial status of the business.
Income statement:
Income statement is a financial statement that shows the net income or net loss by deducting the expenses from the revenues and vice versa.
In the given situation the Corporation O does not record a sale made on account in December until a month later when the customer pays its invoice.
b. As he fails to record the sale made on account, the asset (Accounts receivable account) will be understated on the balance sheet. As the revenue from the sale is not recorded, the sales revenue (revenue account) will be understated in the income statement.
