    B) assets to be understated.

    Explanation:

    The correct journal entry should have been:

    Dr Cash XX

    Cr Notes payable XX

    Instead, the following entry was made:

    Dr Cash XX

    Cr Notes receivable XX

    Since notes receivable is an asset and it is wrongfully decreased, assets will be understated. Since notes payable is a liability and it is not recorded. liabilities will also be understated.
