    Answer: The retained earnings on the balance sheet will be understated.

    Explanation:

    Retained earnings is the reserve profit of an organisation. It forms part of the owners equity on the balance sheet.

    An understatement of revenue and overstatement of expenses will lead to a reduced profit.

    For instance, if revenue is $1500 and expenses is $500 profit will be $1000. However, if revenue is stated as $1200 while expenses is stated as $700. The profit reported will be $500.
