    Answer: The correct answer is A) Net Income would be overstated (Expenses understated) and Balance Sheet liabilities would be understated.

    Explanation: An omission of a posting of an expense incurred during a financial year and payable in thesubsequent year will lead to an understatement of expenses and understatement of liabilities.

    In general, when an expense is omitted it leads to increased net income as less expense will be knocked off against income.

    The balance sheet on the other hand will be understated in terms of a reduced liability balance.
